Once China takes over as the Superpower, what differences will we notice?

Personally I almost look forward to there being less religion in politics.

I don’t think China would really care that much about other nations’ internal politics, and importance of religion, etc. Doubt you’d see much change there.

At the international level, relations are already very pragmatic, and religion is generally a pretense at most.

I think that things would look largely the same day to day, but our economy would degrade severely. We extract untold benefits from our status, having the world’s reserve currency, etc.

Agreed.. As long as there is a profit and not too many trouble makers the Chinese are rather good at allowing the Status Quo.@QuixoticSoul

In the case of America the artificial floor holding the economy would have to be removed, leading to a rebalancing, downward. The mechanism and how severe is unknown of course. And I think a censored internet would be a reality worldwide. The new social credit experiment, to offer bonuses to good citizens is interesting.@QuixoticSoul
