Will China surpass U.S. in GDP soon to become No. 1 superpower soon?

Will China overtake the United States in terms of GDP within a few decades to become the leading superpower instead of the United States?


Not a few scholars and experts predict that China will likely surpass the United States in terms of GDP in the future. China's economy, which is currently the second-largest in the world, has been expanding quickly in recent years. China's GDP is anticipated to continue growing in the years to come, though at a slightly slower rate, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).


It is crucial to remember that a country's GDP is not the only sign of its economic strength and that it is not always a reliable predictor of a nation's overall dominance or influence. In addition to military might, political stability, technological innovation, and cultural influence, there are other more elements that affect a nation's overall strength and influence.


Unpredictability of the Sino-U.S. relations


It is difficult to predict exactly how the relative economic and political clout of China and the United States will change over the ensuing decades. The power dynamics between the two nations could evolve in unanticipated ways as a result of the numerous opportunities and difficulties they both confront.


One thing is clear: the Sino-American rivalry would not be confined to the two powers - they would spill over across the whole globe, impacting the world order as they would inevitably engage many other countries from Taiwan, the Western and Asian allies of the U.S. such as South Korea and Japan on one side to Russia, Iran, North Korea and other authoritarian regimes on the other side, pitted against each other.


How the competition of the two major powers would go in the coming decade(s) would therefore be one of the most important factors to decide the fate of the humanities along with climate change, A.I.-robot automation and economic problems such as income/wealth inequality, among others.
