The Brittish empire couldn't fall either ... it did. The titanic couldn't sink ... it did.
Any Nation can be invaded, even the US. China has now the 2nd biggeste economy in the world, who knows how big and strong their fleet will become in the next 10 years?
The comparison between the USA and China reminds me of another comparison, the one between the USA and the Brittish empire. Don't forget that the US was also in an underdog position as the "former little colony" of the UK.

Also consider the real big threat: China's production power wil be greater than that of the US, cheap workers, cheap production, ... They will be able to outproduce the US when they have the bigger economy. You know why the US won WWII? Not because it had the best tanks, ... : they won because they outproduced the Nazis even though the Nazis had the best tanks and more experienced troops. The allies also won because of the manpower advantage, at the end of WWII the germans were only fighting with kids, women and old men. China has the biggest manpower pool out of the whole world, so they will be the last one to run out of soldiers.
