China's GDP per capita is like 16k.

US's GDP per capita is nearly 70k.

Quality > Quantity is why the US maintains hegemony despite not having the largest population.

We don't need a larger, poorer population. We just need to make sure China's GDP per capita stays low. The US having the greatest consumer market in the world is large part of what makes our hegemony so untouchable. And with America First economic policies, we can also have one of the greatest export markets in the world, too, if we want to, thereby making our hegemony even stronger.
