Will china overcome the U.S.A. for top country in the next generation?

Question

People say that china is next in line for the top of the world. Do you really think so? My opinion is that, yes, but only if our economy keeps going the way it is.

Answer 1

Right now the USA is till the most 'powerful' country, though China has a much larger standing army. But TOP country? No, the US hasn't been the best country in the world to live for at least two decades.

Answer 2

I haven't seen the Dibiase boys, but I like Cody Rhodes' potential. He's already got the gifts to be one of the great in-ring competitors of his time. He just needs some more time to mature and figure out his personality. I think if he can be half as good on the mic as Dusty is, there should be nothing stopping him from being a multi-time World champion. I don't like DH Smith. He has way too much of a baby face. I don't think he has the personality to make it. I saw him selling in that Cena/Orton vs. Raw match a few weeks ago, and he had some of the worst pained facial expressions I have ever seen. He oversold it too much. Of the ones I have seen, Cody Rhodes looks like he has unlimited potential. I think DH Smith will be at best a midcarder, Teddy Hart will never amount to anything because of his attitude, and I'll have to wait and see any other potential 2nd and 3rd generation wrestlers before I form an opinion on them.

Answer 3

China has shown extraordinary patience for generations. Now, thanks to the Bush family's insipid "deals" with the Chinese government over the past forty or fifty years, China is in an enviable position:
The U.S.A. is China's largest creditor. American taxpayers, thanks to the Bush administration's stupid immoral 'war' in Iraq, are now TRILLIONS of dollars in debt to China.
As America's sloth, gluttony, arrogance and corruption worsens, America's debt to China will come to a point where China will cut out our 'credit cards'. Then, the U.S.A. will find itself in the same position Russia is in today: there will be no money with which to finance a military. There will be no money with which to manage a government. At that time, perhaps be the year 2050, China will simply send its multi-million-man military over to our shores and TAKE whatever it wants: military hardware;
banks; real estate; natural resources; water; weapons of mass destruction - even our women if there's a strong demand for western females in the sex-slave trade. China will then become the world's superpower overnight, and the U.S. will become replicas of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, where there is a handful of the very, very rich and - the rest of us - the very, very poor.
For too many generations, the U.S. has continued to represent only 5% of the global population while squandering 55% of the world's resources. Our lust for power, unabated greed and appalling hubris will lead us down the path to destruction, just as it did the great Greek and Roman empires.
Our economy is only part of the problem: it's our national decline of patriotism, human decency, respect, morality, and common sense that will also serve to destroy our society. -RKO- 08/08/08

Answer 4

No

Are Iraqi shi'ites fighting US troops w/ Chinese-made weapons sold to Iran, is China laughing at us & making $
Question Details: What can be done to stop the murder of us troops with Chinese weapons. China smiles with fists full of our dollars while Americans die from Chinese weapons, defective merchandise, and disgusting, poisonous food. What/who should we really be fighting?

Here's one thing: Boycott Chinese products
Boycott the Chinese Olympics.

Answer 5

And let me guess, we'll be lucky enough to have a left wing liberal in office to turn the other cheek and let the chinamen march right in instead of protecting the entire thing from happening.

Yes, luckily I will be dead by then and I had nothing to do with it (Military/Conservative). Good luck to you youngsters and your children, should be fun!
