Yes, but it's important to remember that those Eastern nations that are currently rising are just as deeply flawed as ours are. China is facing a humungous housing bubble, a serious water crisis, an increasingly hostile external environment, and the god emperor of all demographic collapses, for example. India, for its right, struggles with instability, sectarianism, and nationalism.
Wealth will continue to pour into Asia, and that's a good thing overall. But it'll slow down sooner than most people think, may very well even halt altogether. In the case of China, this'll most likely be cataclysmic, as the state's only real source of legitimacy is the material well-being it provides its populace. Other nations may well just slump into mediocrity.
