China may become the world's largest economy in the next decade, while the U.S. maintains its military advantage.

Foreign Media: A survey by the Atlantic Council found that China may overtake the United States to become the world's largest economy in the next decade, but even so, the United States may still maintain its military advantage.

58% of experts believe that by 2036, China will become the world's top economy, while 33% think the United States will maintain its economic dominance. In terms of technological innovation and diplomatic influence, China and the United States are seen as "evenly matched" competitors. The United States leads in technological innovation with a 47% share, while China has 44%; in diplomatic influence, the United States leads with 38%, while China has 33%. However, 73% of experts believe the United States will maintain its military dominance, while only 24% believe China will do so.

Melanie Hart, a senior director at the Atlantic Council, said that underestimating China's strength and ambitions is dangerous.
