Is china getting to the point of within ten years they will pass the american economy? Is so this could be a major problem, a communistic government playing the guardian of all other nations? They will start start to take advantage of other countries for there own economic benefit. i believe if they overthrow america the effect could be catastrophic, slavery reborn.

I didn't answer the poll posted because it wasn't the same question that was in the title thread.
So, yes, China's becoming a global economic power player, and it's not the ideal country for that. China is nowhere near the US or Japan, however, the GDP of the entire Chinese economy is less that that of the state of California."Prozac Nation moves along at the speed of a Norwegian glacier, yet it provides the observer with nowhere near the pleasure."

China will most likely become the largest economy, in absolute terms, within the next fifty years. This doesn't mean that they will have more power than the US, however. The productivity and ingenuity of the US economy doesn't show any signs of weakening. Just because China makes more shoes and toy cars than anyone else doesn't make them gods. I expect that they will grow in influence as they grow in wealth. At the same time, they will most likely continue to liberalize, both economically and politically.
There is absolutely no chance for them to overtake the US as the most powerful nation anytime soon. America's influence is not only economic, but military and cultural. Even with an economy twice the size of America's, they would still be vastly poorer in per capita terms. They simply don't have the money necessary to influence the world the way America does, and they don't have the desire to influence the world the way the Soviets did. Personally, I give the US at least fifty years of continued dominance, barring catastrophe or other unforeseen events. Beyond that, it's hard to say.I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.

Kind of scary actually of China being the top superpower. Just to start with their insane media laws, killing political prisoners for organs, forcing woman into abortions by strapping them down and drugging them, the lack of basic freedoms, and such. I voted no, on it being top dog.Sometimes I think the whole world is after me, but I know that's not true... Some of the smaller countries are neutral.

Chinese economic model has some fundamental problems. Chinese demography also has some fundamental problems. Current projection says China will be the absolute biggest economy, surpassing US, in 50 years. I doubt that."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.

Canada's GDP is larger than california's and California either has the same, or a little more population than Canada

I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry

I agree with the previous post, today China is light years behind America when it comes to the military, within 50 years I still expect the US to lead the world in terms of technology, power projection and fighting ability. In terms of the economy China most likely will have surpassed the US in terms of sheer GDP but I still would give the US the edge in innovation and ingenuity as has been pointed out and also expect the average American to still have a better standard of living.
As to whether it is the right country for dominance I think I would prefer the US to be the sole superpower, I know the current US administration isn't exactly model but still
On the other hand who knows what benefits a return to a Cold-War style balance of power could bring
