If America is jealous of and worried about Japan, Germany and South Korea, it should get ready for the mother of all these three combined - China

There's no reason why after Japan and South Korea, China cannot or shouldn't become as developed and as technologically-advanced as the former two. This prospect should scare America to hell. Japan and South Korea didn't dethrone USA because these two nations, at the end of the day, are small. They might be powerhouses on per-capita and per-square-kilometer bases, but size of course matters. China doesn't have the area/population/resources/size disadvantages of France / Japan / Germany / South Korea. It's safe to say that the mother of all battles is about to begin, especially since Chinese companies - Huawei, BOE, etc. - are now starting to not just grow very big, but also dominate entire industries.
