Sure sounds like Asian _nationalism_, but the "leader****p" will
probably be in overpopulation, continued poverty among half of the
population, and lots of other highly imaginative, self-congratulatory
overestimations of the area's worth.
It is also an overestimation of "leader****p" of China and India as if
there was a "global economy" for those 18 centuries. China and India
did NOT dominate the global economy for all of those years. Only in
recent 1-2 centuries was there anything beyond a regional economy.
You make mountains out of ant hills.
