I believe it would be Eastern Asia because the time change there is 12 hrs different from us - a full rev.

Many are developing quickly...the  United Arab Emirates for example (of which Dubai is a member)...They are the ones that wanted to take over our 6 of our most important ports. This caused quite a uproar a few weeks ago.  \n\nDubai is building two man-made islands which can be seen from outer space...one is in the shape of an huge palm tree...the other I think is the globe (but I'm not sure because it was on a show I viewed a couple of months ago). The palm tree island is designed so that everthing is waterfront (ergo, very exspensive) property. Of course Trump is involved, which is why he didn't agree with the protests over the U.S. Ports. And Dubai powers that be withdrew their offer, which helped Bush save face....well actually it was too late for that!\n\nMany of the eastern Asian countries are really developing rapidly, and, in fact, are way ahead of us in tecnology.\n\nBUT, CHINA is going to very soon be THE #1 superpower. This WILL be their century. They have always had the population, but now they have really gotten their act together in the world market.\n\nWe blinked!

China has the fastest growing economy in the world. India probably second. The USA economy is stable and businesses here do business with China because the labor is cheaper. There are other countries, however, who are trying to woo China to buy airplanes, trains, and other goods from them. Same in the USA, we are trying to sell China airplanes, trains, and any other product they might want to buy.

The big in Asia are, presently, Japan and China.  Indonesia has a great potential  and an honesty of purpose.. but no 'greatness' yet in Economy. Growing well.  Best wishes.

Asia and Europe apparently make a lot, too, especially Denmark.

Definitely the more advanced industrialized countries--North America, Europe, Australia.

China, followed by India. 3rd place according to my estimates, should be Indonesia followed by the US.

i think that would have a lot to do with diet and exercise. when i have traveled to asia,middle east, and african countries, i have a much better diet, and walk a whole lot more than i do when i am in the usa. most things i eat when i am abroad are cooked at home, and bought from the local market fresh each day. we walk to the market to get our goods, and most everywhere else. healthier lifestyle!

Asia is a continent, comprised of many countries. Some of those are in the U.N. and others aren't.

I think your talking about trade deficit.  It grows higher each year because outside countries can sell cheaper here and the other countries economy, like China, have a fixed value for their currency which is undervalued like 40%.\n\nThe USA doesn't force fairness for the cheaper products.  And don't forget - America is for sale.  We are selling ourselves to outside countries.

Yeah Japan and S. Korea are it. Other than that, the other countries are 2nd class.

China is has the fastest growing economy at the moment and producing the majority of the world's imports! (although there are human rights issues but no one seems to care....)

It's happening right now before your eyes. The USA is becoming marginalized just like Europe and most recently England. It will be drastically apparent in about 20 years, as China begins to approach the US economy in overall size (GDP).\n\nIt is interesting to see that some Americans are starting to sense something historical is happening. Historians of the future 100 years from now, will look back at the early 1990's when China first started taking off. Yes, it has been happening for that long, but 99% of Americans just didn't pay attention, now there is no stopping China and India from becoming the center of the world for what probably will be for the rest of the existence of humanity.

European nations began that long before the U.S. was even created. The U.S. did so because they ran out of frontier and wanted to expand outward, both in the Pacific and the Caribbean. It may have also been due to international competition, or at least that's my opinion.

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...
