I would pick other countries as better suited for the future over China.

China has HUGE cultural problems it needs to overcome in order to become a true super power. China will be a player, but not the leader.

I'm a total nerd and read a lot of science and technology journals. All the papers submitted are written by researchers out of America, Brazil, Israel, Norway, France, etc. All over the world, almost never from China.

If China is so perfectly set up for the future, where are all the scientific papers from their universities? Where is all the research? Where is all the technology? When I see China, I see a bunch of 20th century smoke stacks.

That's why I said they have cultural problems. All of their university students can't even use Facebook or search Google without censorship. They are totally cut off from the rest of the scientific community. How on Earth can you claim they will drive technology when their students don't even have access to basic scientific research?
