What do you thing about the relations of those nations?In my opinion China is ahed of everyone else at the moment in the way they see the things.I mean this country are monopolising every single market in every single nation,imagine what China can do after 10 years?Communistic country with dozens of billioners(what would Marx and Engels say about that),and enourmous economic grow in the situation of world crisis.They are like State version of Mr. Warren Buffet,getting money from everything.Also China's Vice Minister words “The clock is ticking”,do they already have the confidence to oppose USA?However China will most probably help States again,well not because they are kind-hearted guys,because they have lke 3.4 trillions in obligations and investestition there.What do you think about the relation betweeen those two countries and the way China grow i power?
I think it's been known for a while that China would be the next real competitor/threat to the United States. The massive amount of people alone makes it a formidable foe, and the fact that the nation is semi-isolated (compared to the West) makes it possible for China to do things that might otherwise not work in places such as Europe. One of the interesting things is that China is succeeding not because of its communist economy, but in spite of it; from last I heard, there is a large chunk of the economy which actually operates on capitalist principles. Today, China's political arm cannot flex as much as it wants because of so much international investment in the country. If China does anything drastic, it could potentially wreak havoc on its economy if corporations start pulling out – another effect of globalization.

Actually very good point.If you think about it all major fianincial powers have money in China.For example China is the countrey with most Automobiles made in it,which is kinda impressive when you compare it with China in early and middle 90s.
And along with that, it's a two-way street with he amount of American debt that China has bought. So while China is a threat to the U.S., other more immediate threats are those nations which have more limited exposure to globalization (e.g. North Korea, Iran).
Let's not forget China's lax environmental policies. Look at the pollution of some of their rivers. It's pretty bad. Remember the smog before the Beijing olympics? A nation won't last too long in power if the people can no longer drink the water…or breathe.
