China was a dominant country for roughly 4800 years of human history.

Britain was a dominant country for roughly 700 years of human history.

Spain was a dominant country for roughly 200 years of human history.

US was a dominant country for roughly...70 years.

Where exactly is your confidence coming again?

@holyseraph spain was never dominant: during its era of success, it was a pity in comparison with Ming China, both economically, militarily and so on...Britain was dominant only for 2 centuries... Until 1800 Qing China was the most powerful country on earth

The Americans have been inherited social economic and political culture from Britain and the European as a whole, so I may say that they have had a thousand year of the great modern world civilisation and history ( in my opinion not 200years ). Sadly everything in this planet is bound or is subject to decay by the rule of Newton's gravity- what goes up must come down.

Americans need to get out of this frenzy. It's not like China is gonna destroy you just cause they're as powerful as you are and you can't accept it. I think mericans are just scared.

[TheDualEconomist]

@holyseraph Are you really comparing a country/continent with about 30x the population of other countries?
