America will still be the next Super Power in the future. We will be the next superpower because we have a strong economy, military, and political standpoint. For instance, the United States accounts for 22.44% of the gross domestic product or gross world product and as of 2016 is $18.57 trillion. But in China people have started to take money farther such as not using as much money on clothing and food. For instance the national average for a person to be paid in China is $14,600 where as the average in the United States is 30,000 dollars more. This causes China to not be as in as much debt as the US. Also about 6.5% of people in China are under poverty level which means that they are living off about $1.90 a day. In the United States about 14.5% of people are in poverty which means that someone does not have the right amount of food and lack a warm home. As well as having a strong Economy the United States has one of the best militaries in the world. In China due to their large population of 1.3 billion people they have a larger amount of people in their military(2.3 million people). In america about 1.5 million people work in the military but this does not affect the America. For example we spend 601 billion dollars on our military supplies. Each person in the military get an emese supplies for protection and food. People in the Chinese military only get about the price that is equivalent to 2 iphone 6. This causes many people in China when fighting to not be protected enough unlike people in the US.

As well as having a strong military the United States is a strong political leader that many people listen to them. FOr instance, between 2006 and 2008 a poll was taken to see who approves of people the United States and China's government and who would listen to them. In the end 24% percent of people don't like how China's government and 34% of people liked how the US government was ran. Also, when the United States has protest many countries see it as a way to see freedom due to freedom of speech. Where as China uses politics as a way to get stability and everyone on the same page. Although, many people still might not agree with this but it doesn't matter which causes many people to not believe all that is said there.

~China’s unemployment rate is about 4%

~America’s unemployment rate is about 4.1%

There are more people in China that are unemployed because of how many people live there compared to the US

I agree with the solders getting more supply's because the U.S. spends around 10 times more on one solder then china does which makes our troops able do better with all of the needed supply's.

The USA is the will be the next future Super power. First, the USA has a very strong military. They spend about 601 billion dollars a year on their military. China only spend 147 billion dollars a year on their military. Also the USA has very power full weapons that china does not have. The USA has MQ9 reapers, lazer avengers, and ADAPTIVs. All of these powerful weapons give us an advantage on the battle field.

Also the USA has a better political Influence. The USA gives freedom of speech to all the civilians. China says they give freedom of speech to there civilians but if you speak out they will destroy your future. Also in the USA you are allowed to have as many kids as you want. In China you can only have one kid. If the first child is a girl you are allowed to have a second.

Finally America has good economy. America exports about 1.4 trillion dollars a year form exports. China only makes 111.4 billion dollars a year form exports. The USA make more money per year. China has less debt than us but America makes enough to pay it off some day.

I agree with this because the United States spends a lot of money to make sure all of their solders are protected. This ends up helping us when fighting because the United States looses less people. Also, although the United States has a good economic income China has more exports then we do which could help them have a stronger economy.

I believe in 10 to 20 years the U.S.A will remain the world's superpower. There are many reasons why I believe this. First United States has an overall GDP of 19.24 trillion dollars but China has a GDP up 11.9 trillion dollars there for the U.S.A. has a higher GDP. However the USA exports only 1.45 trillion dollars a year and imports 2.26 trillion China on the other hand exports 2.09 trillion & Imports 1.58 trillion dollars. Although the U.S.A. has a higher GDP,Do to China exporting more money than they import causing them and gain of money whereas the U.S. loses money in export to import ratio causes China to win this section. Although China may have one the previous section a large factor in the u.s. remaining a superpower in 10 to 20 years is there military. The USA's military has 1,289,900 active personnel China has 2,353,000 active person though. Although this puts China far ahead due to them having more active personnel the U.S. has far more advanced gear and are spending more money on their military China spends A mere 1.9% of their GDP whereas the US spends 3.3% of their annual GDP. Although China may have more tanks they tend to rely on older gear whereas the u.s. is always up-to-date with their gear and making high-tech advancements in their military. We also have higher Tech rocket artillery making the U.S far more capable than China in a long distance War. Also due to the lack of budget put into the military for China soldiers tend to be unprotected when they go into war. The final reason that I believe the US will be the future superpower is due to their economy and International effect on the world. China is incredibly influential to his country. However although they are considered an extremely powerful country they do not have as much of an international influence as the rest of us. This may have something to do with them being communist and being more in control of their country which is why they would have such an effect on it. United States tends to be considered the most powerful country in the world they live in extreme International effect on every continents. However some of the effect that causes negative and people do not like what they are saying or doing and going against that. This is the same for China many people do not agree with their governments or way of doing things. United States Internationally due to it having more International allies. this shows many ways that the u.s. will be the future superpower of the world.

The United States of America will be the 21st century superpower because of the following reasons. In the first place, China's economy is growing, however GDP per capita that really matters. According to the World Bank, the United States of America's GDP per capita was $53,042 in 2013. Whereas China's GDP per capita was only $6,807. Furthermore, The US accounts for nearly 35% of global military spending, and spends more than four times what China, the world’s number 2 spender, does on its military. Moreover, politics matters as well. Politically, the United States had the world’s first democratic government in 1789 and expanded the government ever since. The United States has been a world leader in quality of life, with more than 60 percent of the population owning their own homes and over 90 percent owning cars. On the other hand, with 50 percent of the population still living in very bad conditions in the countryside and massive air, water and soil pollution killing 1.2 million people a year, Chinese quality of life is quite poor. A recent poll showed that more than 60 percent of the wealthiest Chinese want to leave the country. In the end, the United States of America will be the next super power of the 21st century.

