I do see China as the biggest threat to the US. They have taken capitalistic economic principles but applied them to a totalitarian government. The thing that I think might be their undoing is the fact that despite their growth, their population in general isn't feeling the effects. They are able to get the large growth by essentially screwing over their people in the world labor pool. I liken this attitude to the similar views that were said about Japan in the 1970-80's.
