Asia 'set to eclipse' US by 2030

Neither quote is surprising. We all knew that economic power was shifting to Asia, and it was inevitable that the US was not going number 1 forever. However, it will likely remain the seat of political power for some time to come, as the Chinese government hasn't learned to treat it's people well enough, nor get along with other nations in a manner to place it as a political leader worldwide.

In terms of politics, India does not seem to have any such ambitions.

Well I certainly feel more comfortable with our US allies maintaing that position.

Is the worlds largest economy always a good thing? It comes with it's own challenges and issues.

Super Power. Is it really all it's cracked up to be?
