Age of Superpower America Ends in 2016

The IMF believes that the Chinese economy will overtake the US economy by 2016. The Chinese should have a much larger economy than the US to provide a decent lifestyle to a billion people. The Chinese government is doing the right thing by their people by providing opportunities.
