Well, for one thing, China will be another superpower to contend with.  They have lots of people all of the same sense of nationality and patriotism; they have tons of money and they develop their own arms and nuclear weapons.  They should really be taken seriously.\n\nOh yeah, and they've established bases all around the world.  Isn't there a Chinatown in your state?

For quite a long time. However, China is still behind. It continues to progress. The economy is okay. I would not exactly say that it is fabulous because there are still many many homeless and starving people. America is still leading. However America does feel threatened by China. China is improving at a very fast rate. However, there are still large areas and things that have yet to be improved.

Economically, yes. Oh yes.\n\nIndia is not threatening to us. China is in many ways, but they're too smart to smite us all together, we're good for business.

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.

People speculate China, but I would suggest emerging market in general.  This way you're not putting all eggs in one basket.

China is already an economic superpower \nIt is the no.1 manufacturing destination in the world !\n\nAs far as overall econonomy, China overtaking the USA ... some way to go !!!

China is definitely up and coming and is already one of the major players in the world strategy game. Whether it will be the only player, only time will tell. \n\nSomeone once asked Deng Xiaoping whether democracy has proven to be a superior system of government. He answered: "it is too early to tell as it has only been in exsitence for about 500 years". \n\nWhether China wants to be a world superpower is another story - not everyone wants to be able to project its power even though it has it. Throughout history, China has not expanded outside its borders since historical times even though it had the means to do so. It used to use bribery to improve relations and trade rather than invading and colonising any other country.

It's not really a case of losing courage when you look at the size, growth and devlopment that is occurring in China.  We are not the only super power in the world today.\n\nThe real risk would be if China decided to call in the US loans resulting from the deficit, stopped buying US denominated bonds and put trade restrictions on US imports.  After all without China the US Dollar would be flushed down the financial toilet instead of treading water in the toilet bowl!

Chief Allies: American Consumers, Iran\nArchenemies: Japan/India\n$50 billion per year of foreign investment, a labor force that survives on $70 a month, has enjoyed a 9% GDP growth for 25 years....all under state controlled pseudo-capitalism, has a spiking fuel addiction, and just inked a $70 billion three-decade natural gas deal with Iran\n\nEconomy: China has an economy so robust that to keep the value of its “Yuan” in check, the People’s Bank of China has been propping up our currency by accumulating American dollars, bonds, and treasuries—about $533 billion at last count.  By keeping the currency undervalued, the Chinese are telling the world, “We can provide you with low-cost goods,” Communism may be nearly dead in all but the name in China, but it survives in the form of one last taboo: the fact that the right of an individual to won agricultural land is tenuous (weak) at best.\n\nProblem: China needs to address the fact that its farmers have missed out on the double-digit growh that has transformed urban China and turned its richest cities into some of the most dynamic in Asia.\n\nProblem: If China decided to drop/dump its dollar reserve on the world currency market, interest rates here could skyrocket, severely damaging our stock and housing markets.  However, that probably won’t happen because China needs American prosperity to continue its growth, and Americans with extra dollars love Chinese imports.  It keeps the Chinese economic juggernaut rolling.

I think I would show the statistics for "people studying Chinese in the US is drastically on the rise" and information on the WTO.  I would spell out US (United States), WTO (World Trade Organization), and HK (Hong Kong).  Why do you think the trend toward learning Chinese, French, or German is on the rise among young Chinese Americans?  There are a few points you could elaborate upon with statistics or background information.

I would say it's increasing since we have increased trade with China and learning it would provide job openings for those that know it.

China is still quite far off from becoming the next superpower.  The American military hegemony is still by far the strongest on the face of the earth.  China really can't compare.  However, by mid-century the notion of China as another superpower is a legitimate query.  The answer to if they will dictate world policy like the US - is NO. Although both China and America's economy will both serve as dominate powers, foreign policy is one of the biggest differences between China and the US.  China has, for hundreds of years...(going back to Genghis Kahn and the Mongols) been a very protectionist country.  It is ingrained in them to stand up against foreign invaders, and to keep the motherland strong - through its people.  The US has not been invaded, pillaged, looted in its history...hardly at all actually.  Therefore,  American aggression stems out of having nop empathy to what it is like to have a war happen in your own country.  Insofar as China will be a superpower, it will be a superpower that respects all countries and does not meddle in the internal happening/politics...which the US has become notorious for (esp. latter 20thc.)  \nRight now, Beijing has 48 African leaders in its capital to discuss: investment, trade and politics.  While China does not support terrorism, or fund it in any way, they do respect soveriegn nations right to develop in a peaceful way, with a government chosen by their people.  \nOn the though of an American/Chinese war.  While the 20thc century was a century of large nation states fighting for imperialist reasons, the 21st c. will be characterized more by large nation states combatting terrorism/nuclear proliferation and other uprisings around the world that seek to change the status quo.  China and the US's economies today are so interdependent, that any war between the two, would have debilitating effects on both countries.  Something that neither country wants.  Whether you like it or not, China and the US are allies. I know this is difficult for most Americans to except...especially with the trade blockade still in effect against Cuba...but communist China is now an ally to America.  The USA supports the one-China policy of Taiwan, Tibet, and scores of other issues that could potentially strike a rift between the two. Likewise, China has said it is commited to fighting terrorism.\nChina and the USA will never go to war with each other. \nIt is simply not in their interests, and would be catastrophic for both countries.

