India maybe another rising power but it has more problems and will take some time to play a big part. On the other hand China is already there. Regardless, Asia united is better than individual ego. The West of course would like to see division.

Rob is absolutely right, its India that will help the western countries. India can produce better product and services then China, Made in India is far much better than Made in China
Amit , New Delhi, India
Not China but India will be our saviour as it is not a totalitarian state but a paragon of democracy which rivals the West if not better.They are highly educated as shown by us moving our call-centres there and we receive excellent service from them when we call our banks.They see themselves in us.

Jean, u don't make me laugh. Manufacture your own goods. At the kind of pay rates u lazy lots r getting whom r u going to sell to. Go make your own cars 4 a start and u can even sell to yourself. China's shoddy goods, who asked u to buy? Even your Queen's underwear is made in China.
R s f Chai, Kuching, Malaysia
China is a threat to the worldbecause of its totalitarian government,its nuclear aims,its brutal policies in Tibet and its friendship with African dictators
I think we should be manufacturing our own goods again,as we read China has a poor safety record,produces shoddy goods and allows no dissent.
Jean , London, England
China's taking off wouldn't be a threat of the western economy. On the contrary, the recovery of the world's economy can benefit much from it.
