<<< How have their sizes made India or China superpowers up to this point? Of course, they have not, because it is not a matter of human aggregation, but of the culture and infrastructure to create "human capital" and put it to productive use. These countries still have masses of people who are not even especially part of the modern world....>>>

China will have to fix a problem with language barriers to become a real superpower. Eight major dialects and hundreds of variations could prevent them from capitalizing on (using) the best minds available from all regions.
