Japan might turn into Switzerland - making very high value products with a highly trained labor force, having large financial reserves, low inherent growth. Home to a number of multinational corporations which manufacture mostly elswhere. Which is pretty much where it is now. Austrailia becomes the new Canada - a resourced based economy like it is now. China becomes the new USA, large, dynamic, but unified. Biggest problems will be stability in the Pacific region, especially Indonesia. The open questions - What happends to Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Phillipines, Borneo, Burma and the Koreas ? Especially the last three. I would expect that at some point China will want North Korea to be stabalized so to remove any "Northern Threat". Then all the threats will be to the south, and relatively distant.
