World Economy

With this week's interaction with my Chinese guests came the news that some economic analysts have predicted that the Chinese economy will surpass the US economy in 2016.  Yes, as I have been saying, the English language will be peppered with borrowed Chinese words by 2030.  It's simply a necessity--a language must adapt in order to continue its life term.  As I glance through the news of Prince William's royal wedding, I remember how Britain, as a superpower, was overtaken by the United States, and how China just recently derailed Japan as the world's second largest economy.  I wonder what's up for the Philippines then?  More 168 malls?  My sisters will just love that..... hehehe.....
