The scenario you declare here is basically option 2. Some sort of cold war stalemate between two super powers.

The US doesn't want this. China wants more then a stalemate.

You are right, none of these are options by choice, they are only possible outcomes.

I agree, but think I am making an even broader point. Im not just desccribing a cold war stalemate, but the fundamental power relation between nation states going back 5,000+ years.

History is littered with empires. Nothing is ever stable. Both situations of multitudes of nation states and a single monolithic empire don't have staying power.
