China: An emerging super power?

I keep hearing that China is going to become so very powerful and soon.

I honestly don't think China will be a super power soon, they have too many internal problems (rift between rich and poor, corruption, enviornment, various social issues, etc...)

Is it just people talking about things they don't really know anything about or is there some truth to this?  Thoughts?

I get the impression you have some self-asteem issues. Kudos on all those poor chinese not taking shit from their government, but it doesn't mean they are superior and their achievements do not reflect on you just because you share their culture. When the Chinese are as rich as us they will be just as decadent.

Of course if you have any personal achievements then that means you as an individual do indeed have more merits, of course whether you do have 4 medals or not I don't know, but I know you know, so if you do have 4 medals, congrats, if not then you obviously have self-asteem issues and should probably see a therapist or get laid or something.
