Hmm, America may be the greatest military power at the moment, but the best country, come on. You've turned into a society of materialism, where celebrities are worshippped and kids know more about the latest computer game than American history. The standard of American public education is appalling.
It is interesting that China will surpass the US in number of scientists within 20 years, this can only signal the start of the rise of Chinese technical superiority. It might be also of note that the US has become a net consumer and is no longer a net producer. The days when " Made in USA " meant something are long gone.
As for standard of living, America is nowhere near the bets country in the world, that would have to be where I live

China has .0035% of it's population as Millionaires. It's growth is sustained by fragile overvalued currency and trade, as well as competitive labour. It's military is still MUCH weaker than America and it can't even take back Taiwan. Nothing compared to America.

Erm, actually the Yuan is undervalued by 40%. INteresting how almost all major american manufacturers are moving their operations to China. There is nothing weak about their trade, pretty soon america will have bugger all means of production and will have no choice but to buy from China - not that they really have one now. China is the next superpower, that cannot be disputed.
Oh wait, lets not forget CHina is the largets single holder of US Treasury Notes So not only can tehy influence the value of your dollar, you're paying them interest to do so.
LOL about Taiwan - I doubt America could take Taiwan either So a moot comment.
Whats better than being white,rich and republican

The Chinese have been getting plenty of help from the Russians who are cash strapped. The chinese recently purchased the uncompleted Viryag from the Rs and Chinese naval engineers have had it under the microscope. I think the Chinese will complete the carrier and use it as a working, well armed model. They will then start their own carrier program.
They have two Sovremenny DDGS with at least 2 more on the stocks, these vessels carry 8 Sunburn missiles each, 1500 m range , flies at 1700mph and can carry up to 200kt yield nukes and can only be detected 2.5 seconds before impact. The Ch are also looking at putting them on smaller craft.

I wouldn't put too much weight into the Russian navy. After the fall of communism, Russia and America played a "friendly" naval war game. An American submarine armed with nukes came up inside one of Russia's ports. Needless to say this pissed them off. The called it uncalled for, rude, etc... But what it really showed was their capabilities were lacking and now China has adopted it,...oooo, i'm so scared.
