what makes you think they are going to be a 'superpower' in 8 yrs??
I think people underestimate the US. I have to admit i started to believe that it would shift to China BUT the more research i do the more I'm convinced China is no better placed to take front seat than Australia..They have alot of internal problems which will IMO lead to the country breaking up into smaller provinces as did Russia..You can only hold up the flood gates for so long.
