      (Newser) - American pundits are constantly claiming that China will soon overtake the US as the world’s dominant power—but if you look at the facts, that’s just not true, writes John Pomfret in the Washington Post . “Dire demographics, an overrated economy, an environment under siege, and an ideology that doesn't travel well” mean the country will remain “the muscle-bound adolescent of the international system.” More »
