How long will America remain the only world superpower?

No, I asked a similar question to this one today. China has been predicted to take over the world leadership role that the USA has due to Bush's foreign affairs failures.

We saw this just today with China's move to handle diplomatic issues with N.Korea.

I think this is the first step toward China assuming the new world leadership role.

It is inevitable that China joins us as a world superpower. They have been positioning themselves, as you say, economically, and I expect it to happen within the next 5-10 years. As far as the most powerful force, what do you mean? Will we have the most powerful military? Obsolutely!!!

While the USA-governors still killing inocent people on the rest of the world, USA will remain the only world superpower. Guaranteed.
That's the method used in the present time, and it works.

Until another major war, but it could happen if we keep fighting dumbass wars and letting immigrants in because that means the population thus unemployment rate will rise, I m scared

Unless China implodes, it will be the next super power in the next ten years.

America will no longer be the worlds only superpower not because others are going to join it but because superpowers are a dieing breed. With global relations, the fates of other countries are tied too closly to identify one as "super" eventually however we will form a superplanet.

Superplanet GO!!

Not Long Now. I say when we cannot manufacture toth paste, we will no longer be a Super-power

China also buys all our debt. It's only a matter of time, but I think it's better that way. You can't keep a super power in check if you don't have power yourself. Who knows, maybe it will be for the best. I don't think we'll have to wait long to find out.

No. I really think that the US slide began when our oil production peaked in the early 1970s. Lucky for us, the USSR was in worse shape and we simply had more money to spend. American hegemony is on the decline (as is our culture in general). Nations like China and India will far suprass us. Just look at the economic data that shows which countries are actually producing goods of significant value for export . . .

Well... Dictator Bush... just backed down from that Korea dictator, is that soon enough.

HHH

Not long with China getting stonger everyday

Absolutly not. America, as powerful as it is, still has competition. China is indeed going to grow and expand in world power. It will take years but its going to happen. We need not kid ourselves with an arrogent attitude most Americans believe in.

Your completely correct, it'll most likely happen in our lifetime.

However, I don't believe it will effect much. Trade will remain the same, international tension will remain the same, diplomacy will remain the same. I doubt much would change because of China's dominance.

The answer to that question is unsure as for we truly don't know what other sountries are doing at all times. Sure, we can monitor some activity in other countries, but we can't monitor it all. Who's to say that China isn't working on nukes, or former USSR for that matter?? N Korea is starting their process of defense as well.

We will continue to remain a superpower, but we may have to share that title with others in the near future.

forever!
