I think in the coming years, China will pull more and more of the third world countries under its domain. Specifically, I think that China will kick off something like the H1-B program in the US because of its aging population. They're going to draw in more and more scientists and researchers from those third-world countries and their tech sector is going to really challenge America's, which will be one of its last great bastions of wealth. And if China ever gets the upper hand there, then the US will start to decline. I don't think it'll ever really lose - the population is too educated and the lands are too rich - but I think a reversal of China and the US' statuses is entirely possible in the next 30-40 years.
