One morning last year, I woke up, turned on the TV, suddenly some images of China triggered out a question in my mind: "Can China become the world most superpower ?". So, since then, I've been finding the answer, here are something I found:
There are always a superpower and challenger - the two poles situation. And I think China will be equal to US in term of economy one day, but it has inherent disadvantages that I believe they will just be challenger.
1. In term of geography: the only two global empires was offshore balancers: US and British. Why's that? Because they don't have to bother protecting their border from invasion. So they have the advantage to develop their navy and air force.
Moreover, China creates many potential enemies around them when it comes to war: Russia, Korea, Japan, Vietnam,...although inside their realm (Tibet). So it's also difficult for them to deal with.
Lastly, US and Japan's army station relative close to China: in Philippines, Japan, Korea...etc. But China can't do that to US.
2. In term of China itself: China was a dominant power in East Asia for thousand years but they didn't have technological advanced the West, especially US. Even right now, though Chinese edu sys has improved a lot but it still takes time to reach the level of the West.
Second, China has its serious demographic problems: horny China, stolen children, especially sexually imbalanced. So there are a lot of men no wives, sexually frustrated, the society its self does not have the stability needed.
Furthermore, China has the disadvantage over their language. Chinese people take 60% world pop but their language is not the most used. Why? It's so complicated. If you want to conquer and dominate, at least you must give order. How Chinese can give order if people just have no ideal what they're talking.
Finally, China has many people living under poverty. Of course the situation is becoming better years by years but according to the UN's report, it will takes at least 50 years for China to solve this problem. However, till this, the rich gap is becoming bigger and bigger dramatically and much faster than the poverty-alleviation progress. It seems war will not take place easily with those number of poor and rich. And without their biggest advantages - human flesh - how will they manage to win the US with far advanced technology.
Is it fair enough?
