Like I said before, China certainly has the population and resources. Allthough I would say several 100 million are below poverty level. The US itself may not dominate the world as much as it has when China tries to assert itself more, wich is fine by me, trying to be all things to all people isn't worth the headache. China can play with that mess for a while.

Though it will more than likely just drop down to 25% of the worlds GNP, wich is what it averaged before WW2. That's still a quarter of the whole, reguardless of what the rest of the world does. It's simply due to demographics, the US is essentially 50 nations in one, with the resources and population to go with it.
