far from a strong economy? they are third in the world, and in years they will surpass japan, and i thought china was said to be the next hyprepower country of the world, relatively soon too....so far, america is the only hyperpower..... |
First of all, your basic facts are wrong. China isn't third in terms of the size of their economy. They're seventh. They're behind Italy. And I said relative to their size. China loses by a long shot there. Germany has maybe, maybe 1/20 the number of people that China does, but their economy is twice as large. Let's not even go into the size of China's economy before they got Hong Kong back. And size aside, their economy is not very strong either. They're not in the G8 because their economy isn't stable or self-sufficent. That Japan thing sounds highly skeptical to me as well. Japan's GP is something like 4 trillion a year, whereas China's is less than 1 trillion. It'd take a complete rebuilding of the country for them to beat Japan at any point in the next fifty years, much less five.
The term, btw, is "superpower", not "hyperpower".
