Where do you live now?
I think that war is much more likely than a peaceful transition to a China-centric world.
I also don't think that war will be a "hot" conflict. China's economy would collapse if the developed world abandoned it.
What will continue is the "cold wars" being waged right now through the internet. Russia, China, and Iran are all actively trying to destabilize the US. All have had some success, with Russia seemingly having the most success (although the relevant intelligence briefings are still classified for now).
There's no reason for countries successfully waging digital wars (with no casualties or loss of business) to suddenly start firing missiles in a world of mutually-assured destruction.
