Q: In the year 2049, will China be in its prime?

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/12/commentary-time-for-us-europe-to-ask-wha...

 

From CNBC article; "Finally, it’s clearer than ever that Beijing by the time of the 100th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China in 2049 aspires to be the dominant economic, political and perhaps military power for an era where democracies remain but authoritarian systems are ascendant."

 

Like the CPC, I also have pipe dreams, but I realize them for what they are. Or perhaps, like Poe, they are taking an opium-induced stroll through the Valley of Many-Colored Grass where such dreams are so vivid as to seem like reality. Still, they are entitled to their dreams, their aspirations and their goals. Hitler's new wonder weapons will win the war and all the world's a rose garden.

China has their dictatorship going for them, so at least they can play the long game. The US term limit is far too short to make any meaningful long term plans because the next administration will spend their time undoing what the previous one did.

Stiggs:

Yeah it seems like they spend their time trying to find dirt on each other, defending themselves against all the allegations against them and tweeting shit at everyone.

 

The Chinese just work on building their empire.

Yeah, they're building their empire of dirt and it will turn to mud when the commie restricted economy collapses. And that right soon.

Maybe, but then people have been saying the Chinese economy will collapse for a long time now and it hasn't happened yet, some economists say that the shit is about to hit the fan with the US economy too.

 

Anything can happen but if I was going to place a bet on this my money would be on China being a major power in 2050.

India's economy will surpass China's within the next decade. Maybe I'm being jaded and cynical, but I see China regressing rather than progressing. Their current political and economic policies will not allow them to move forward with any degree of certainty. Even though the US is on the verge of a major recession, it will emerge strong like it always has. It is not a house of cards like China.

It's possible. China is very determined and focused in working towards their goals, more so than their competition I think.

 

Then again, a lot can happen in 30 years so who knows, by then China's environmental problems will probably be catastrophic instead of just dire which might slow them down a bit.

China is already a major power in every sense of the word. Ghengas Khan,  Alexander, Neopolean, Hitler, and a few others had big dreams too. But like some of those powers, China"s dream will probably be defeated from within. Overtaking America will be easy as long as the Trumpet boy is in power.

diverdude1:

What does Trump have to do with events 30 yrs in the future?  Are u suffering from TDS?  lol

 

The thing that will make (does make) PRC strong is having a massive labor force who will work in shi**y conditions for such low wages.  Compared to Western kids who barely deign to get their hands dirty.  So, how can they compete?  China builds near continent-wide hi-speed rail, Three Gorges Dam, buildings in the downtowns that are world-class,   ok,,,  maybe the West has intellectual advantage,,,  but for labor force we can't come close to PRC.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
