I'm sure you meant regional power. China never had much influence beyond her local hood. They actually have more international clout now than any time in her history.
Regional power is correct.
They actually have more international clout now than any time in her history.
Don't agree with this part.
According to the Financial Times and the Economist, China made up around 30-40% of global GDP for more than a thousand years.
So in relative terms, we definitely had more clout back in historical times. Nowadays we make up only about 11% of global GDP which is very crap for a country of our population size.
