This was really what this thread was aimed at.
China is growing so rapidly and i think that with this growth its influence over other countrys is going to rise to a bigger extent than it is at the moment.
Iv also read that learning English is mandatory in a large number of primary and secondary schools throughout China, and with that dont see why not its influence wont cross over to the English speaking world. It may take some time but i think its inevitable.
I also dont see America recovering back to its previous "150% - We run the world status." by that i mean, I think the peak influence it had over other countrys wont return to what it used to be. The country itself will eventually overcome the current struggles and return to "100%" there will always be an influence coming from America and the things other countrys have adopted from the "American way" will probably stay but Americas time has come and gone.

My prediction (which is shared by a US thinktank by the way) is Nobody will be THE superpower. There will be regional powers and a few global ones but that's about it.
That's the next step anyway.
