Dominate? In what sense?
I see them dominating in repeating the mistakes of past centuries.
Hitler and Stalin already showed totalitarianism does not work. And
frankly, Germany and the Soviet Union were far more impressive than what
China is now; yet they failed. Germany's downfall was more dramatic and
immediate; Soviet Union's failures took a few more decades to be
obvious.
And yet, I see some Chinese posters not only extolling the virtues of
totalitarianism but almost pretending that somehow that itself is
their "killer app" that the clueless Western World is unaware of.
To see how exactly China will fail one just needs to re-read Orwell's
1984.
