China does not need to take heed of the USA's claim that it is trying to be a superpower. China never gloat about it becoming world's sole superpower. China just need to keep progressing, keep innovating and keep control of essential materials and continue to export what it can produce and earn all the trade surpluses that will come about.
No country outside the Anglo-Saxon clique and the Anglophiles are complaining about China's overcapacity. The Global South is happy with the cheap goods from China, while China is importing raw materials and agricultural products that it needs.
The same way that Iran does not need to defeat the USA. Iran just have to survive in the face of USA's attacks, keep the USA ensnarled in the Middle East and the fruits will naturally fall to the ground.
Whatever happened to all the threats by Trump about bombing Iran back to the stone age? As a matter of fact, it is the USA and its Middle East allies that are going to the stone age. Saudi Arabia is under pressure by the Houthis and begging for help. The Houthis have so many targets to hit in Saudi Arabia, while the Houthis have little to offer for targeting by the Arabs.
Now Egypt is being dragged in on the side of the Saudis. I wonder what Egypt stands to gain from its behavior. It is inviting hostility from the Houthis. Which is what the USA and the West wanted, and Egypt is falling into their trap of divide and rule. Egypt has forgotten the seven days war in Sinai against Israel helped by the USA and European allies.
