The global economy is too interconnected for economic sanctions to do very much without harming other developed countries just as much, if not more, than they would hurt the PRC. Boycotts may work in a limited way to put pressure on western companies to not self-censor, but that depends on western populations actually caring about this as an issue. But big corporations are almost never going to not try to invest in mainland China; the market is far too large.
Looking at population growth and birthrates, in the long term China is arguably even more demographically fucked than the west, so wait long enough and they'll eventually stagnate and peak in power. A Chinese-dominated world is not an inevitable future, nor would it be a permanent one.
