I think we'll see some wild stuff coming out of China in the coming decades. They've basically just caught up with the west technologically, and now we're just starting to see them push past the western cutting edge tech. I expect this process will only accelerate as technology tend to be self reinforcing. Meanwhile, it's going to be difficult for the west to keep up because of a smaller population, lack of focus on education, and lack of central planning mechanisms necessary for directing productive development.
