China seems to be growing quickly economically, but it is also starting to show signs of overheating. in the coming year, China may face a sharp economic slowdown..and the avian flu will more or less effect China economically too... China as an economic superpower? Maybe..but it will take alotta time and may not even happen in my lifetime...
i dont think so... only because the jobs there doing now are the jobs that most countries already at the top dont want to do for so little money, when china becomes one of the top players in this global economy the workers, shoulllldddd want beter jobs, higher pay, less hours, so forth and so forth meaning those jobs will eventually dissapate and the very thing causen the rise will lead them to start to fall again. i dont think back down to previous years but not as high as i think some people say. i do think they will be a big player though just not the top 2.
economic-wise,china can do well in this area but china never been that good in health situations. Geez..
china has about 370 million people outta their 1.4 billion who could purchase things thats same amount as the U.S economy, lookin good.
Well, it depends. China's increasing economic and political clout should put it in overall 2nd to the U.S. In just a few decades, it should eclipse the U.S.
sure i think china has the potiental to be the next superpower. all china needs is a boost of their economy and anything is possible.
Belive me not half as scary as Capitalism is- just ask the Iraqis, serbs and other victim of the tryannical capitalist facists of USA... besides who says China is communist? i think today they are so far removed from the ideologies of Chairman Mao or Lenin. China will be a superpower. Its economy is destined top overtake the USA's USA is already an empire indecline in terms of economic power, relying on its artifically infalted petro-$. The no 1 threat to USA's hegemony is the PRC. Thje US recognizes this, so thats why it is actively trying to surround it and curtial its influence in the region and ensure it controls the worlds most important mineral supplies. Howveer the wall street lot recognize also China's importamnce in terms of cheap manufacturing and potential market and want a share of the cake. So the US has to balance both keeping China sweet (espeically coonsidering the $billion's of US debt China holds,(China could send US into depression by simply requesting its IOU's to be paid)) and its agressive posture towards China. Military ity will take many many many years for China even to match USA. Currently China has no desire to enter into an armns race with USA. It will not make the same msitakes as the USSR. China is not, unlike the USA imperialistic it has no desire to go unilateral and invade other nations. On the contray it wants to work multilaterally with many partners. It military emphasis is on Defence, wheras US is on Offense. China aims to be storn enough to disuade any nation including USA from attacking it on home soil.
China says it practices "socialism with chinese characteristics" which means they can be socialist but still have one of the biggest bureaucracies around =p I agree that as china becomes bigger the workers are going to start wanting better wages and such, but china isn't a democaratic country (they say they have no capitalist characteristics) so i don't know how they'll be dealing protests and strikes, which are unlikely to me because thats not a common thing for chinese. China has a long way to go before it's on level with USA, japan, india, ect. and they're pushing as fast as they can, but are breaking all the rules (human rights abuses, no pollution control, breaking trade agreements, bad relationship with neighbours) is doing so. growth this fast is unnatural and i think the side effects will show more and more as china grows.
