| − | America is the best bet for a country that remains influential for some time. And Hispanics are a growing influence in the USA. The future of Asia is a wildcard because China is so influential in Asia. Xi Jinpin is a dictator riding a tiger due to many things potentially going wrong in China due to a graying population, debt, and an economic slowdown with some unrest. China lit the fuse of growing expectations which is a factor that can add rocket fuel to revolutions. If people's expectations are not met, they get angry and may revolt. But right now, most Chinese are nationalists and aren't anywhere near revolt. The Chinese may complain about lockdowns, etc. But they are not going to revolt.

There is one thing going right for China and that is a Christian population that has been experiencing explosive growth.
