China

Because America has to be the best at everything.

It's strange to see the global acceptance of the US as the world superpower despite only being a very powerful country for the last 100+ years.
I mean that is nothing, and how much longer can it last?

Because China as a state does what is prudent, not what is just.

Throughout the centuries this has led to untold human suffering on scales we as Westerners can't even comprehend. Hundreds of millions of dead, mass famine, societal collapse, backwardness, hubris, failure to come to terms with even the most basic premises that ensure human dignity. China lacks the moral authority to be the de facto "leader" of the world like the US currently is. China as leader means worldwide destabilization, because the Chinese have never sought to set in order anything but themselves.

because its not true

They're not Christian, their recent explosion of converts notwithstanding. At least France, England, and America are nominally Christian.

Only Ameriniggers think about this.

Most just shrug and worry about their own countries.

>>2639384
China was never a super power unless you count when they were part of Mongolia, they were a regional power without a means to project their power.

Anything is better than American imperialism, at least China mostly keeps to themselves.

Americans really believe that supporting various 3rd world dictators and generally destabilizing the fuck out of Middle-east was the right thing to do and everyone who claims otherwise is a commie.

>I mean historically china was always a giant superpower

Wow, so giant

>>2639709
Nah sticking to yourself is not a how a world superpower roles. If China does become a world power that means it will have an emense ability to project power and influence the policies of many nations. Their economicsite can already do that, but their military projection is laughable at the moment. They can't even effectively control the seas around China. (Which they are working hard to change)

The term superpower doesn't make sense before the 1700s. Before that every country was what we would call today a regional power at best.

The current liberal secular order is all that's between you and your country's total collapse. I mean that.

The world is already multipolar. Obama stepped off mediating and Trump doesn't care.

China? Superpower? In your dreams, Chang. The third world war will see China so weakened and demoralized that Japan will sweep in and restart the rape colonies. The east belongs to Japan.

1990s.

Europenis Imperialists checked the fuck out of each other.

When the Soviet Union was dissolved America was left standing as the first true Superpower.

"Superpower" is a post WW2 term, applied to Britain, the USA and the USSR. It doesn;t just mean "power" or even "great power", it refers specifically to a power that is capable of acting anywhere in the world, in other words it is about force projection.

Ever met any Chinese?

You wouldn't want them in charge either.

Because everyone currently on this board is more likely to have closer beliefs and values to those of the United States than the authoritarian one party regime of China.

Isn't Europe also noted for having better iron deposits then basically everyone else?
That is still a pretty big discrepancy, I would be interested to know the validity of the sources.
