It was the West, then Japan and now China...where next?

Just a thought…

You know how back in the days where everyone here is looking to the west, seeing it as the ultimate destination for everything – business, vacation, culture etc. And we silly Asians started adapting the weirdest things like fur coat in Asia (what the hell for?) and cowboy themed parties and everyone go Goo Goo Gaa Gaa about boot cut jeans and walking around with a boom box on their shoulder...


Then Asia boomed with Japan leading it with state of the art technology.  And then suddenly it is okay to dress in neon colors and the skimpier the sexier… They even made Anime Convention sexy!


The whole world embraced it. Top trading around the world includes Japanese cars and parts, Sony!, Japanese Anime and not to forget porn… You even see bits and pieces of Japanese pop culture here and there around the world….which bring me to this question.

Today, with the fall of Europe and The States just surviving after its crisis…. All eyes are on the hardly have eyes people – China!


Do you think the world will embrace China’s culture like how they did Japanese? They are the most typical man on earth today...as portrayed by Nat Geo (Video is linked to image)


Imagine this. People across the globe glued to TV watching what USED to be American Idol and vote for something like this….


Not so much isn’t it? Now, here’s another food for thought….

In a decade or two, India will be taking the lead. How do you think it will pan out then? Personally, I think it’s too soon for me to judge but there’s a very nice video put up on Youtube call ‘Indian in 90sec’(Video is linked to image)


Excited about the future yet?
