Predicting the future is tough for mere mortals.  I'm going to guess that there will be a 3rd world war and that it will be quick and world ending.  Jury is still out on the whens and hows.

China is a power to reckon with in the future especially that it s booming a an economic power.  Later, it might develop  superior arms and might engage in military adventurism in conquering other countries.

It'll be a major economic power, but not like a power that'll rule the world.  Those days are over.\n\nIf anything, China will be the next superpower.

I think our relationship with China is on even keel....but bordering on adversarial unfortunately.\n\nTheir military build up is on going and for what?  Who are they getting ready to fight?  Probably no one....but we are in debt to the Chinese in the billions of dollars.  Eventually we will have to concede that they are on our tier of dominance.\n\nI agree with a previous poster's analysis in that they will be the superpower on one....it may not be real soon, but it will be one day.\n\nThis is the thing.  Small thing.  All they have do is....drumroll please.........convert to some form of democracy.  That's all.  Nothing major.  They can do that in a few weeks.  \n\nSeriously.....Communism does not work.  And look at what America is trying to do.  Bush was over there wanting China is ease up on religious tolerance....along with a few other things.  But see....we don't really want them to have a democratic system....we want them to have widespread, capitalistic tendency.....democracy-styled freedoms.  There is a massive difference.\n\nWe don't want a mega copy of us.....we are Miller, or Budweiser.  We want them to be Zima.

If you want to see what will happen to the US in 20 years look at what happened to Europe.  20 Years ago they started paying very much higher costs for Gasoline, their businesses started to have to pay out pension funds to retired workers and bankruped many companies doing so.  Today we are faced with many simular situations, rising gasoline costs, aging work force and pensions out of control.  China on the other hand is doing exactly what we did to Europe.  Buying all the oil It can cheaply, out working us, out buying us and out consuming us.  In 20 years we will look like Europe Ecomonically and china will look alot like us today...

What will happen in the future is anyone's guess. My guess is there will be a lot of panic, much like there was back in 1999.

Very soon.\n\nIt has one of the largest economies in the world.  It is ranked fomrwhere between 10th - 4th largest depending on how you measure it.\n\nIt has one of the largest film industires in the world.  This should give it major influence on world culture.\n\nIt also is a free and democratic nation, with respect for human rights and property rights.  This gives it a major edge in the international community when compared with China.\n\nI would say that within the next 20-30 years India will be seen as a major world power, within super power status.

hi... am not much into facts but all i can give u is an overview.\nchina has one of the most skilled labor force in the world, and because of the sheer numbers, chinese labor is cheap.\ndue to the communist govt. everything is still very controlled.which is in a way good till the economy has achieved a safe growth rate. but on the flip side there are arguments that due to the lack of transparency, the facts could not be the best representations of the true picture.\nmore FDI (foreign direct investment) is pouring into China.\nnow that there is a big stress on learning english as a language, things are looking better.\nall in all, China is a very big economic force to reckon with.\nplease feel free to send me ur views as well....

That's a scary thought. I don't fear china, but it would be prudent to treat them with as much respect as possible. I believe it would be very costly in lives.
