The best era was shifted to Asia in the recent years, I believe. Especially China. China became the world manufacturer. Its export volume was dramatically increased over the last 10 years. It has space program, and it has elite intelligence in comparison to USA. Would China become the next superpower in comparison to USA?

China has been developing very quickly in the past thirty years and has become a great nation, but don't forget he still face a lot of domestic problems, some of which are very serious. If China could not handle these problems properly, it would face a crisis. So in positively speaking, China could become a superpower in East Asia and play an important role in international affairs, but will be unable to replace the position of US.

Sorry, I am a Chinese but I don't think so. There is still a long long way for China to go. The living conditions in China can't be compared to those in the western countries at all. Most Chinese who have been abroad try every way to get the permanent resident permit in western countries and don't want to live in their own country.

Well, China is already very powerful and very helpful in some ways. Well, if you watch or read news about them, sometimes they are the cause of something bad. Hahahaha. Well, I don't know, maybe they are just rumours. For me, in the next 10 years they will be equal with USA and Japan who are superpower countries
