I think it just needs to be accepted that the US's time as the biggest economy in the world, and the baddest ass on the planet is coming to an end, and China will be the global economic (and hence military) power. And India won't be far behind. America will have to be content with 3rd place.
We just need to hope that before China gets to first place that it moves from authoritarian state to democratic free state.
20 years ought to do it for the transition.
