IMO, China's an economic superpower, but a regional power by all other measures.

I think that's a reasonable take. Same with the EU.

I see people throw around the term "superpower" too much without thinking what the term means. Russia is most certainly not a superpower, and hasn't been for some time. It'll be lucky if it can avoid being a Chinese vassal state at this point.
