China & India Will Challenge American Hegemony
China and India are emerging economic powers. China is a Marxist/Maoist regime flirting with the prosperity Capitalism brings. India is a somewhat Western style democracy implementing Capitalism as an economic growth agenda for national prosperity. The two nations are competing to whom will dominate in their region. Their race affects American hegemony on a global scale.

Let us be clear, American global hegemony is what will prosper America in the coming centuries. In light of this concept America must continually evolve policy to match what is good for the American National Interest.

China is a Marxist nation. This is diametrically opposed to all America stands for. America stands for Liberty, Freedom (civil liberties and free thought of religion, philosophy and atheism) and the Pursuit of Happiness. China stands for dictatorship, managed economies and State Supremacy over its citizens (managed liberties and civil rights).

India is a Capitalist nation that stands for emerging civil rights and liberty. They have not achieved that by any means in their society, but it is a goal. And it is a noble goal. Nonetheless, India has been emergent as a competitor on the global level that has taken jobs from Americans. This counters American National Interests.

These are things the American public (because they are voters) and America's ruling elites (whether Democrat or Republican) must consider in future policy decisions.

With that in mind I received my inspiration in an article from (gasp!) Utne a liberal publication that discusses the emergence of competition to American hegemony.
