The US finds itself in the same position now. The only remaining question is how long will it take for the US to realise the China is the new super power?
50 years or so at a minimum. Then we go back to the old 'balance of power' game. Won't that be fun.

We can do the math. Don't forget India who will also be a super power. Math, again. The Indians may well beat the Chinese to the top of the heap.
