Why would the west be doomed by China? Looking at how things are going, it could become a mere shadow of it's former self (declining population, overwhelmed by immigrants etc.) in one century or so, but it will be their own fault.

Plus I doubt China will ever be that big. It will surpass the USA one day, yes, but not double it's economy. Lots of useless land compared to USA or Russia for instance, population  already aging, too few nukes, contradictions within it's own political system and so on. It is just impossible for the world to become unipolar like it was on previous centuries.
