Why China Will Never Be a Superpower

Last month, the World Economic Forum was held in Dalian, China. The focus was on how to continue to develop the rapid economic growth that has occurred throughout Asia. However, the ineptitude of the Chinese is widespread throughout the world as well. There are many factors that will ensure that China will never become a role model for other countries to follow.

1. One child only policy. China started this rule for families to have only one child in 1979. In China, a male is given more honor than a female; therefore, many families only kept a male child. The females are either aborted or abandoned in orphanages. As a result, male children born outnumber female children at a ratio of 116.9 to 100. After thirty years of this dumb policy, there is now a ratio of 106 men to 100 women throughout the entire country of China. Unfortunately, population control has not helped since more than 1 billion people reside in China. If the Chinese cannot handle this problem of overpopulation, then they will never be able to figure out how to even become a superpower. Think about it: they outnumber every country in the world and they still haven't figured out how to be the #1 country in the world. Maybe Sun TzuSun Tzu's 'Art of War' should have had a section on how to show the Chinese some strategies on becoming a world power.

2. Human Rights Issues. The Chinese government always suppresses anyone who chooses to disagree with the government. They imprison, torture, and kill anyone who chooses to express different views than what the government wants the masses of China to follow. Squelching freedom of expression saps all creativity from the country. Nobody wants to invent or create anything different because of the threat of being killed for just expressing ideas. Therefore, the government keeps the masses of China in a mediocre, stagnant state with no clues on how to become greater.

3. Economic Issues. Gold right now is over one thousand dollars an ounce. Whenever there is an economic crisis, the prices of precious metals skyrocket. What does China do? They invest a majority of their money in USA's T-bills. If the USA collapses in the future, then China would economically collapse as well. China's economic future is directly intertwined with how the USA does. Dependence on another country will never put China into superpower status.

4. Production Issues. China's number one exporter is the USA. However, whatever China makes is extra crappy. The paint on some of the toys they make have more lead in them than a box of pencils. China causes the most pollution throughout the world. Pollution is caused because of ineffective production. China could clear up pollution because the Olympics last year in Beijing was free from pollution. Slothful attitudes will ensure that China will never become a superpower.

Those were just a few of the issues that show why China will never be a superpower. If you have more reasons why they will never become a superpower, then place them in comments because there are a few more that I did not mention.
