Wot ya talking about? :-)

China and Asia generally is probably the largest and fastest expanding economy in the world.

The US, and Germany are debt-ridden to the hilt, but under different circumstances. Russian is another developing economy with considerable wealth in natural resources. The US loves to live off debt, but can't count - so it's hard to have a controlled economy. Germany took on the burden of the Eastern block and is paying this off - they can count. Russia will do just nicely in the longer term - they can count, but skim off half the revenue.

From top to bottom... Asian (China) will be the next leading economy of a magnitude we have not seen before. Both the US and Europe are already indebted to China on a substantial scale. Bottom of the list (or likelyhood of severe financial shit) is possibly.. na, probably the US. If an EU country hit the shit, that would probably be supported by the EU.
