The China Machine

Ever since the downfall of the Soviet Union the United States has been the only world super power. They’ve done whatever they want with no one there to contest them. But as China’s influence and power increases the United States is going to start to lose their grip on the world. With the U.S. no longer being the world’s only super power they are going to lose that domination that they’ve had over the world for so long. What China does and what China says could become more important than what the U.S. does and says. The U.S. and China could develop that same feud that formed between the U.S.S.R and the United States during the cold war, fighting for world control. But there is also a possibility that the U.S. and China could form alliance, feeding and growing off each other. China has already surpassed Canada as the United States number one trading partner showing that peaceful relationships are developing between the U.S. and their Eastern friend. There is no doubt that China has and is gaining a great deal of power and influence in the world, what they choose to do with it is entirely up to them. Who knows, we may need to learn mandarin in the future.
