Unless we give up and conclude that some countries will remain poor and under-developed for ever, the benchmark is population (and natural resources).

The US are particularly powerful because they are both developed and have a large population. Same for Germany in Europe.

Based on that, I don't see why China and India should remain behind the US, even if there'll of course be bumps in the road.

Pakistan, Nigeria, and a host of other countries have large populations.

Education and wealth matter a lot. If China can spread this out, then we'll be talking. As it stands, their educated middle class is very concentrated.

Among them only China scores a three digits number on an important metrics. The implication of this is controversial but can’t be discarded lightly.
