By the way, there is new deslination technology that condense water vapour from the sea naturally without alot of energy input from fosil fuel. The cost for this technology will just be the structure for the condensation. Water War can be avoided if this technology is further developed for large scale use. (source: discovery channel) Does anyone know more about this?
hello ppl, havent been on for ages. Anyway in 2050, there can be many situation
1. Chian becomes the most powerful
2. The breakage of China into different sub countries, ( like wat has happened MANY times) It is most likely cuase by Americanism and Infilitration of democracy.
3. Every1 is happy

I have heard a few times in other forumn regarding China breaking up to small countries. How will it break up? Which province will break up? and how will a country with complete control of its army and growing economy break up in the near future?

I think that at the rate technology is going, with computers and prosthetic limbs and cloning and nano tech etc. That in 50 years human kind will be in a new era of society. At some point this kind of technology will not be just to repair injured people, but it will be an enhancement of sorts. Just think of it, one day in 2050 you will be able to have these nano machines injected,yes I said injected, into your blood stream that will be able to repair you at the molecular level. Not only will they be able to fix you, they will make you see better, run faster stronger etc. There has already been multiple prototypes for prosthetic limbs being made for wounded soldiers and the tech has already been proven. Cloning is too beneficial to science and the human race not to pursue furthur and I can gurantee you that some country is spending millions if not billions of dollars on this tech, and there will be human cloning sometime in the not too distant future.
To make a long story short in 2050 I imagine things will look alot like a cross between Ghost in the Shell and that movie The Island. That is if we dont all kill eachother off between now and then

Wishful thinking in their part. They only think about that because of what the Soviet Union went through. They think the same with China.
Just like before Tom Clancy came out with the Bear and the Dragon, no one ever entertained the thought that China would invade Russia for resources. Now it's imminent!
China is not the Soviet Union. If it was, wouldn't China have collapsed already from the predictions of all the so-called "experts?" Or are they desperately waiting for some natural economic slow down to take all the credit?

I see nano technology being the next big paranoid scare like nuclear science went through and how cloning and genetically modified foods is going through now. I think people will be in fear of it and don't want it anywhere in medicine.
It's very unlikely China will break up, I would say zero chance.
Since Qin dynasty, China suffered breakup only twice, both were caused by "barbarian" invasion. First time it's in Jin dynasty, the conquered Hun rebelled and led to large scale other nomads invasion, the chaoes lasted 300 hundred years. Second time, it's caused by Khitan invasion after the collaspe of Tang, then Jin(the ancestor of Manchu), Song fought with them all the time but impossible to win, at the end it's Mongol that united China before being kicked out.
The late Ming situation almost led to Song story, the Manchu rebelled(yes, they rebel, not invade) caused the split of the country, but it only lasted 50 years before Manchu united China. So, we see
1) China itself never broke up, it is always caused by invasion of foreign powers. China itself remains united all the time even without the concept of nationalism, it's amazing.
2) The foreign power had to take a marginal area of China for significant time, to grow its strength and repel central government's effort to conquer them. But at the same time, they're sinolized.
Today, with the concept of nationalism introduced(in Sino-Japanese war), with the introduction of nuclear weapons, it can't happen again.

China did break up, though not culturally and linguistically. It did so in the one of the most famous periods of all---the Three Kingdoms Period. This was not due to any barbarian invasion, but rather each faction trying to claim legitimacy to the throne and to be the successor of the Han Dynasty. This split even mirrored the three main regional differences in China---North, West and South.
