China, emerging superpower.

[howcow95]

Emerging?
They always have been a superpower,
If they were to challenge us militarily alone, We'd crush them.
What we need to be worried about is an alliance of Russia and China, And possibily other countries in the region, Seeing as America has burned alot of bridges over the years.
Economically?
They already are.

They would beat us if they had more advanced technology.
Right now, They have more special forces than we have military, alone?
If they had what we have, They would crush us.

Economically talking, They already crush us because the world relies on
them. Alot of jobs are over sea's, and hardly anything is made in the USA anymore.

Off Topic, Russia is an emerging power. They are using their influx in petrodollars to build up an army. Years from now they may be the second leading supplier in oil, And with the money they make from us and others relying on oil, they will dominate.

This is the DUMBEST batch of people ever. Learn your god dam facts before even throwing stuff like that out. The US has more nukes, not a larger army.

Of course china has population problems and other such, but so does every other country.

And to the moron a few posts above, Russia was NEVER a superpower. It was the USSR. You fail to understand that the USSR included a much larger control with a DIFFERENT government, different borders, etc. That is like saying slovakia is the same as czechoslovakia, that the holy roman empire is the same as germany. USSR was the country that killed 20 million people in purges, the one that built up nukes, etc. The USSR broke up.

Very good points, especially the explanation of the confused idea of Russa being a current superpower.
