I'm not sure if it would be America's downfall but one thing is sure in my mind -- just as it aims for economic dominance, China will be the United States main competitor for resources -- not just oil, but also steel, etc. and even human capital. As companies become global in reach and operation, they will compete for the best people to run their shops in China - wouldn't brain drain from the rest of the world be a real possibility, too?

Hey Big Thinker, Who is us? Most responses seem to imply the United States. But its not clear.
