Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an outline of Chinese growth waves of real GDP per capita (decadal AAGR), and real GDP per capita levels, during the 1780–2020s, and surveys Chinese techno-institutional, ecological, and potential hegemonic performance during the 1970s–2020s. Section 8.2 summarizes the data for the 1780–2020s, and presents hypotheses for investigation. Section 8.3 details the pathways and circuits of socioeconomic dynamics (CSD) associated with the seven spheres vis-à-vis their contribution to long waves, potential hegemony, and climate change. This section compares and contrasts China with the USA since potential Chinese hegemony depends crucially on such comparisons. Section 8.4 scrutinizes the contradictions associated with Chinese performance and its significance for future long waves, hegemony, and climate change. Section 8.5 analyzes hegemony from a comparative perspective for China, USA, Britain, and the Dutch. A conclusion follows.