The United States will be the Superpower of the 21st century. The United States economy is the world's largest economy by nominal GDP and second largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The U.S. GDP was estimated to be 19.3 trillion in 2017. It has the seventh highest per capita GDP nominal. And Americas currency is the most used in international transactions and is the world's foremost reserve resources. As well developed infrastructure. But when dealing with the Military USA is still the winner the United States may not have as many people as china does have but we have more rockets, helicopters, Armoured fighting fighting vehicles. We have 46,000 and china has 4,788. The U.S. has one of the largest militaries. The U.S. is also the winner of politics, because china is a communist country, and the U.S. is not so people respect us better because of how we lead our country and how the government does not control everything, because in china the government controls everything and you do not have the freedom of speech or press. But the U.S. has freedom of speech and press, So therefore the U.S. will be the Superpower of the Future.

USA vs China Who Will be the Next Superpower

Economically China easily beats out the US with most of the goods imported to the US being from China and their gdp being worth 11199.15 billion USD in 2016. China exports more than the US and imports less as well, so the foreign debt is only about 4.3 trillion while the US is about 12 trillion in debt to China alone.

Although China has 385 million men available, the US has technology and better weaponry. The US Air Force, the largest Air Force in the world, alone has 5,226 aircraft which are used for many different missions but combined with the rest of the military that adds 2 to 3 thousand more. The Navy contains around 460 ships on active and reserve fleets including carriers, destroyers, submarines, transport boats, etc. Ground vehicles include tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored carriers, armored combat support, light utility, mine protected, light armor, self propelled artillery, anti aircraft, prime movers, what is deemed misc, unmanned combat, and experimental vehicles.

Politically the US is much more influential and stable than the Communist Party of China. The US government has many more allies than China (NATO, South Korea, Australia, Israel, etc) with China having Russia and North Korea as their prime allies. The US also has been politically stable while China has had many protests and changed government from dynasty to nationalist to to communist and remains communist to this day. The US is much more influential with its connections to other countries and its previously discussed stability in the government with the trust of the people making it a trustworthy country.

Side: The USA will be.

The U.S. will be the superpower of the 21st century for a few reasons. This will be because the U.S. has a way bigger GDP than China and if we keep up the exporting and cut back on imports a little bit they will put their GDP's up. However China has one of the if not the biggest exporting products in the world which is putting China's economy Also the military's of both countries, no other country has near the technology or spending budget the U.S. has on its military. In comparison to China's military china spend $144.2 million on its military to the U.S's $611 billion on its military. How ever china does have a much larger population that has people fit for service. Also the U.S. has one of the best and fairest governments in the world with democracy and Republican being the two . This will keep their people loyal and in support of the government along with the military and people being inspired for helping the country. Unlike china who's majority of its population dislike or are scared of the government. For those reasons I believe the United States will remain the superpower of the world until the 21st century.

China is the winner. During 2013 China made 7.7% and the US made 1.6%. In 2013 China made 6.2% more than the United states did that year. China had 385,821,100 people that were eligible for military in the year 2010. The United states had 73,270,040 eligible for serving their country in the year 2010. In a political sense The United states is the winner. China has three main powers to their country: the National People's Congress (NPC), the President, and the state council. where as the United states are a democratic country in which the peoples have the power to vote for who they want to make the decisions in their country.

China is the future superpower. China has a stronger economy than the US. China has less poverty than the US does. In 2010 the US had 15% of their people in poverty and China had 2% of their people in poverty. Chin as growth rate goes up every year. Which is good for them because they have a better army or military which is good. The military winner is china because they have 260 million ,ore people fit for the military than the US does. They also have 382 million people available and the US only has 73 million people available. Then finally the US is the winner of political. One reason is because of freedom of speech. Imn the US people can say what they want to say to the government, but in china if you say something wrong you could get killed. For example, the cultural revolution if Simone said one bad thing about the government they were snitched on but the red guards which were kids. Some kids would even tell on their parents to the government. The winner overall was china being the future superpower.

The future superpower is China. China has a better Economy and Military than the USA. China’s economy has a GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of debt which is 22.4%,which is a lot better compared to the USA’s. This is because china has a lot more exports than the USA so they get a better economy and more money. The US has a GPD dept of 71.9%,which is worse than china’s economy. This is because the USA has a lot of imports and they lose money. Chinas is better in economy than China. China has a fit manpower of about 318,265,000 troops as of 2010. This is because China has a lot bigger population compared to the US so they have a greater manpower. The US has a fit manpower of 60,620,140, as of 2010. This is bad for the US because China has more fit manpower than the US, so China has a better army. China has a better military than the USA. For political China is run by a semi-presidential socialist republic run by a single party called the Communist party of China. This is bad for China because that makes them communist because the citizens of China don't have rights like freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The US is a federal republic where the presidential and federal courts share powers reserved to the national government according to our constitution. This makes the US better than China in the political section because we have rights for freedom of speech and religion. China will be the superpower of the future. China has a better economy and military than the US.
