IMHO, this is nonsense. Humanity has existed for so long, yet the Chinese still haven't conquered the world:D
Look at how the Chinese developed in the 20th century....
For example, they abolished slavery (i.e., the slave-owning system) only in 1911 (if I'm not mistaken... to AlexeyPank: am I wrong?)... and now... it's the most powerful country in the world after Uncle Sam... and even then, it's unclear who is ahead now...
