Only those country which invest heavily in their military force and willing to show how powerful they are to the world deserve to become a superpower.
Like Japan prior to WWII? Or Germany for that matter? What happened to them?
China is falling into the same hole many before it fell in as well. With economic prosperity (well for the minority middleclass anyway) came thirst for more power and land. Napoleon did same, Japan did same, Germany did same twice....
The "norm" of the past 4,000 years is for China to have the biggest economy.
This is a myth propagated by the Chi-bots to make their claim to the #1 spot more valid. I heard countless times on this forum, China will take back it's rightful place bla bla bla.
Infact, Roman empire had bigger economy then Chinese at the same time. If you compare those stats on the link below, there really is no contest....
Chinese managed to overtake it only in the times of Song dynasty with more population and church going wild in Europe stiffling progress and entrepreneurship.
