world will mostly run the same until 2050. By then China will have overtaken the USA in terms of influence around the world. By then the USA people will have a completely isolationist policy similar to pre world war I. China will retake Taiwan with relatively little objections and become the new global police state to influence countries for its own benefits. Within 20 years China will become the new "lone superpower." Eventually the have nots in China will start a series of reform that help the common Chinese people. Within 80 years these policies will end up bankrupting the nation as it becomes unimaginably expensive for the entire population to have a good quality life they demand. Once the decline begins, a new country will take over as the lone superpower of the world.
In summary, things will be like they have been for the past millennium, with a new country becoming the most influential every one to two centuries.
