US Aircraft carriers 11 and china has 0. Our biggest exporter is the US and the EU, while we have a big deficit with china USA > China. Let us not get ahead of ourselves....US economy has always had recessions and always bounced back stronger. As long as the world's reserve currency is the US dollar, it is untouchable. US has military base all over the world, if anything it is only increasing. The declining US power is nothing but a media hype, nothing at all. One has to work at the wall street to know how strong the US is. If big brothers wants someone, no one stops him.

Sino-Russian muslim alliance is a pipe dream. I think it was uzbekistan where you can be locked up for hijab and what not. It has been Russia's incluence on uzebekistan, also on chechnya...the ruskies will never have an alliance with the muslims....in fact putin once asked the nato to give russia an invitation to join the nato
It depends on what time scale you are talking about. If your are talking about 5-10 years then no, but if you are talking about 15-20 years or more, then absolutely yes. Just read some research papers at RAND corp website and it will give you some idea.
On Russia, I agree that they may not like to go for alliance with Muslims, but they may not have a choice, if they do not want to join EU or NATO. Eurasian Union is almost 20-30% Muslim. SCO neighbors Pakistan and Iran are Muslim.
Eventually I think the Rus will go back to the European fold and join EU, considering racial superiority complex of people of European origin. But there are always surprises. Lets see.
