How Convenient

Chinese scientific analysis tells the Chinese Communist Party that their plan to achieve the China Dream of dominance can't be stopped.

China's "scientific analysis" claims foreign "resistance is futile". :

Time moves relentlessly in one direction. Nothing else does. In some cases, the direction of travel is upward (升); in others, it is in reverse (逆). There is, however, an overall direction (大方向). The Party, in a white paper on “China’s National Security in the New Era” (新时代的中国国家安全), now tells us with confidence that that direction aligns with its vision: “The historic tide … is unstoppable; the overall direction of human development and progress, and the overall logic of world history, have not changed” (历史潮流不可阻挡,人类发展进步的大方向、世界历史曲折前进的大逻辑没有变) (State Council Information Office, May 12).

Is the scientific analysis sure about what the overall direction is?

I'm sure that's the information flowing through the Neican system to the top of the CCP (quoting an article):

But this internal system is struggling to give frank assessments as Chinese leader Xi Jinping consolidates his power, making it risky for anyone to directly question the party line even in confidential reports, a dozen Chinese academics, businesspeople and state journalists said in interviews with The Associated Press. 
And don't you dare claim the Chinese have some near-genetic ability to plan their rise to dominance

You have to admit that claiming the rise of China--one day--is inevitable excuses a lot of ef ups in the imperial bureaucracy, eh?
