[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I agree that China will be at the top tier of global power for the foreseeable future, I don't think they will overtake the US. They have major demographic challenges due to the One Child rule that will slow down their economic growth and make wars more costly. And their diplomatic rhetoric and style can be surprisingly haughty and off-putting. Their State Department was originally the "Department of Barbarian Affairs."[/quote] The US Department of Defense was originally the War Department. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is still called the Bureau of Indian Affairs and was originally part of the War Department. [/quote] The Department of Barbarian Affairs was the name of China’s state department, reflecting their point of view that they were the Middle Kingdom and everyone else was a barbarian.[/quote]
