Kenneth J. Hammond Professor of History at New Mexico State University: “Will India surpass China to become the next superpower!” While India may have become the most populous country on earth it is hardly on track to become any kind of superpower. But perhaps more troubling is the idea that a country which develops economically must inevitably devote that development to becomng some kind of “power”. China is not seeking to replace the U.S. as the dominant power in global affairs, just to be able to develop a sustainable economy capable of enhancing the lives and livelihood of its people. If its system of socialism with market features proves to be attractive to other countries, especially all those which were exploited by global capitalist imperialism, so much the better. But that is not the same as projecting power and browbeating others into subordination to a system of wealth extraction. 新墨西哥州立大學歷史學教授肯尼思·J·哈蒙德：“印度會超越中國，成為下一個超級大國嗎？” 雖然印度可能已經成為地球上人口最多的國家，但它很難成為任何超級大國。 但也許更令人不安的是，一個經濟發展的國家必然將這種發展致力於成為某種“強國”。 中國並不尋求取代美國成為全球事務的主導力量，只是為了能夠發展可持續的經濟，改善人民的生活和民生。 如果其具有市場特徵的社會主義制度對其他國家，特別是那些被全球資本主義帝國主義剝削的國家具有吸引力，那就更好了。 但這與投射權力並威逼他人屈服於財富榨取體係不同.
