Is China more powerful than USA?
Power, how is that measured? China places the importance of the people first, that's pretty powerful.
They eliminated poverty for 800 million Chinese, that is incredibly powerful.
In a study conducted by Harvard University a 15 year study between 2001 - 2016 found that the China government rated 95.5% on satisfaction by the people. That is astonishingly powerful.
China are working with 180+ countries around the world (18 which are EU member states) to build infrastructure at a technological level no other country could replicate. That is incredibly powerful for the countries they’re working with.
Contrasting that is…
America builds military bases around the world.
America is the second largest economy in the world.
America has a huge military placed all over the world.
This is what is culturally different between the east and west, how the measure life and what is considered powerful. If power is measured on how hard or often you can hit, then it’s bullying, not power.
If instead, the importance is on building the necessities of life and ensuring all people can live their best life, then that brings power to the people, courage, self respect, and the right to live on the feet and not survive on their knees.
China will long be remembered for what they built, not for what they destroyed.

In Summary, what you are saying is that America is the most powerful D power in the world and China is the most powerful C power in the world. Please correct me if I didn't understand your answer.
C= constructive
D= destructive
