keep this in mind that chinese government does not have to answer their people or parliament about the decision they take and also dont have to worry about the environment and other social issue. is this a sign of organic or sustainable growth?

"Democracy is not a necessity for being a super power. Recall that the Soviet Union was a Socialist republic and very much not a Democracy. "
Actually, I would say that democracy creates a weak government that is not capable of becoming THE superpower like China is becoming. Theoretically a totalitarian regime, with a socialist economy is the perfect country however that much power always corrupts people and governments always seem to fail at maintaining socialist economies so there never will be a country like that. China is the closest, I guess, even though it's not very close at all.

China is going through a massive technological and industrial revolution which is creating a very strong economy. And yes they don't have environmental initiatives in place and social issues are not a concern so they can certainly afford to build a strong military power and buy of a pile of US debt.
The growth is not sustainable, there will reach a plateau wherein there will not be enough resource available to further fuel the growth, however by that time China will be a very dominant nation.

China IS a super power. Matter of fact they OWN us. They hold more paper than any other country including Saudi-Arabia! It is not to their interest yet to call it, but if they do it will be "Forget the Alamo" time. We just cannot pay 100billion a year for Iraq and 50 billion a year on tax cuts for the super rich and borrow the money to do it. We are close to bankruptcy, and this is where the neoconservatives want us, to control the masses.

I disagree with a lot of Chinese policies, but they have played it smart recently in getting their foot in the superpower door. They have been heavily investing in areas like Central America, South America, and Africa - areas that the United States has long ignored or taken advantage of. If China helps these countries to develop, that will help make them an even stronger world force than they already are.

China is, for all intents and purposes, a super power. They've got the largest population and largest military in the world, their economy is booming, and they're set for near limitless growth.
Democracy is not a necessity for being a super power. Recall that the Soviet Union was a Socialist republic and very much not a Democracy.

What is your definition of a super power? The cite is a Wikipedia article with a potential definition. Quite honestly, I thought China was a Superpower. That being said, I'd say that within twenty years, they will be.
