Is China Surpassing U.S. As A Superpower?

"People in the U.S. and China view each other with increasing suspicion, and many others around the world see the U.S. losing its place to China as the leading economic and political power, a new public opinion poll shows.

Chinese believe their country surpasses the U.S.

This recent poll shows that only 47 percent of Americans believe that the United States will continue to be the number one rated nation in the world.  In 2008, the percentage was at 54.  Two-thirds of Chinese believe their country has surpassed the United States, and 56 percent believe their country deserves more respect.
