The topic says it all. :)

Only if they rehaul there government system and embrace capitalistic values.

How much would Chinese economic growth slow if the 'Carbon Tariff' that seems to be talked about more and more was implemented by western countries?
People seem to think it's a forgone conclusion that China will continue on its current path of stunning growth well negating any chance that some crisis could completely derail the gains they've made. With about 800 million of it's citizens living in abject poverty, they don't all live in the coastal cities; there's a better chance China implodes over the next 20 years then it becoming an equal of the U.S.A or the EU. As it stands their about one crop failure away from massive food riots; forget about taking over the world.

That dosnt work well when you need the EU as a whole to move in one direction as they tend to move in 6.
America is of course comprised of states, but the connection between state and federal government is far more precedented and operational than in the EUs instance. Therefore the EU may have a combined GDP of slightly more than the US, but the reality of the cpacity of that GDP to have an effect on the world or another nation in a targeted fashion is very dim.

As for the value of the Euro. You have to understand that America by in large dictates the movements of currencies. It is the main trader of currencies and if it wants to crash the value of the Euro it will sell its euros. At the moment it dosnt need to crash the EU because it is already flopping left right and centre. And so america has a huge amount of the euros in reserve, hence having raised the value of the euro. But if need be when its important to shit the power back a little in the US favour it will sell of some of its euros.

Mr. Skin is the man!
