But you have to remember that despite the huge populations Asian countries just don't have very strong infrastructures and are very underdeveloped. China especially keeps pushing to get stronger for fear of falling behind but they still have very weak infrastructures and such and thus keep falling further and further behind in many things required for a strong society.dawgsfan1447

China+Japan=teh win. One of the richest countries in the world+an emerging superpower. 'nuff said. As for western countries, all I can say is that their power is slowly dwindling.-kaz3-

You do know in their history, Japan and China have never once gotten along and despise eachother to this day? Are you also aware that the Japanese economy is NOT growing? And that China is talking out of its ass about its growth?

I wish that someone would just nuke the US to wipe the smug arrogant smiles of their faces.-Karayan-

Russia is in both Europe AND Asia.

In comparison to their quickly rising nation debt, incoming senior boom, and decreasing population? It won't be recovering for long.

On that subject, has anyone noticed how despicably arrogant and egotistical the Japanese can be sometimes? The Japanese know how popular their history and culture is amongst foriegn nations, one can't help but notice in a number of anime when some global catastraphe befalls the world, Japan is always the only first world nation left standing. The "we're cooler then you" attitude can get real annoying, real fast. Guess the ghosts of Impieral Japan still haunt them to this day. I like Japanese culture a lot, I respect them as a people a lot. But no one is perfect apparently.

Yes, senior booms have happened before, but never during a world populationg upwards of 6 billion. Seniors are living a lot longer then they used to, thanks to medical technology and the baby boom of the 40s. Most of the first world is going to go through a huge boom of non working, retired seniors very soon. The worst damage will befall, convienently, China, Japan and the US.

The US's social security and medicare programs are disasterous and poorly implemented. They can barely support the current number of seniors as it is and cannot possibly handle the incoming train of them.

A good number of China's population is senior. They already have problems feeding the people in their country with their current number of working citizens, now imagine a huge number of non producing citizens still consuming resources?

Japan's current birth rate is actually -0.02. Current status shows that most teens in Japan are not interested in families or reproducing. That, in combination with the incoming senior boom is going to hurt in the long term, a lot.
