What do you mean, America is and always has been a socio-economic disaster since the 20s.

Maybe the U.S. should stop sending money and aid around the world and then will see who the real super power is ! We donate more money , work more hours, and take fewer vacations then all other countries. Maybe us greedy americans should cut off the world and let you starve. As far as china goes they aren't shit without us , and they know it. Fuck Socialism, Marxism, and fuck Communism. USA FOREVER !!! know it

When did USA last send money to another country without expecting to get them back? USA can't "cut off" anything. USA hardly has any resources the world around can't collect. There has also been a superpower before USA, when you think about it. I would call the Roman Empire pretty supreme in their time, in every way. China claims to be a communist state, but their politics indicate otherwise. They don't share their wealth. If you see a thematic map of the poverty of China, you will see most poor Chinese live in the western part of the country, while the growth on the east coast is huge.

Also, marxism, communism and socialism are the same. The primitive forms of them, that is.

I wouldn't go that far.

Maybe India, China too. Qatar is a tad too small.

Thre are atm 3 superpowers : USA, EMU (European monetary union) and Japan.

All the 3 super economics got the world highest public welfare level.

USA
Well the US is after serious problems. There is a big need to invest into industrial technologies - USA is the only one country (of the G20) who was not able to accept the Kyoto protocol cuz of that. But USA got a realy big export (The USA export feeds the EU supply) and also the worlds bigest manpower productivity (cuz of a big education level).

Japan
Japan got the best technology applicated in the industry. Also the agriculture is supported by the developing countries. Japan got the bigest average "work hours" per person per year. In average every adult person in Japan works 2100 hours per year (in USA its only 1900 and EMU 1850). Also the car industry started to grow faster and faster (1 of the factors that killed US General Motors). But the economic growth boost was stoped by the realpropety crisis..

EMU
Yea the 16 countries of the 27 countries of EU. 1 currency and 1 central bank and internal stability of the countries created the 3rd world superpower EMU, with the bigest population and bigest GNP of the 3 big ones.
hmm there is 1 problem,
If 1 country makes troublesevery of the other 15 countrys will eat that sht..
Many countryes got big problems with the public debt (Greece, Italy, Ireland) and that is a break for the economy growth. Also there is still a language barrier and huge differences between the countries.


About China.

Yea China got the bigest population,and also one of the bigest exports. But the education level is extreme low - only 25% of the population (age 30yrs+) got a hischool graduation. For example at EMU, more than 30% of the population (age 30yrs+) got a College/University diplom.

Also Chinas political system is a big minus to the public welfare level.


Which Country will Succeed the US as the next Superpower?

All the 3 superpowers - USA Japan and EMU will stay as superpowers.
Maybe EMU will gain the leadership after 10-15 years,for the next 50 years.

China needs a revolution,and the revolution will come - from the outside (will be forced by other countries and organisations) or inside (rebels, population).


sorry for my grammar its 1:02 a.m. here

.edit

hahhaa omg u guys are so clue less

GERMANY
it was almost super power before it will try to be one again... look who has the best economy right now.... look who's at the head of europe, look who has had a history of this kinda thing before... GERMANY will do it google it.... maybe i'm wrong but i doubt it.

also shutup with your damned china.... theyre totally dependent on the u.s.... when it crashes they will too.... but they'll get up with russia and they'll go against germany....

i dunno about india.

Well because they sell all their cheap and low quality stuff to the U.S.

In my serious opinion, there will be a super country in a few hundred years. UCE or something United Countries of Earth. I'm being serious too, I'm almost 100% certain that this is going to happen.
