Because their GDP is growing and at the current pace they will pass the USA around 2025. That's why the USA cares now.

Left unchecked, China will soon be the biggest economy in the world. The USA doesn't want that.

Nothing wrong with having another superpower surpass you but China is not the superpower anyone wants leading the world given their track record.

Anyone? Really? I think a good number of people on this planet is fed up with the US leading the world with its own track record. Not saying I agree with them but saying no one would be happy to see China surpass the US is wrong in my opinion.

I would say most people who wish to see a free and liberalized world and are well-informed on China's ambitions would not want a world led by them. Obviously, nationalists and people with financial ties/interests in China would.
