The 800 lb gorilla in the room.....
China will try to follow the South Korean model of more robots, as well as outsourcing some labor intensive industries to friendly nations, similar to what the Japanese clothing brands currently do.
For the next 20 years it will be a young labor force in South Asia, and in the 20 years following it will most likely be the young labor force in Africa. If the US wants to seriously compete with China, it needs to ramp up its engagement and economic partnerships with developing nations. The people to people contact of expats living in the US from nearly every country in the world is a good starting point.
