They've got the workforce, technology, space program, weapons, army and economy to take over the world. They're flooding the world's markets wiht their products and now they're pointing to Africa as a future partner. India is in the same path.

Never, people really need to do their research on China, instead of letting the media whip them up into a frenzy. Here are some facts,China's GDP, from their so-called vaunted economy ,is a little over 3 trillion dollars per year, our GDP  is over 12 Trillion dollars per year.We are one-third of the world's economy! We spend 40% of the world's military budget at 504 Billion dollars ayear.70% of the world's military budget if you throw in our Allies. China spends 39 Billion dollars a year on their military, they won't spend 125 Billion dollars on their military until 2025! They just put a man in space, we've been doing it for 40 years. Of the two major triads of war, surface Naval craft and submarines, the Chinese basically have none of the latter, and few of the former. There is a lot of bottled up internal dissension in China, much of it over the one-child policy,and the government taking people's homes and lands to build on.They basically have no tactical nuclear weapons, and ,yes, we'd go nuclear on China. By tactical nuclear weapons I mean cruise missiles and drone and submarine launched and the like.Believe me , if China didn't already know this they would have gone after Taiwan years ago!

right now all the countries care about showing off their powers and not really thinking about what they definitely need to improve on. I'm originally from india and as u have probably heard that india's economy is improving dramatically. Well, if you ask me, it difinitely is improving army bases business but a majority of the poor is still in india.

ITS BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES HAS NOW UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FUTURE BELONGS TO INDIA AND CHINA . THE GROWTH STATISTICS OF INDIA CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ITS ALL SET TO OVERTAKE USA BY 2050 . SO INORDER TO KEEP CHINA UNDER CONTROL U.S NEEDS THE HELP OF INDIA . ALSO NOW THE U.S CANNOT AVOID INDIA . THEY ARE ALREADY IN A VERY GOOD POSITION WITH INDIA'S ECONOMY VERY STRONG AND CRUISING AHEAD FASTER THAN EVER . ALSO INDIA HAS BECOME THE CENTRE FOR MANY INNOVATIONS BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY SKILLED WORK FORCE AVILABLE IN INDIA .\nINDIA ALSO IS A EMERGING AS A STRONG MILITARY POWER WITH ITS 4 TH LARGEST AIRFORCE . 6TH LARGEST NAVY AND 2ND LARGEST ARMY . \n\nINSHORT NOW IT WILL BE FOOLISH IF U.S DOES NOT STAND WITH INDIA .INDIA CAN BE A RELIABLE PARTENER IN U.S WAR AGAINST TERROR .\n\nALSO INDIA ALTHOUGH NOT SIGNED NPT , HAS A VERY GOOD RECORD OF NON PROLIFERATION NUCLEAR TECH. THAT THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED NPT.\n\nBECAUSE OF ALL THESE REASONS U.S WANTS INDIA WITH IT FROM NOW.

India will be one of the top two economies in the world.

It would take a catastrophic event for that to happen. There are too many countries with too many leaders, all of whom would want to rule the world. It is a nice thought, but so is winning the lottery....

ok well Russia is in a decline of democracy (its killing them), India is good but they have too many proverty problems, EU is geting quite strong but they still are too young for any control, China is the answer they have had so many advancs in 20 years and are currenty working on space engineering. I believe the Chinese will be since they already monopolize the industries and trade...It all a matter of time.

Because India has alot of people good at those things. And their technology is really booming with everything else booming too.

It would truly cost more to import it to Africa than it is worth. Think about it. It's like importing ice to Antarctica or a shipping container of BonBon's to Starr Jones' house.

A large part of their success, specially India, is due to outsourcing by the United States.  During the 1980's and 1990's companies spent huge sums of money laying fiber optic cable under the Atlantic Ocean and elsewhere.  They anticipated huge demands for broadband.  The demands never quite materialized, and countries like India took advantage of very cheap international communications to set up call centers to handle a range of services from tech support, to accounting to data storage and tedious programming.  Given their cheaper labor rates, it made sense for American companies to outsource work to them.  They were prepared for all of this because they anticipated it and had trained huge numbers of scientist and engineers in comparison to the U.S. An example of the result of all of this is the fact that in 2005, there were over 245,000 Indians answering phones from all over the world or dialing out to solicit people for credit cards or cell phone bargains or overdue bills! Bangalor is one of the cities that has flourished from this new economy.  The Indians are taking English courses, including accents and regional speech.  Soon, you won't be able to tell that you are talking to an Indian. Right now there is a fast food restaurant in Colorado that is routing drive-up orders to a call center in India that processes the order and sends it back to the kitchen.  This cuts about 15 seconds from the time it takes to drive up to the time you leave with your order!  The 15 seconds translates to big money for the restaurant.

Thank Bush for outsourcing.  You cannot get techical support for anything without getting India and an individual you cannot understand.  I guess that's the NEW "American" way.

yes.. the truth is that china appears to be stable on the surface but is chaotic beneath and india appears to be chaotic on the surface but is stable beneath. infact are growth rate is increasing steadily and with India being one of the it super powers there is a bright future ahead.

They accepted the price of supporting the Soviets in the Cold war.\nBut with globalisation, it just makes sense that the world 2 largest democracies, should move forward in tandem.\n\nThe Cold war era is past. Commercialism makes American products, in demand in India. Technology means Indian savvy, appeals to American firms.\n\nThe rise of China makes sense for these 2 nations to build stronger ties as a buffer.

yes, India can develop - specially now in days that the USA big corporations are sending IT jobs over there.

All of this is typical of a World superpower that has gotten out of control. Simply look at the histories of Greece, Rome/Byzantium, Egypt, Ancient China, etc. What it means is that things are about to come crashing down, and hard.

yes according to the current rate of growth, it is said that CHINA is abt to become the greatest economic power of the world by 2025. india is expected to be 2nd in the list. however it is going to be difficult for CHINA to maintain the top spot for long, as it is expected that the country would face acute labour shortage in the near future. the main reason for this is the population control policy of the country. on the other habd, india has no such policy in action which is being followed. thus the growth advantage of the future iswith INDIA. now to utilise it, the GOVT. of INDIA needs to plan and construst infrastucture on a larger scale.
