Okay, so is it safe to assume that you are implying that the United States has achieved Hyperpower state?

Or is projected to do so by the time China becomes Superpower?


I'll note, a thriving and resilient economy is only one of several requirements to obtain superpower status.

Some people say the US, is a hyper power others just leave it at superpower depends on how you see it. But I can believe both options. Now with China, I do believe its inevitable it will become a superpower. While it lacks a mass media culture like the US that should not be a deterrent to its impending status considering it has a deeper historical culture. Science and technology is something it has potential to do amazing in considering the fact that educational standards in the US is falling and less students are going in that field. Economy and military is something it has. Looking at all of these yes China will be a superpower, can the US hold on to its status in the future? Only if it cleans up its act.

Slay that fat hoe!

China can't obtain hegemony over it's own region let alone the rest of the world. The fact that people are even considering that Japan, a small island country with limited resources (that reached a similar near-superpower state to China's back in 1990, by the way) should "regulate" China in any fashion is a testimony to this. Even North Korea is in a better position for hegemonic rule over the eastern hemisphere than China. Japan, is in the best position.

The United States still houses the mass majority of the world's best schools and we can guarantee, because of the way this socioeconomic game was created in the first place, that this will not change any time soon. The only thing that China has control of in that arena are their methods of catching-up. Even that will only speed up their rate of adapting to new changes exponentially, but see— there's this thing called Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox. They'll never really get there playing that way.

The powers that be will continue to move numbers around and use the media to jade the masses about the Chinese government's economic success, but the winners of this game were permeated way back in 1782 when they designed it.

I knew that Japan and China had a dark history and stuff, but never learned about this incident in particular and had to Google it, and I get how things haven't exactly been peachy between the two nations

The US does house the best universities and some of the best schools. But when you have American companies asking for me legal immigration because American students are simply not there or they are disinterested there's a major issue. America may be the leader now, but how long will they last if they aren't catching up to China in education? Education is key to everything, which is why Kennedy was so pushy on education when he was in office. Zeno's Paradox although nice, I don't think it can be applied to everything in the real world, there's too many factors at play for that.

Again, Japan may have a nice role but that role is backed up by the powers in play the US and her allies. China is in prime condition to be a superpower. There has never been one country in the world to have the hegemony the US, is having right now. I doubt it will last any longer if there's China to compete.
