China is in an irreversible population decline. They have very few natural resources. The only natural resource they have in abundance is people and the older people are about to become a burden on them with fewer younger people entering the work force. They have a lot more things to worry about than being a global super power. I doubt very seriously if that ever happens. India and Brazil have a better change of one day becoming a super power than China does. Stick a fork in Russia.
