Civilization games taught me that vassals, when powerful enough can break their vassalage and become free again.

Perhaps that's what is happening with China. It's no longer dependent on the US in the way it was and in time, will eclipse the US as the largest superpower.

China isn't a U.S. vassal. An economic partner of convenience, maybe, the U.S. influence on China's political structure is pretty limited.
