The emergence of China as a world power would (in the long run) augur well for the world's Balance of Power.\nThe present Unipolarity that is been experienced would change to Multipolarism with the emergence of other super powers.\nI dont really beleive that China is practising the true tenets of communism. Am sure the "gods" of communism wont be happy with the nature of comunism being practised there!!!\nChina, I believe, is tending more towards capitalism & that would in the long run help the global economy develop faster.

one day if the US gets a little more power over the rest of the world and some technological advances the US could actually become and empire and use its influence to in effect rule the world.....or.....maybe one day the superpowers of the world will decide to band together and make the entire world and all its people into an unbreakable empire...hey you may laugh now but one day it could happen.

Have we not had enough wars?  What did we gain so far?  Disrepect from the rest of the world from what I can gather talking with people around the world.  \nOn what ground do we wage a war with China?  We'll be shooting ourselves in the foot again, and big time!

You have it backwards. China isn't ready to compete with us.\n\nSeriously, do you think we became a Superpower through blundering along? We know China's there, and China isn't a threat in any real way but nuclear.\n\nGive them fifty more years, then we'll talk.

I don't think the US is going to ask for war against China. That's just stupid. But I think it is very likely that China will force us into War against our will. The teetering balance with Taiwan is just the tip of the iceberg. China has it's eyes on the entire region--the entire world for that matter.\n\nI think we're safe for at least a few more years...maybe even as many as 10. China hasn't finished feeding off of the US yet. They'll wait until they have more money, more military technology, and they will wait until their generation of all men grows to a good military fighting age. There is a space of more than 10 years where the boys outnumber the girls 13 to 1. This generation will be more enthused about risking their lives to take over territory that actually has females. \n\nIt must be understood that this isn't "inevitable" just because China has the manpower. It is thought that it will happen because China pretty much says that it is going to happen. China, though it just loves to cater to the US's cheep labor force needs, is openly anti-American. The students learn about the US as an evil empire. \n\nSo is it truly "inevitable"? I think the relationship between the US and China could change--I think we could possibly become friends. But it is much more likely that in the future China will show aggression to the US or the US's interest that will lead us into war.

over a hundred year period, America will cease to be the global force that it is today, the chances of Australia taking its place are slim. \n\nThe contenders at the moment seem to be a United Europe, China and India.

The Sino-American War will happen in the next 20 years. It will involve nuclear weapons. Invading China isn't feasible.  That's also a bad battle plan, because the longer we wait, the stronger China gets.

China is already a major threat to the US. Our economies are so tightly linked that China could take us down any time they want. The problem for them is that it would destroy their economy also. Then the question becomes, do they care about their economy or their people? It's the MAD doctrine all over again, but waged through economics instead of nuclear weapons.

Well, i'm glad you're seeing world with a wide vision..\n\nYes in 2004 a statistical survey was conducted by US banks & financial institutions... Major banks like JP Morgan was involved to study the world economy after few decades... the survey produced an astonishing result!\n\nRESULT: After 50 years, China and India will fight for the world number 1 spot, with US behind by 1/2 ranks...\n\n1. China / India\n2. Japan / US\n\nThe suryvey was based on the current growth of china & India, but if the rate depreciates then the result may be different...\n\nReasons: \n\n* China will become the world leader in exports of consumer products, electronics, computer hardware services...\n\n* India will become the world leader in software industry and export man power worldwide to make its economy boom.. India already leads manpower in s/w industry\n\n* Japan will also be the world leader in automobile, electronics, technology...\n\n* US will be the world leader in research, technology, arms & weapons exports...but economy made down by constant terrorist wars and other competitors like china...\n\nThe World No 1 spot:\n\n* China has major chances than India because of its world largest communism idealogy. Even after supports from world biggest democratic countries, India will lose because of infrastructure and democratic beaureacracy..

It could be another superpower, there doesn't need to be only one as England/France proved in the days of empire. China definately has the capacity to become a superpower, it has the most people of any nation, is quickly industrialising and has the largest air force of any nation already. My guess is that it will achieve true superpower status at around 2040.

The answer will be found with the Chinese.  Some would say they are on a course towards war with the "West" right now.  Conspiracy theorist on the wacko right even suggest China is behind al queda so they can learn more about our tactics, weaknesses, etc.  I don't buy that one.  \n\nChina has serious problems providing for its masses; food, water, energy, and oil are serious problems for the country and they may begin to the view the US as an ugly opponent for those things.  "IF" they can turn the US into a 3rd world nation that doesn't compete for resources we'll probably be fine.  If we remain a first world nation that bids higher on oil supplies and charges more for our vast agricultural resources then it could happen.

China isn't going to be the "absolute power."  While technologically they are moving quite fast, socially and politically, they are generations behind.  During the 1980s, it was the belief that the Germans and the Japanese would become two of the dominant forces in the world, possibly even passing the US.  But, less than a decade later, both economies were crashing.\n\nI don't think the USA will "crash off" either.  The only way the US would really run into a problem is through isolationism.  I think the idea of countries as superpowers are going to lose their luster since the end of the Cold War.  Instead, it will become consortiums, such as NATO, the EU and OPEC.\n\nAs much as some people would hope the US would dissolve, they don't realize the true potential for it.  We are so invested throughout the world, through economic and social foundations.  The US donates more money to humanitarian causes that anywhere else, and we have the largest economy, both for consumption and production.

The American Empire will crumble.  We will be to China and India in the future, as Europe is to America today.  We will no longer control the wealth of the world.  With the lose of that foothold, we will lose our ability to control other nations.  That loss of power will erode our security to a critical point because of the amount of anti-American sentiment we have (and will) build up over the course of time due to our international arrogance.\nIn short, we will lose our civil liberties, our money, our power, and our pride.  We will be a shell of what we were.

Bush ... thinks he is the ruler of the world\n\nBut I think ... the Chinese will ... in some years ...

I'd worry about Iran first.  They will have nukes and they are crazy.\n\nDon't get me wrong, what China does is not right, but if we wanted to wage war against oppression, there is a looooonngg list of countries around the world we have to deal with.  China is only the largest of the bunch.  It is also the dumbest one to offend.  You don't want to rattle the cage of a sleeping dragon of a billion people.  Our economies are so inexorably linked as well, it'd be very, very bad for our economy if we were to hurt our ties with them.\n\nChina is also unique in the sense that they were essentially regressing both socially, economically, and technologically during the Mao years.  That's the better half of a century where one of the largest countries in the world sits still while the rest of the world is moving forward at breakneck speed. Now, they must, in their eyes at whatever cost, modernize to catch up for the last fifty years of stagnation.\n\nStill, we can increase indirect pressures on them, and force our businesses to be more stringent in deals with the Chinese.  However, we can only do so little. Doing good just doesn't seem as righteous when it ends up biting you in the rear with a ton more bad.

I believe if America keeps doing focusing on fighting with Iran and Iraq then another country (China or Japan) is going to be the most industrailized and richest. Also, the world is going to be so globalized, we are going to be outsourcing every job possible to keep prices down and to make the big buisnesses even bigger.

well.....right now....china's eco is booming up...so i highly doubt that china will ever invade tw at this time....coz when u r rich...u know the value of peace....but if they ever want to invade tw....i guess they can do through economic wise instead of invasions....coz through military...they cant gurantee a 100 percent victory..since usa is in between...but if they kept on giving tw bussinessman more special privileges to invest in china....somehow....tw's eco will merge with china's eco...rememebr...it is china merge tw not tw merge china....coz china's got way bigger marcket than tw....and perhaps this is the ebst way for china to control over tw...it maybe slow...but sure very effecitve......
