The Greeks could only be a hegemon if you ignore Indian and China. Other than the Brits and the Americans, I think the only people to be able to claim to ever be a hegemony is the Mongols.

India & China were in the Orient

an Hegenomy refers only to dominance of the Western World

this only crossed over into the East with the rise of Spain as the first global seapower

[Smitty-48]

China is not a Hegemon, China is still within the American Hegenomy

China is still propped up by American trade & culture

China only has a plan to make themselves the Hegemon, which they schedule to happen in 2049

[Smitty-48]

the trap for China has nothing to do with military force

the trap for China is that Hegemon is an entirely Western concept

so in the end, China making themselves the Hegemon would lead to a kind of suicide

in that they will cease to be a Chinese culture and become Western themselves

2049?

Hello.

That is a very specific date.

In what Chinese top secret military document is this date written, dare I ask...

And please, elaborate on the plans for Chinese World Domination.

Yellow Peril get behind me.

Phoenix rising from the ashes of "Chinese conquest" FTW

Western Hegemon rising from the ashes.

You just said it yourself and made my case.

Ha!

the Chinese are not keeping it secret, they lay out their plan quite openly

as did America in supplanting the British

America made no bones about it, the British were committing suicide in the Somme,

America was going to pick up the pieces

you don't take an Hegenomy by force

Rome supplanted Greece as the Hegemon

how ?

Greece melted down into civil wars,

the Romans were Greeks who moved to Italy to set up their New Greece from there

America supplanted Britain when the British went bankrupt and Wall Street bought the British Empire for cheap

Ha!

not the case, because Western does not mean American

the West is mostly tyrannies by American standards, the Russians are Western too

[Smitty-48]

the Chinese Hegemon is not going to be Western like the Anglo-American Enlightenment

the Chinese will be like Spain, a Western slave empire

[Smitty-48]

the real question for America is this

do you still want to be the Hegemon ?

Americans keep saying "we don't want to be the World Police !"

very well then, surrender your Hegenomy willingly, that's what the British did

careful what you wish for tho, because China is perfectly happy to replace you as the World Police
