19th century = British Century
20th century = American Century
21st century = ???
Obviously, America has reached its peak, so we're not getting a sequel to the American century just yet. Russia is a joke, so no Russian century, either.
So what will it be, /pol/? The Chinese century? European (Union) century? The Indian century? The Brazilian century? The African century? The Caliphate century?
I'm willing to bet if anything, it will be a Chinese century. I see a lot of parallels between China and the US. Before America became a superpower, it was still an economic and industrial powerhouse, just as China is today. The US also went through some very serious economic challenges in the first half of the 20th century, just as China will in the coming decades. But in the end, we're going to see a shift in the balance of power (we're already seeing it start now) where the Chinese are starting to throw their weight around in global affairs.
