Unlikely, because as these two countries become more industrialized the growing strain on workd esources will snap and send us into a nasty depression. \n\n  The price of steel is astronomical right now, making it difficult on the oil companies, pushing up the price of oil. With all of the new construction in India and China, what other possible outcome is there? Perhaps a world war to stay off global starvation?

According to analysts, China will overtake the US around 2020. India will follow. Brazil will wake up one day. And if Europeans are clever, they will keep getting together, in order to have more "weight" in the world issues...

to put it in a nutshell, it is projected that china, in 30-50 years, in our lifetime, WIL be (quite likely along with india), the word's superpower... taking america's place

China has had double digit GDP growth for the past 20 years (in comparison, developed countries have GD growth of about 2.5 - 3.5 %. India is growing at a very fast pace as well, with its continued dominance in IT. However, China gets approximately 10 times the amount of foreign investment as compared to India. \n\nThere is no doubt that these countries are growing: the question is whether these countries are stable politically in the long term.

Agree it'll be China - the population pressures, increasing demand for other goods, a developing financial market structure, booming industry all point to economic expansion. Sheer size indicates its importance as a market and the hegemony it will project.\n\nAustralia just doesn't have the market mover potential, nor the military, nor the power projection.\n\nAnother possibility is the EU, once they cope with the unemployment, immigration and inflationary pressures.\n\nIt is entirely possible there will be no superpower for a while.

Obviously it depends on the policies followed by the government to generate growth.  However - in 1905 China was responsible for 24% of the world's GDP, 30 years ago they were responsible for 4% & they are now growing fast enough to overtake the US and become the world's largest economy by 2030.  Massive changes in wealth can take place over a few decades.  In the case of Ethiopia a conservative estimate might be 50 years to generate enough growth for their standard of living to match the United States.

yes true India is really developing fast and i think not by 2020 but 2030 its going to be the superpower...Now they are almost good in warfare and nuclear but it seems it will grow very quickly economically and all arab nations will support it.

America and England have some of the best universities and research institutes in the world. Another choice is India.

The rise of China and India is without question. These two countries, with their enormous populations and embrace of market economies, will challenge the United States as economic superpowers. Europe, with its aging populations and lack-luster economies will fall further behind. The United States will remain a dominant economic and military superpower, and will likely remain a major player in diplomatic negotiations, disaster relief, and regional conflicts.

Of course not. China has. It has 1.3 Billion people to date. Second is India with about 1 Billion people to date.

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.

Short answer, no.  China is certainly making gains though, but nobody else is really close.  Canada probably could if they wanted to--but they seem content.  The UK isn't there either, but they're at least in the same ballpark.\n\nYou'll read a lot about manufacturing and customer service jobs being sent overseas.  While that may take away jobs from the US, and may be a bad thing, most of the very high paying jobs are still in the US.  Plus, like the last guy said, we still have the largest Army and Navy.  Most of the best universities in the world are in the US.  Therefore, most of the newest inventions and innovations (hybrid cars being further developed, hydrogen for energy, etc) are taking place here.\n\nDon't worry about it ;)
