I have come across Jiang Xueqin's videos and his predictions were quite fascinating. I don't know whether we shall see the complete fall of the American empire in our lifetime, but one thing for sure is that it's on its way downwards.
I am one of the people who think that China is going to be the next power. Yes they don't fancy wars right now but have you seen how they are building their military and defensive capabilities? There will come a time when they will have to defend what they have built and that when the Military will come in.
China was an Empire before, and it's one of the oldest civilizations spanning over 5,000 years so why not this time round?
I don't think that china can really make it to the world power through war, china too is aware of this that is why they are using other means to show case themselves to the world. China is indeed one country that has been on the rise and they have been able to show that through their high technological advancement and innovation which they have been able to build for themselves, over the years.
But I am one of those person's who believes that China is still far from achieving real world power. America is still ahead of china by some miles infact let just say that China is only trying to bridge the gap which exists between them and America. China is lagging behind America it will take a while before China can actually become a real threat to America.
