China will be the country to watch.
I hope that they become a democracy and then a superpower. Hate to have the Chinese prove that a dictatorial system can do better than surrounding slowpoke, messy democracies.

China will not be a democracy. For their culture, it would make no sense.
Hopefully, they either see us as not a threat to them (which is doubtful) or to strong to take on (which is what they see now, but for not much longer).
The next world war will be in Asia. China needs the resources of its neighbors to advance, and as long as they give her that all is fine. But one day someone will say no, and troops will be sent in.