whilst it is impossible to be sure when forecasting any economic occurences, there are some distinct factors which suggest the dollar will fall sometime in the near future.\n\nthe main one is the US current accounts deficit (which is about $800 billion). at some point overseas lenders will become tired of dollar-denominated assets, and decide they no longer are interested in America's ever increasing rate of debt. this will result in a fall of the dollar as American exports are encouraged in order to pay off those creditors.\n\nsome speculators suggest that the dollar is already grossly overvalued for two main reasons, both to do with China. one is that the Chinese yuan has been kept artificially low by the Chinese goverment in order to encourage Chinese exports. because the US conducts so much "dollar" business with China then an undervalued Yuan has resulted in an overly powerful dollar. the other is that that the Chinese federal reserve has bought significant amounts of dollar-denomintated assets (such as US bonds) in order to encourage the scarcity of the US currency. when these two factors shift (as is inevitable) then the dollar will experience significant devaluation. \n\nthis will play out as follows - the Yuan will become more powerful as the Chinese standard of living increases and Chinese people show more interest in importing overseas products. the Dollar will diminish in scarcity when the Chinese government sells its US assets.\n\ndomestically the rate of household debt both to overseas creditors and also owed to the overpriced equity and housing bubbles are enough to speculate that the US may be headed for some level of recession. if investor confidence in the United States is jeopardized then this will also result in "capital flight" (ie investors taking their money to other countries). if this were to happen then the US dollar would become less prized, and thus decrease in foreign exchange value.\n\nnevertheless, it is worth bearing in mind that many of the world's greatest investment and economic minds (like Warren Buffett) have speculated or even bet against the dollar, but it has continued to remain strong. obviously these things are impossible to predict, but the factors I have cited may suggest that at some point in the next few years the dollar will diminish in value.

the 21st century has already been described as the "Chinese century."  If you want your kids to be REALLY employable when they're older, get them to learn Chinese.  Not because the Chinese will take over the world militarily (perhaps), but because they will become an exporting powerhouse.  Cheap labor, high exports...makes for a good economy.\n\nAs for whether the Chinese would "massacre" as another user said is to be seen.  I wonder what the Mongols would have thought of that statement!\n\nRussia doesn't have the power to control the various criminal elements in their society, nor the economy to generate the finances to control the world.\n\nAmerica will remain a powerhouse both militarily and economically for the foreseeable future.  I had to sound like a cliche but as long as there are men and women willing to give their life for the liberty and freedom America stands for America will continue to exist as a powerhouse.

America is a superpower whose power is unbalanced in the world today. However, America will not die like Rome, but simply fade like Great Britain. New powers are emerging China, India, The European Union, and possibly Russia or Japan. Now on the world stage there could be four or five great world powers and the world like there were prior to World War II. America will always be here, but it will have to compete with these new markets. China is the fast grower, but India will surpass in 50 years. Britain faced the same challenges and it just passed the torch off to us. We will probably pass it off to India because they are an ally and the world's largest democracy. America will always hold a seat at the UN security council, but new seats will need to be added. So America will not be squashed, but it's power will be diminished.

(m)\n\nThe WTO's trade review, scheduled for release on April 10, will praise China for economic reforms made over the last three decades, which have helped cut by over half the amount of Chinese living in poverty and increase gross domestic product per capita nine-fold. \n\nCommitments made by China to join the WTO in 2001 "have provided a catalyst for reform, paving the way for continuing strong growth in the foreseeable future," the global commerce body said in the summary. \n\nBut "a number of challenges remain," the WTO said, citing China's currency policy, protection of intellectual property rights and slow liberalization of key service sectors such as banking and telecommunications. \n\nThe report makes no mention of a recent thaw in trade hostilities between China and the United States, which has been bogged down by Washington's US$202 billion (euro168 billion) trade deficit with the Asian country and has centered on the valuation of the Chinese yuan. \n\nAmerican manufacturers contend China is blatantly manipulating its currency, keeping it undervalued by as much as 40 percent, to make Chinese goods cheaper for American consumers and U.S. products more expensive in China. \n\nAccording to the WTO, "the move to a more flexible exchange rate could enable China to operate a more independent monetary policy and allow the market to play a greater role in determining interest rates and therefore in allocating resources." \n\nChina raised the yuan's value by 2.1 percent against the U.S. dollar when it changed its exchange rate system in July, basing the value of the yuan on a group of global currencies and allowing limited fluctuation. \n\nBut the U.S. and other countries have been pressing Beijing to raise the yuan's value further.
