I do not think anyone will "challenge" American dominance. They will just slip away as their policies implode. Many will leave for better shores. They'll probably have a civil war if things get too bad, since they are not in the habit of accepting the consequences of their actions.

Many have tried, none have succeeded, there will come a time when it will wane, that is the cycle of life, but it isn't yet, and islam will not be the one to replace it, and if China does replace the U.S. Islam will be in for a rude awakening, If Russian replaces the U.S. your in for even bigger trouble, the Russ will remember Beslan and their children, and the religion that spawned that murder
 
Does not really matter what you say, and as for not yet, its already been happening for the last 10 years.

It will be interesting, since it is the first time in history that China, India, Japan, Korea will all be rich at the same time.

I say 2025 for a change in balance and 2050 for an indication of who is on top, China or India (crosses fingers)

S.A.M your bigotry and hatred, against America colors your projection, what I see is by that time, is a good chance for a war between China, and India, the two big kids on the block, of Asia, and both will want to be the one calling the shots.

Human Nature and Political Nature, and if we are smart we will sit one the sideline, and wait.

Just as we did in WWII, and when the time is right we will be involved in the war.
 
You're confusing the East with the West.

Do you think either the Chinese or the Indians are so dumb? :D

That sounds hard to belive. Cooperation is far more likely.

Yeah and its already started. Apart from the SCO, which India will join after it finalises its nuclear deal with the US, there is tremendous scope for economic and technological cooperation.
 
Its not like either of them have much to gain from a war, while they have a lot to lose from one. Especially since they both have nukes.

Has there been any open out war/conflicts between two nuclear powers?

Border skirmishes esp near Arunachal; there are some places there where we don't know if its India or China.

edit: hmm looks like that may be resolved.

The message coming out of the Great Hall of the People — overlooking Tiananmen Square — the venue for the India-China summit is clear. China wants to be seen as a partner and not a rival.

“The chemistry and the body language of both the leaders goes to prove that both the sides are dealing with each other, despite the problems which will be dealt with by the special groups,” observed a highly placed official in the Ministry of External Affairs.

No wonder then both the sides avoided discussing Tibet, “except for a passing reference”. And the controversy over incursions in Arunachal Pradesh did not even find a mention.

Both the leaders made it a point to clarify that India-China relations were not targeted at any country, nor would they affect their friendship with other countries. The undercurrent of the talks was clearly that of building new synergies, while living with the fact that there are problem areas both sides need to deal with.

The biggest reason for problems between China and India will be over water, both countries need massive amounts of water, and China could divert the Brahmaputra River for it own use.

There is global warming going on, wether man made or natural, it doesn't matter, water is going to be a problem, it is already a problem in Asia and the Sub Continent, that is were the big rub will be.

The need for water resources between the two largest populations of the world, who live border to border is not going to go away.

The resources are were the war will start.
 
Still, its not like they cant resolve the issue through co-operation. Time will tell, but I doubt India and China will go to war in any major way.
 
Unlikely in my opinion.

Even as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described engagement between India and China as “a historic necessity”, trade between the two Asian economies has reached a new tipping point. Now, it is only a matter of months before India-China bilateral trade overtakes that between India and its largest trading partner, the United States.

A Chinese official said that in 2007, total trade volume between India and China had touched $38.5 billion and was growing at a rate of close to 50%.

India’s trade with the US may be marginally more than that but is growing at less than 20%, and with the slowdown in the US economy intensifying, it could decelerate further. So it seems inevitable that China takes over from the US very soon as India’s largest trading partner.

From my experience, the chinese are pretty smart.. Hopefully they're smart enough not to repeat the U.S's mistakes.
 
Yes they are.

The Tibetan plateau is the principal watershed in Asia and the source of its 10 major rivers, including the Brahmaputra (or Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet), the Sutlej and the Indus. About 90% of the Tibetan rivers' runoff flows downstream to China, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
