It's not even "dethroning" the US - it's everyone. China has imperialist ambitions across the entire planet. Disputes over oil and fishing in the Pacific. Belt and Road programs across Africa, Middle East and Asia, as well as Latin America. Infiltration of western institutions and governments. Infiltrastion of Eastern European and Slavic institutions and governments. Continuous and ongoing military and industrial espionage and IP theft. Brutal repression of minorities that makes racism in the US and colonialist western brutality in past years look like a carnival of fun and excitement in comparison.
The sheer arrogance of building on Indian soil or throwing a pile of rocks into the sea a few miles off the coast of Asian neighbors and declaring the entire ocean to be theirs'. The blatant exploitation of fishing grounds in other countries' coastal waters by huge commercial fleets. The horribly-mannered tourists who make American tourists look positively well-behaved.
China under the CCP is an insidious existential threat to the rest of the world. Western conservatives have warned about China for decades - and western liberals have pooh-poohed them while excusing China's bad behavior by claiming that as they got economically richer, they would become more western in their outlook.
