The USA is currently a Superpower in decline. It's still early enough we may reverse that decline, or we may not.
China firmly plans on being the next apex world power, if they can hold everything together. Without changes, no one else appears poised to replace both the USA and China. Russia wants to, but lacks a solid base to build on, and Europe can barely keep Europe's ducks in a row. No one else is currently close enough to give it a decent shot.
