There is a Star Trek movie with an awesome idea, in the movie, after WW3, the world's population dropped greatly, this scientist is about the launch his spacecraft to try the new speed of flight(light speed), and in another dimension, a few hundred years in the future, the earth federation is facing this urgency to stop somesort of catastrophy, their enemy wanted to go back in time to stop the experiment so to change the outcome of the future, this completely threaten human race, so the federation has to send their team to go back in time to make sure the success of the launch to its completion. An indeed, they succeed the mission, the scientist did the experiment for money, but after the launch, the speed of the spacecraft attracted outer space intelligent aliens, they usually never paid attention to earth because to them, humans are not civilized and backwarded and still living in equivalence to them cave age. So the aliens noticed the space craft, and decided to drop by earth to check this out, and in the movie, it was the beginning of complete change of perspective for human beings, they realized they are not alone, and once the encounter with alien intelligence took place, all wars and battles on earth stopped, and human beings started to work no longer for money but for common good of humanity.

This movie has such a wonderful idea, it brings tears to my eyes just describing the storyline.

I disagree with the idea that China would be less interventionist than the United States. To date they have not been in a position to intervene internationally and run the world the way the United States has, but there are small signs- the tension between China and Japan, between China and many Southeast Asian countries, the Korean problem, disputes over natural resources, the war between China and India, that if and when China does become powerful it won't be benevolent at all. Plus, we can tell they don't care about human rights.

I also disagree with the idea that China will be the next economic superpower. While it's possible, there are quite a few reasons against it, demographic trends in China, for example. From that perspective- looking forward 50 years- the country that's really looking good is India.
