the teeter will become a totter then a topple before an almighty tumble. You're right @seeders, there is an imminent collapse of $. A new monetary system is soon coming... And that will shift with the might as well...

27th Feb 2007, main American stock indexes plunged... Why? Shangai "lost" 9% without any reason... and it took the whole planet with it... why? Test of might...

And that will shift with the might as well... Not likely soon, China has to reverse the flow of consumption for it to surpass the US economically. As things stand now, they are akin to a house help for the US, making everything the US needs. All the US has to keep up with is technological advances and innovations to stay ahead of the game. For proof you can draw lessons from Japan who have been building stuff for the US forever but has not managed to move ahead of the US. What makes you think China will manage. Culture has to be the major catalyst for why the US stays relevant, as long as the American Dream remains the worlds dream, they will always attract other nationalities to their country.

This happened already in 2014: China surpasses U.S. to become largest world economyQuote:For the first time in decades, the U.S. is no longer the largest economy in the world, and China has become number one, the International Monetary Fund says.
The IMF recently released the latest numbers for the world economy, stating that China will produce $17.6 trillion in terms of goods and services-- compared with $17.4 trillion for the U.S.

Native speakers. Anyway you are correct though a little ambiguous. yes Native speakers however if you noticed Mandarin and Hindi are very homogenous and their growth is premised on the growth of their native speakers. For English and to an extent French and Spanish - these have all to do with culture permeation. Things such as music, sports, the internet, TV and movies is really spreading it. Literacy of english is important if you need to trade outside your boundaries. Arabic is also very well spread. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

You are right @masukums, English and Arabic share a similar trait: they span across race and tribe even geographical...
