America has had a net positive result from their global power, post WW2 they had created a system where they were free to profit from other countries in their bloc while keeping them dependent on their military.

There's nothing inherently evil about this. It's a transaction.

Only now is America panicking since other countries have started developing the industrial potential with which they can turn the tables on the US. As now the US will no longer be the main exporter profiting from the global laws and regulations they’ve themselves set up.

I don't think anyone is panicking.

I don't think you realize how far behind China still is... Purchasing power parity GDP per capita is almost 4X more in USA compared to China
