The US will probably lose its military might when it loses its economic might.  Economists predict that China's economy will surpass that of the United States by 2050, so their military will surpass us around that time.  The Chinese have been great throught history though, hardly attacking other countries and always more concered about their peace and defense.

Are these the same economists who couldn't see far enough ahead in the future to stop the current financial crisis?

Seriously, such projections are just... downright silly.  Who knows what could happen during then.  I mean what's going to happen to China's government while all this economic progress is happening?

No, its actually just common sense since China's GDP grows at 10 percent a year and USA grows at 2 percent, not to mention that they have four times as many people.  Where any opinions could come in would be if or how China's lower GDP per capita in 2050 has an affect on its military efficiency.
