The clash of the races or the chinese threat

Though USA is the only superpower in the world today this might change sooner than we anticipate. The next important superpower in the world will most likely be china.

The basis for the power of the USA is its unity, its economic power, their superior military forces and the capitalistic economic system. China has the potential to surpass the USA in all these categrories.

May be the most important source for the power of the USA is its unity. Its the power of 240 millon people united under the star spangeled banner. Yet, in China we see 1.2 billion people all united as one nation. Even if one would add the 360 million european allies chinas population surpass our population by far. Therefore, china has the power to become eventually more powerful than the USA.

Though, at the moment chinas economy is not so important, the economic growth of china is tremendeous and will continue in future. For now, chinas economy is dependent upon know-how provided by western engeneers and scientists, yet china is learnig rapidly. They continue to copy everything and to produce everything a little bit cheaper, thereby outcompeting domestic production. Sooner or later they will catch-up with us.

China also adopted the capitalisic economy system, which makes the economy so successful. I believe their capitalism will be even more successful than ours since in china economic success is not "jeapardized" by sticking to human rights rather than carin for individual human lifes. China is a totalitaristic regimen where the succes of the collective is more important than the life of an individual. They behave like ants. In fact china has developed the crulest capitalisic system in existence.

As chines continue to assimilate western techology and eventually begin to develop their own weapons theis will result in a tremendeous threat to the "free world" since know china will have human and economic recources to fuel military force we can't possibly compete with.

Energy recources of the earth are not infinnite. Most likely the energy resources of the earth will become limiting for the maximal population of menkind which can be sustained on earth. A fast growing economy with 1.2 billion people just stated to compete with us for recources. As a result we already witnessed an increase in prices for recources like iron, copper, oil and so on but the fight has only just begun. And china didn't start the fight to provid the USA with cheap labor.
