China is already a super-power. Right now, there are only three super-powers in the world. They are the United States, China, and Russia. There are a few countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Germany who used to be super-powers once upon a time. I would call them ex-superpowers.
No, China is a Global power but getting closer to a superpower. Right now the Chinese lack the global power projection that the US has, mainly military bases in other countries, lots of carrier fleets allowing for "global" air-force capability, and a relative lack of treaties and organizations with their neighbors. Russia and China don't exactly like each other, or at the very least they put on their own shows for the rest of the world and only co-operate to get rid of the US hegemony.Russia is a regional power; they really lack the projection capabilities that the US and China have but they do make up for it by being relatively effective with regional or slightly removed regional conflicts.
basically the only two powers are the US and China now, and China relies a lot on the US trade to maintain their social structure.
If you think about where China was back in the 80s and how quickly they managed to develope in the last 30 years you get an idea how far they will bring it in the next 30 years.
Their big advantage is the big population. For a successful society you need smart guys, workers and so on. Chaina has more than enough from each of them.
just learn their history and what they offer to the world and so on and they are one of the emerging super powers without a doubt.
