China is really determined to take over the world. The East Asia’s biggest strives hard to overtake the United States and Europe in terms of the number of scientific researches that it has produced overtime. There is still the question though whether these scientific researches matches the quality of the leaders in research since everybody knows that they are more inclined to produce more in terms of quantity rather than quality.
We are thankful to China for their invention of paper, printing, compass and the gunpowder. You may not know that crude paper was originally used in Egypt around 3,500 BC which until 70 AD a person named Ts’ai Lun invented the kind of paper that is used use today. For the printing on the other hand was again invented in China with the use of woodblock around 220 BC which later on evolved into the real printing press that was already known to be invented by Johannes Gutenberg.
There is no stopping China now from later on dominating the world in terms of technology. From the rate they are going, no matter how poor the quality of their performance, there is power in numbers as they say. One of these days, these inventions and researches they have, no matter how crude, will still result to something else which deserves special recognition.
It will be noted that just recently, China had developed an anti ship ballistic missile, the DF21D, that could destroy an entire aircraft carrier which created a dent in America’s military invincibility over the region. It is a far a flung idea that they would engage into war in the near future, not until another 100 years to 150 years perhaps of which they have enough stealth bombers to match the formidable thousands that America has.
China’s determination to develop new things whether it is for military or for science only proves one thing, that they are no longer the sleeping giant lying idle in the corner. Her walls are slowly revealing the power that has not been unleashed until probably when the time is right.
The worse may not happen yet. There are only a few nations in the world that you consider dominating the world in military power and economy and China is not yet as influential as others are. They are exerting their efforts in building up their economy which is indeed seen by the influx of investments that they have had for the past few years. They appear to be mighty by now in terms of economy, and with just a little ironing of internal financial woes, China will rule the world financially.
There will be no need for them to overcome America with military might. They will just simply overload them with debt until they will come kneeling down to China for reprieve. A lot of people in China are still living in austerity even if their economy is booming while people in America are still enjoying their American dream despite their economic descent. By the rate this is going, it is clear that the latter will suffer the worse if they do not change overtime.
