The Next Superpower in the World (686)

No I read newspapers, books, I watch the news (non biased news stations), download papers to name a few things. Wiki is far from a reliable source of information and I only comment on subjects I have knowledge of. You and Alberta see any subject on here and you weigh in with stuff you just Googled 2 mins earlier! Sad!

How do you know what I am assuming. I am assuming Alberta is not educated on world affairs as I have seen so many of his posts. He just goes on Wiki to get info on subjects he knows nothing about! He was debating about China and thought their currency was the Yen for goodness sake. Says it all really.

Whats phrases of others would that be? You never add anything to any debate on here because you are very ignorant about world affairs too. Really sad at your age!

How do I know? Your post used plurals, not singular. Moreover, your post implies that you are the only individual educated in such subjects. It is not difficult, based on your post, to arrive at such a conclusion, and if anything, it is a highly probable assessment.

And if you read the posts you will see I mean him and his friend Conrad! I mention them in the plural in lost of posts! Dont tell me what I am thinking or what I am trying to say!!!!

It is far from a probable assessment it is the assessment of someone trying to pick an argument maybe? Or someone trying again to show their intellect is bigger than the rests! You should join their gang seems you can read peoples minds and assumptions!

Gang???? Sounds familiar!

If you understood English you would see that I gave Wiki as a brief and not as proof. I then, when challenged by yourself provided links and quotes from books. You on the other hand supplied nothing except a closed mind. Sorry, but we have enough silly on this forum already and that was nothing special.

Anyhow, outside of Wiki for the most part substanciating everything with links to the originators which you seem to be unaware, it apears that my reading of books, international intelligence briefs, varied media such as Al Jazeera, the New York Post to Le Figaro and Der Speigal as well as sundry other papers and magazines has at the very least enabled me to provide something rather whereas yourself and your comic book antics cannot even produce one quote or link.

Well done my lightweight friend!

Every country in my opinion has potential to be super power,provided there is proper use of resources n man power...there are many small countries like japan which has the best man power in the world,and there are countries in africa which have abundant resources but lack of skilled men!!!

very true!!

The country of sofarsogood seems to have some self proclaimed (yet unproven) intellectuals. On the one hand, if others with any credibility at all can prop up their weak assertions they could be when they rewrite the definitions of this achievement or, they may just wallow in self adulation for a bit prior to imploding as so many before have.

The premise of the survey was: The US is on the decline and which country would be the next superpower. China certainly is the next superpower and onw reason is that America owes China so much money, it would now require more than a hundrfed years for America to pay off that debt. Moreover, even though China has the second largest economy, it is only at the beginning of the climb to the top. It also has a population that views the world in a very different light from Americans.

A second point of course that China is not democartic, capitalistic or christian, in the western notions of those systems. Those facts have begun to raise doubts in the minds of many Americans about their systems.

I read a report last year that puts America 37th in the performance and outcome of its health care system. And even if that ranking is very wrong, the fact that an international organization could rank America below the tenth position is an open indication that America has lost prestige and influence. These are sure signs of global decline.

On last point of importance, it was repoted in 2011, that China, alone, has given or lend more money to the development and other countries than the world bank and the IMF, combined. The amount was in the billions of dollars. America does not have that kind of money to inlfuence the positions of that many world leaders.

Settle down dear. Please don't generalise in future, if you wish to avoid further misunderstandings.

Yet In 2009-2010 they "received" approx 41 million in aid from a minnow
like Australia, more front than Meyer I'd rekon. Also I think you'll find the US still gives more in foreign aid than anyone else,so they obviously do have the cash.

China owes a quarter of what the US does and it's GDP is less than half. With the need for aid and repression of it's people a seemingly unsustainable policy it's still a recipient of aid.

Some Superpower in the making!
