People who are saying India are out of their minds. While it is true that India has a "democracy", it is notoriously corrupt. Not to mention that half the population doesn't have access to clean water. Slumdog Millionaire was filmed in 2007 and 2008. Those conditions were not exaggerated; the poverty percentage is extremely high. Here, have a read - http://money.cnn.com/2007/02/08/news/international/pluggedin_murphy_india.fortune/index.htm
Also to the people who are arguing that the gap between China's richest and poorest is somehow a factor in determining whether or not a country can be a superpower:
Richest person in United States = Bill Gates (Net Worth $40Billion USD as of 09)
Poorest person in United States = $0 USD
Richest person in China = Wong Kwong Yu (Net Worth $6.3Billion USD as of 08)
Poorest person in China = $0 USD
Looks like the gap here is much larger for the United States, so how exactly again does this have anything to do with being a superpower?
Ban *imports from China. And good luck with that, the US will have about 5% of its current products after the ban and since we don't see any made in USA products anymore.... lol'd. China doesn't need the west as much as the west needs China.china most likely, but the european union could be a major power in the future, china is a maybe as the more powerful it gets the bigger the gap between rich and poor is and the biggest problem china has is it's economy relies on the west, everything that they goes to the west so all we have to do is ban exports from china and their economy crumbles, russia could become powerful again although that will be in the distant future
