     T he way I see it there are 2 competing forces in the world to day for world domination. the first is the United Nations , the developer of agenda 21 , and seeker of a consolidated world power structure often referred to as The New World Order;  The 2nd is The People's Republic of China.  China's GDP grew from $150 billion in 1978 to $12.24 trillion by 2017 and also seek world domination through their fast growing power structure.  China is regularly hailed as a " potential" new superpower , with certain commentators citing its rapid economic progress, growing military might, very large population, and increasing international influence as signs that it will play a  prominent global role  in this,the 21st century.

Industrial strategy, devolution and public investment. Stian Westlake offers up a fairy tale. of 2017. Share: When Britain voted to leave the European Union, few people expected it would result in the UK becoming more like Germany, the country that runs the European show. But that’s what ended up happening, and it was in 2017 that the process really began. Industrial strategy was the first step. Theresa May’s government decided that Britain’s ever-increasing trade deficit was a luxury that the UK, as an independent nation, could no longer afford.
