China will never be a superpower. Once Obama's massive debt forces the US to default on the bonds China is holding, China will go broke

They are a worldwide leader in manufacturing output...as of 2011 they are responsible for 19.9% vs. the U.S. at 19.4%. What is a huge advantage that they have to continue this growth are two things...1) they have a gigantic labor force (while American's worker's are statistically more productive...it's a sheer numbers game, and they've got them), 2) their labor is much cheaper. Also, another not so nice statistic...China owns more U.S. debt than U.S. citizens do.

Considering how they treat their own citizens, its a safe bet they wouldn't play any nicer on the world stage.

...exactly...China doesn't fit the mold of a traditional economic superpower. Many of its residents live below what many of us would consider the poverty line and its vast countryside is still dominated by an agrarian economy....and yet, they are quickly on the path to gaining just as much, if not greater, significance as the U.S. in regard to global economic health.

Lots worse. China's rapid industrialization is detrimental to the earth and society.

If their growing middle class demands democracy, maybe better.

They already are one of three superpowers. They have Veto powers, and they like to keep things on a delicate little balance in the Pacfic...so, it's a little late for 'what if' situations, the country is as much an importance to World Economics as they are a danger to Regional Security.

I'm on the fence too...it's interesting to see how consumerism has influenced them within the past 10 years. Its economy recently passed Japan’s as the second-biggest in the world.

They will make it a Chinese place. All Toys will have lead paint. All manufacturing companies will have jumper nets like Apple.

China is headed for a big economic crash which may make them more volatile as far as the territorial disputes are concerned, there is a distinct possibility that there will be a regional war in the far east pretty soon. Life for us will be about the same although a lot of China's money will be in the US housing market. China is nearly sinking under the weight of their own army, but they are a cyber threat to be sure.
