China is doing lots of things right. It's investing in education and R&D, it's opening up, it's more cosmopolitan than it's ever been. I think it's very likely that China will continue to explode economically and certainly become a superpower.

There is a growing recognition about China as a power in the ascent, and there is a question out there about what China will do with their new ascension.

I've been around long enough to know that empires come and empires go, and I can't tell how long the Google empire is going to last - but I'm pretty convinced that the answer is less than forever.

We see China becoming an unstoppable force. It's a huge threat and a huge opportunity.

Even as China's growth slows, it will continue to be a powerhouse for the global economy.

I believe that if you treat China as an enemy, then it is likely to become one.

China's history is marked by thousands of years of world-changing innovations: from the compass and gunpowder to acupuncture and the printing press. No one should be surprised that China has re-emerged as an economic superpower.

Empires inevitably fall, and when they do, history judges them for the legacies they leave behind.

All empires come to an end, and the American one is no exception.
