Every
country
wants
to
become
a
superpower
in
economics
or
poli-cs.
Now,
America
is
the
superpower
over
all
of
the
world,
making
rules
and
games
that
other
countries
usually
have
to
follow
due
to
the
decision
from
America.
However,
who
will
be
the
next
economic
superpower
in
the
world
that
can
order
another
country?
Maybe
China
or
India
will
be
the
next
economic
star.

20. Every
country
would
like
to
establish
themselves
as
a
dominant
superpower
in
the
area
of
economics
or
poli-cs.
America’s
superpower
status
can
be
felt
throughout
the
globe
and
countries
overseas
are
required
to
adapt
to
American-‐style
legisla-on
that
has
been
imposed
as
a
result
of
foreign
policy
decisions
made
in
America.
Nevertheless,
predic-ons
about
America’s
imminent
global
decline
are
evident
and
the
ques-on
remains
as
to
which
country
will
become
the
next
economic
superpower?
