So to reiterate what you are saying ... China doesn't need to import anything?? lol... and economy is the only factor? Lets talk GDP then and the size of each relative economy. Also lets talk about the ability to manufacture. That was an ignorant comment. We use china because it is cheaper. Do you really think we have the inability to manufacture goods here? Please explain... and also is that the only factor you are considering? economy?
As far as most powerful in history, yes. By far. But the world is much more populated these days and technology and travel allow for a much further reach than any other period in world history... disagree?
