yes.\ni would even go so far to say that are likely to become the next world "hyper" power. (the US is the first recognized hyper power country and was so some time after the fall of USSR)\nchina has said for a long long time they were tired of being treated as a second rate country and were going to emerge as a superpower.  the three gorges dam was just one of many things they started doing to boost themselves.\nthey definitely have a goal and there is no sign that they will reach it.

China is superpower and this is a long time ago fact!\nBut because they are much people and they have nuclear weapons this doesn't means that they are ready to force the rest world to accept them as superpower. They need to achieve many things in politics in justice in health-care in technology and education!

In terms of power it is easily the US.  \n\nAs for who follows who it rather depends if we are talking historically, musically, fashion?\n\nIs there a particular aspect you are concerned about?

How many people across the globe still consider us the most powerful country as it is? Our reputation is dwindling. (If you ask me, the current administration shoulders the biggest share of blame for this.) Headlines such as "EVERY NATION ON EARTH SIGNS KYOTO AGREEMENT; US REFUSES" are not enhancing our popularity. It's time to stop resting on our laurels.

The best superpower would definitely have to be the ability to read people's minds. That could defintely come in handy on a date or when you're fighting crime, it's a multipurpose power to have.

Get your head out of the sand,dummy!  The US is not interested in any other country except those that mean harm to it or it's allies who the US has an obligation to protect.  If you mean other countries like Iran, N.Korea, Syria, Venezuela, I would be glad to explain each scenario, but I won't because you simply will not understand or will refuse to listen.\n\nSo, stay stuck on stupid and if you would like a better explanation, please re- phrase your question in a manner that makes it more palatable.

America rules! All countries wouldn't be jack without us. Every country in Europe would be speaking German. Australians would be speaking Japanese. Either join us or prepare to get bombed as well.

The only other country that has a power to take over as a super power is Peoples Republic of China. It is economically fastest growing nation and has the ability to stand against all the other nation. I would never agree to EU or India as they have a hiostroy of splitting and no co herence between them India has its own problems. But no 2 would be Australia.

Because perhaps they do, at least for now. Console yourself with the historical perspective. Every superpower from the dawn of time has made the same mistake, stumbled, collapsed and succumbed to some other superpower. The Chineese Dynasties, the Greeks, The Romans, The British, the Germans, next the Americans. Too bad arrogance gets in the way of intelligence, but such is the fault of man.

USA No 1!!! U.S.A, U.S.A!!! Yeeeaaahh!! Whooo!!\n\nWhat's an "italy" or a "portugal"? I know what an "england" is, that's something you tie on a lead and drag into warzones so that you're not in it on your own.\n\nBrad Friedel Brian Mcride for president of UK and Brian Mcride for UK first lady!!!!

Lolz, i think that the US will still continue on to be the world power and slowly try to unite the world under Bush.  Once all the world is renamed into the great UNITED STATES OF EARTH, Bush will be our "central" leader and bring peace to all!!!\nNO WORLD WAR 3!!! ALL HAIL BUSH!!!\n=)

Do you really think the US beaurocrats and politicians would allow that to happen?  We aren't a super power because we sit back and twiddle our thumbs while others beat us out on something.  We'd find some reason to sanction them long before they surpassed us.

the United States is the world's only superpower.  it outspends all other countries COMBINED on its military/defense.  it may be that soon, it will be rivalled as the world's strongest economy, but when it comes to military might, the U.S. has no competitors even close to it.
