Unlike the US, China hasn't been interested in exporting its form of government since the Cold War. If anything, they'd prefer if their rivals stayed more democratic and free, so it's easier to make money and spread propaganda there.

Also keep in mind that China is making way more enemies than friends these days, so there is no way the world is going to be China-centric to the extent that you're worried about.

We see no evidence for that. In fact, that's part of their current propaganda as well, if you read their news.

See their reactions to the BLM protests and banning of TikTok in India and the US. Of course they'll tell their citizens that their government is the best and other countries should copy that.
