Both sides have considerable power. Keep in mind that the Chinese benefited from a US policy designed to help due to US interest in sidelining the USSR. That help is gradually being replaced with the hostility reserved before for the USSR. So, while China may have power to attract people* the US can do a lot more to limit/sideline China. *doubtful though as people will need to live under a dictatorship. This is ignoring what damage a bad/incompetent leader can do to China, one like Stalin since Xi is essentially removing all checks and limits of power.
