In the future both China and India with each well over one-billion in population will be vying for the top status as the great World Economic Power Houses.
The United States currently has a comfortable lead with with over 3.
3 times the wealth of the next closest nation in GDP.
But this will change and we already see China passing Germany in the number five position.
India is rising fast also and taking more of the slow boat and sustained economic long-term approach.
China is rising fast and there is no slowing that economic engine as the expansion rate hits some 10% annually.
Some say they cannot maintain this, and yet if you look at the 1.
3 Billion people there, well if they play their cards right they certainly could.
Here is an interesting story; One gentleman, a globalist I met with discussed the reality of perhaps even merge the nations if it is feasible in the future.
I discussed with him the option of Franchising all nation's governments of the world and any colonies established off the planet in the same common cause, as it will be an issue within 150 years.
It is amazing the stuff you talk about in a five star hotel lobby while traveling abroad? You see here in the United States, we are making many errors in this nation attacking our industry and over lawyering, we are chasing jobs away.
Meanwhile we blame someone else for our ridiculous over regulation and political correctness speed bumps to the reality of efficiency.
One thing Bob was not mentioning is that Chinese are becoming entrepreneurs themselves and they are designing things too and learning our best qualities of free-enterprise and innovation, but dismissing the onerous regulations and political correctness rhetoric and debris, blob of bureaucracy and pettiness.
