How long until China replaces the US as the world's most powerful country?
I live in China and all the leaders expect China to take over the world. They speak in detail about how once China is the leader economically, they will make Chinese the main language of the world.
It's not that I am afraid of them taking over the world, it's that all of my analysis shows me that they will be successful...

I heard the USSR told us they were first in space and that they would hang us and we would sell them the rope
I remember Japan calling us stupid and lazy and that they would replace us as the world economical power
I really remember the E U telling us they would surpass us and that oil would be sold in the euro
So y'all might understand why I give you post about as much credit as i would a bucket of warm spit
I too lived in South east Asia I saw rivers black with pollution I saw families sell their young daughters into prostitution I saw ''factories'' that look more like concentration camps I saw old sick people sitting outside of hospitals hoping to get in I really don't believe you ever lived in China or any were in Asia

My theory is that once the supply of oil runs out, the chaos of repurposing America's infrastructure will destabilize everything, and allow China an opportunity to gain more power. Maybe 30 years? 50?
Americans don't tend to look more than 4 to 10 years in advance. China makes plans centuries ahead. I think they'll take over sooner or later.

Already happened.
Its just that no one said it happened.
You know , like when the news refused to say we were in a recession....a year later they admit we had been in one for almost 2 years.
China is already opening many factories in the US....som in Corpus Christi, North Carolina ad Nevada. Which shows we are weak....we used to open in China for the cheap labor...the tables have turned.
My guess is they are going to use our steady supply of ILLEGAL cheap labor.
Also "RayHEre" makes China out to be complete chaos. I lived in China for 4 years...I traveled all over, what part of China are you making up stories about?....that is probably some crap you read from a cheap novel...NOT TRUE

nicely it would of already got here approximately. the u . s . is in approximately 7 trillion funds of debt and an excellent style of that's to china. Their militia is very knowledgeable, nicely equipped an disciplined. purely as a results of fact they are not on the worlds degree flexing their muscle mass dosent advise that they are not a stress to be reckoned with, economically or militarily.

Soon, the US will so be turned into Mexico 2 and Europe is turning into Eurabia. Multiculturalism doesn't work the Chinese know that and their homogeneous society of high IQ population will be the new dominant power in the future. Japan and Korea will also be part of the new world powers in to future.

If we elect someone who pushes Nuclear,clean coal, natural gas,as well as green and stops the massive spending it will be a long time till China rules.If we keep going like this 5-10 years tops.

Militarily, not until the United States collapses.
Economically, if things continue on their present course, 15, 20 years tops.

The fact that USA is the world's most powerful country is in dispute right now.
