Finished reading Martin Jacques book When China Rules the World. There are problems with this upcoming scenario. Many things can change. China, because of the one child per family policy has 119 men for every 100 women. Unless as one book put it, they are going to become like Ancient Sparta, they are in for a rough ride. Many very angry young men. Bad combination.
If his premise comes true, it will not matter. If not dead, I will be too elderly to care. That is for the next post. My nursing home, when China rules the world.
China was dominant for most of the worlds history until the Industrial Revolution. People predicted in the '80's, Japan would ruin the United States. Now what? Yesterday's prediction can go askew. The most accurate predictions I have every seen were from General Sir John Hackett's book The Third World War. So far, much of what he predicted has happened.
