Gone are the day of super powers. Now it is a world of one hand washes the other. Some will say the US is the greatest but the truth is we all kind of need each other so where is the real power in that. It is with negotiations and peace. Think we will see that anytime soon?

Very good thought, but the sled "team" will always need a lead dog.......

leigh2154: Yep Conrad.....and in considering a superpower, you must include military....out one a limb here maybe...but truth, I don't see it happening at all.........And what did happen to the" innovative spirit" in China?.....lost to greed perhaps????
Possession of high technology is an important indication of technological advancement. Chinese scientists and engineers have mastered the technologies of atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb, nuclear power generation and radiation. Now China can launch long-range carrier rockets, satellites for different purposes and even master the technology of launching the spaceship. China has developed high-performance parallel computers like Dawning-1 and Dawning-1000, and developed the Chinese character data processing system, intelligent Chinese character interface and high-density information storing equipment. China also made substantial progress in the quanta calculation and quanta communications.
As far as the laser technology is concerned, China has developed the high power laser devices like Shenguang, free electron laser device, 1.35-micron semiconductor laser device and so on. What's more, China has possessed the power of communication technology through high-speed optic fiber. The twoion beam epitaxy machine, 3-micron integrated circuit technique, nuclear industrial robot, six-dimensional robot, wall-climbing robot and deep-water robot that can work 6,000 meters under the water show that China has made great achievements in creation of precision instruments.
In terms of biological technology, the nitrogen fixation of corn and soybean, genetically engineered vaccines, tube baby and tube sheep, cloning of some animals are just a few examples of China's outstanding achievements. In the material technology, the country has made satisfactory achievements in high-performance solid propellant, high temperature superconductor, nonlinear crystal and laser crystal, etc.
In the field of technological sciences, China has achieved a variety of influential theoretical achievements, such as the cold pressure equation, the dynamic gear error theory and the optimized control of nonlinear systems.
In term of engineering, the most obvious progress was with the capacity of manufacturing large-scale equipment. China manufactured 125,000 kw inner water-cooled turbo electric generating network, 175,000 kw low waterhead electrici generating set, carbamide production facility with an annual output capacity of 240,000 tons, ammonia synthesis equipment with output capacity of 300,000 tons.

leigh2154: I agree with Venus, you left out India.....US, China, India....US is "currently" the # 1 superpower but China is rising while US is falling...If you are talking military and economic and right now, it is US.....And, even if China becomes the # 1 superpower, can they hold it?...IMO no, they face some internal problems which the US does not...and, think about this, China "borrows" (steals) ideas from US...if you have to steal innovation rather than innovate what does that tell you?.......JMO
This crucial difference between invention and innovation was borne in on me on my return to England in 1957. As a young science reporter, I visited the government-funded National Physical Laboratory at Teddington, and they showed where their senior researcher Robert Watson Watt had in 1935 invented the radar system that was to help the Royal Air Force win the battle of Britain. His former colleagues remarked with chagrin on how swiftly this British invention had been taken up and exploited in the United States after 1939, laying the foundation for the great electronics industry. It was the same story with antibiotics, following Alexander Fleming's 1928 discovery of penicillin; with Maurice Wilkes's pioneering efforts in developing the first commercial application of the computer at the offices of J. Lyons and Company in 1951 and with the jet engine. All of these British inventions were superseded by the innovative energies of America.

Really, that funny Tom?...Maybe I am the wrong gender....... Think Japan for a moment...

Well, right now and according to topic, China steals for the US.....

Funny? what do you mean, did you read my post, ir's in answer to one of yours, is that all the response you have to it, it directly nails your post as frivilous.

China is innovative, but is it inventive? What I don't see from China's rise is the contribution of new ideas and designs that have fundamentally changed the world, like the internet, computers, trains, planes, or cars. Why hasn't China, given its ascension, created their equivalent of the car?
I caught it first!! But you knew what I meant anyway..... Never made a typo Tom? I don't point them out when others do it...it seems to come off as rude and kind of petty, in my view of course....
