China is far away from the U.S. in terms of military tech. In terms of global influence, I personally would like China to be stronger in that lane so the U.S. could invest more domestically. Economically China needs the US to buy the shyt they make.

You haven't been watching the news alternative news the last year clearly...... have you heard of the Asian Development Bank or BRICs

Countries are leaving the U.S. dollar in favor of the Yuan and other currencies....that's not good for the U.S., cause U.S. dollars will flood back into the U.S. causing inflation and other economic problems.

I attended a lecture at Claremont from a guy who specialized in this field. According to him it's more appropriate to look at the US/EU as an bloc and China/Russia as a bloc.

The West's influence is on the downturn and the East is rising. So where the two parties meet is supposed to be around 2040 according to his model. At that time the GDP per capita will converge. Now the big questions will be how South America and Africa will figure into this. So far the east seems to be focusing on influence in Africa more than we are. I don't know enough about SA to say which way they'd swing.

So how that translation will work is a worry. No one likes to lose that top spot.

U.S numbers are inflated too.

Anyways, the biggest economy in the world is China, so I guess economically they're the superpower, however this is a new era where economic and military might won't be hand in hand, first time in history, so we have to be more specific. Do you mean influential globally? They are equal, China takes a more hands off approach, whereas America uses might (see link below on why). Militarily, America is the superpower, China is the financial superpower. China can punish America financially, it's the only country in the world that can do so, but America can't flex on China militarily. It would be a nuclear holocaust. Nuclear countries can't fight each other. They can only use chess moves using money. Like what America is doing to Russia. China is different because it manufactures everything for the entire world, you just can't do shyt to them, they'll block everything made in your house from entering your country LOL. You ever notice western countries bark at them, but they don't actually do anything. You will never see sanction going in China's direction, not like the ones done to Russia, its literally impossible.

If you want to know how China will conduct its newfound superpower status, check out this speech.

The way he shyts on cacs :wow:

ps. The chinese will never have a high GDP, because the whole idea is to make money by producing extremely cheap goods, they're approaching economics in a totally new way which confuses a lot of westerners. Its just now that American Economists are realizing this and wanting them to make the Yuan stronger, problem with that is, it will make all of your goods more expensive, and that would make folks all over the world pissed off. Its was a very very clever chess move on their part, but meh, I guess asians really are good at math. :manny:

That's what I'm staying American News aren't going to admit this because of nationalism. Even Europe joined the Chinese Banking sector
