Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.

DON'T WE HAVE HYPER POWERS ON THIS PLANET?

I'm so amazed with so many brainwashed Americans. Media in US maintained their goal! Do you people really believe that there is a freedom of speech in USA. You really believe that media in US don't censore the information. Media in USA are under controll of few corporations. USA not China are the world's greatest media censors. But you are told that someone else is. Who knows how many authors in USA are forbidden and their works cannot be even published because it does not comply with US media propaganda against its own citizens let alone the rest of the world. Those works usually can be found only in a hidden departments in some libraries. One comment made me laugh out loud! China is bulling some small country! Really! Well USA is terrorizing the rest of the world in the "name of democracy". Democracy mean the rule of the people. That does not exist. World is ruled by global corporations who present only 1% of total population of our planet. Wake up people!

NO NO NO.It's impossible for every country in this planet to surpass the U.S. as the global superpower in the next 50 years including China.I have been China many many times and I do know what the China really is.I am SURE about that.

There was a time when chinas growth rate was 13% and America's was -7% but that time has passed. China's fell to 9% and ours up to around 2%. I don't know why but china is starting to fall while the US is rising. The Chinese, Russian, Iran, and North Korean governments all want to destroy America and become superpowers. The might of America is enough to crush them all but as a friendly country, the US fights with allies. All of Western Europe, Canada, India, South Africa, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia would come to America's aid if it's ever needed. A smart American president would put 10000% import tax on Chinese goods so companies move to the US instead of china. With 70% of it's exports gone, China would go bankrupt that very day.

You could even say that america won over the soviet not by military but by culture and inluence alone. the soviet were backwards and did not have bright minds even though they were technologically advanced. china is a communist. What kind of influence will china bring to other nations? communism, maoism? u must be shittin, china has no cultural influence, no one wants to adopt their culture or lifestyle they invented nothing on culture they worship the western culture. china only wants to do bussines with member states. Thats what they were born to do.

AGREED

The united states entered the industrial age and the economy rapidly improved a century ago and became a superpower. Its not only because of this but of old fasion rivalry between the communist soviet and western democracy. because of the cold war technology has rapidly increased in both sides. gps, internet all came from cold war era technologies. to be honest i prefer democracy than communism. people should have the freedom to be believe what they want or how to live their lives. nobody should dictate how they should live. the downfall of the soviet came because it was culturally inferior than western nations. You could even say that america won over the soviet not by military but by culture and inluence alone. the soviet were backwards and did not have bright minds even though they were technologically advanced. china is a communist. What kind of influence will china bring to other nations? communism, maoism? u must be shittin, china has no cultural influence, no one wants to adopt their culture or lifestyle they invented nothing on culture they worship the western culture. china only wants to do bussines with member states.

the chinese government does not represent we chinese people. you can say the chinese government shitty-like because lots of chinese people think that way, too. we chinese people want freedom and we hate what the government has done to us. speaking of the communism, say whatever you want but behaving nice when talk about chinese.
ridiculous, you can't represent all chinese people. If you live in china right now.you will know our chinese, will defend our country forever. a petriotism exist among young people. the government is not perfect but We will still support our govenment if we are in danger. we chinese have no interest to rule the world.But we pledge to fight to the death in defending our country,China. Ha ha , acturally you are a american dog!!not a chinese!!!
