Chinese people are all over the world, Chinese businessmen owns like Malaysia, Thailand, etc etc, the list goes on. They already have a certain level of economic hegenomy.

American companies in the face of bankruptcy is also bought out by Chinese entrepreneurs, who we all know do not have full privatized businesses cause the state has part ownership, meaning large American firms, unknown to the public, are actually Chinese-owned.

An unusually clear-eyed view of China's role in the world. The questioner @ the end is right, though. He never deals w/ the question of exactly what the US's role will be under his predicted coming Chinese hegemony. The answer is probably not pleasant. I imagine it starts w/ us getting used to a dramatically reduced standard of living - esp. if China wants to start cashing the IOUs she's been accumulating from us, & dumping $s & T-bills to trash our currency/economy if we fail to pony up.

I dont see the big deal. Balance of power has shifted from one world giant to the next throughout the history of urbanized agricultural societies. From ancient city-states such as Ur, to the Median Empire, to the rise of Rome and Carthage, to the British colonial empire, and finally the United States of America. The winds of change are blowing and they will continue to blow unless something phenomenal happens. No big deal

China had been the dominant power in most of human "written history", if not globally dominant, certainly the most culturally and technologically advanced civilization up til the 19th-20th century.

China will not just succumb and adopt the Western model completely, it has such a rich culture, which can and has been exported that allows it to become a "true superpower".
