The Marxists hope so and are assisting where possible.

China believes in China - it does not worship at the altar of globalism, as we do.

In fact, it's really only a matter of time before China replaces the US as the world's #1 superpower. This has become even more apparent given the apparent desire of a majority of Americans to make this happen. For example, we no longer have the will to defend ourselves against Islamic fascism. We make excuses for our enemies. We'd rather fight and defeat George Bush than fight and defeat our enemies in Iraq. Don't tell me it's not all Americans; 60% is enough to make it so.

China, on the other hand, will never kowtow (no pun intended) to an Islamic enemy. Moreover, it has a rapidly growing sense of the need for economic and political freedom. China may never be a "western" democracy, but nor will she ever be the totalitarian threat she was 25 or 30 years ago. That geni simply won't go back in the bottle.

Don't they have to make "superpower" before they can make "#1 Superpower?" As far as I can tell they are a regional power at best and cannot project power much outside SE Asia. Meanwhile the US projects overwhelming superiority on the far side of the planet in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That's an old talking point used by the same type of people who said the Soviet Union was going to win the Cold War.
