OMG..... seriously... I forgot the name of my account and I reactivate just so I could reply to your utter stupidity. Firstly, there is no need to be racist here and say the world belongs to 'Whiteman'... the world belongs to everyone. No one allows China to be a leading power... lol you obviously have no clue as to what is going on today in international politics. Alot of governments are accommodating Beijing, why wouldn’t they? The economic gains are too good to miss. Australia and US can double their population easily???? Australia 150 million people...... BAHAHAHAHAHA... I live in Australia and we have what is called an 'aging population'. 150 million is far from dreams - that’s how wrong you are. Our population is 23 million~ish. Seriously.. do some research before you make comments of that nature.I doubt China will be leading superpower. Maybe is huge, but the world belongs to white man; all americas, europe and part of the asia. No one allows Chinese to be a leading superpower. USA can(and will) double its population with no problem. Australia can reach over 150mln with no problem.
China has huge population, but it's overcrowded now when especially both americas and australia have a great potencial to increase population
Unfortunatelly even people in Africa speak english or french not chinese!
Chinese would be leading power if you restarted your Civilization game and ruled the world before the white man did, in order that people in both americas looked chinese.
English speaking India will be more and more powerful.
Biggest companies comes from USA or EU, thanks to Chinese boom they will become more and more powerful bringing more and more money to USA and EU.
The most important thing: China needs oil who is in the USA and UE hand and nothing will change in that matter.
It was said that Japan will be a competitor to USA, and what is now? Even "tiny" UK develops more quickly than Japan now.
But this was not my intention. I'd like to say that i'm very impressed seeing chinese developing so fast. But you must now the fact that in democratic countries goverment can loose the authority very fast if he doesn't care about interes of specified social group. Do you think that poor people in west and middle China wouldn't stop to fund the new infrastructure in the eastern cities,by their cost, if they only could? In democracy goverment that want to keep the power would have to care about electorate from poorer areas and it'd slow the progress like you have now.
About people speaking Chinese... take a look and find out which language is most widely spoken... Mandarin is up there and actually, just so you can learn something more, Chinese firms are actually participating in the establishment of mining industry in Africa because China needs resources.. so actually their investing a bit in Africa - and that means more and more Africans will need to learn Chinese ( in the long run, not atm).
About India... yes India has potential - but it needs far more work than China. India needs major infrastructure to be developed... most parts of India don’t even have a sewage system.
As far as the battle of Oil... well that’s a little hard to say, but oil wont be that important in the future... fuel cell cars will be the thing, but anyway, Russia has huge amounts of resources that China is happy to pay for. The Chinese government is smart enough to work out the oil issue.
lol @ the comment about Japan. Japan is still competing with USA. Japan is still one of the biggest economies in the world. Japan has issues that it needs to fix, but the whole tiny UK thing... please do some research - UK is not tiny...
In the future don’t make such stupid and knowledge lacking comments.
Out of interest are you a white supremacist?
