All true! It's too easy to focus on the downsides, but there are significant upsides as this comment points out. There's an excellent discussion by Geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan here [1]; he talks about China vis a vis the US with respect the geographic, demographic, and economic advantages/disadvantages. Worth a watch in this context.

FYI, Peter is a bit of a sensationalist (he’s been predicting China will collapse within 10 years since 2005).

So very true, but that does not change the geographical, economic, and demographic factors he speaks about.
