China faces a number of challenges that will prevent it from becoming the world's dominant power. These challenges include:

Demographic decline: China's population is aging rapidly. The number of people of working age is declining, while the number of elderly people is increasing. This will put a strain on China's economy and make it difficult to sustain its rapid growth.
Economic inequality: China's economy is becoming increasingly unequal. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening. This could lead to social unrest and political instability.
Environmental degradation: China's rapid economic growth has come at a high environmental cost. The country's air and water are polluted, and its forests are being destroyed. This is making it increasingly difficult for China to sustain its economic growth.
Political instability: China is a one-party state. The Chinese Communist Party has a monopoly on power. This lack of political competition makes it difficult for China to address its challenges and could lead to political instability.

In addition to these challenges, China also faces a number of external threats. The United States is wary of China's rise and is taking steps to contain it. Japan and India are also concerned about China's growing power. These external threats could make it difficult for China to achieve its goals.

For all of these reasons, it is unlikely that China will rule the world. China is a rising power, but it faces a number of challenges that will prevent it from becoming the world's dominant power.
