Until 1800, China and India were the dominant powers of the world, when they are overtaken by the powers of Western Europe, and after 1900 they will be overtaken by the USA, then by Russia and Japan. Now it is time for the Chinese continent to re-assert itself, and after 2050 India will have a similar path and after the end of the demographic explosion in Africa predicted towards the end of the 21st century, it will also become one of the world's rulers, thus proving that the West is only a tab in the history of the movement of wealth on Earth.
