No Global Brands
Still areas of low development
Unsustainable growth due to ageing population, environmental concerns, culture that doesn't encourage risk/creativity

2010, surpassed US to become biggest trading partner of Japan and Brazil
$100bn/year trade with Middle East and Africa
Becoming world's largest producer of solar and wind energy - now exporting to Us - being used for 360000acre wind farm in Texas
Starting to exert political power more responsibly - taken leading role in G20 helping push for active response to world financial crisis
Is China causing a decline in other countries' superpower status?
By 2030, Asia will have surpassed North America and Europe combined in terms of GDP, population, military spending and technological investment
Economic power will grow faster than US's
Will enhance superiority over Japan, Russia, and India
Greater political integration could turn EU into a state entity by 2015, so China and EU could have the same semi-superpower status at that time
