China has recently overtaken the U.K. economy and is now slowly closing to overtake Germany and then it's set to surpass the U.S. and Japan. Experts believe within a few short years China will be the world's biggest economic superpower. Note:
"China's economic juggernaut maintained its breakneck momentum last year with a 9.9% growth surge that almost certainly took it past Britain to become the world's fourth-biggest economy."
Not only that but China (with its free education system) is now producing 300,000 graduates every year in science, technology, engineering and mathematics - three times the number coming through UK universities.
Even more astonishing are China's plans to lead in the space race and send manned missions to Mars in the not too distant future.
On June 22, 2006, Long Lehao, deputy chief architect of the lunar probe project, laid out a schedule for China's lunar exploration.
Sun Laiyan, administrator of the China National Space Administration, said on July 20, 2006, that China would start deep space exploration focusing on Mars over the next five years, during the 11th Five-Year (2006-2010) Program period.
