Whose century will it be?

Many say that this will be the Chinese century, after the 20th century was the American century, and the 19th century was the European century.

Personally, I am not entirely convinced. Although I do agree that China will be the numero uno economy in the world in a couple of decades, I don't think that this will eclipse the other major powers. In any case, which country do you think will be the main player in the world this century?

Not when you take all the creativity and corruption (essential aspects of growing economies) out of the systems in India and China...

I heard from a businessman in Singapore that the govt there is hoping to entice 1.3million Indians there in the next 10 years so they can rival Dubai as a working destination.
