INDIA
India has one of the youngest populations around the world, they have over 1.3 billion people and over 50% of them are under 25. They have an educated workforce and we've seen several silicon valley’s pop up throughout the country. Over the next decade or two, India will be in a great position to propel itself into a global superpower. While all eyes will be on China the next few years, India could be the biggest beneficiary of their success. Currently the old powers of the West are trying to become less reliant on China's manufacturing, in order to do that you need a replacement and India is perfect. Not only do they have the manufacturing infrastructure in place to handle major operations, but in many cases they can create products cheaper than China. The time is now to elevate the quality of life and global position of India. But if they ever want to challenge China for that number one spot, following their footsteps isn’t enough. They need to create better technology, faster than China, if they ever want to catch up and surpass them as the next great superpower.

SINGAPORE Location, location, location. As we go through this reset and global superpowers are fighting for position, Singapore has been blessed with several things. First the location is key, China and most of SE Asia needs to go thru the Singapore strait for the fastest route to Central Asia, Africa and vice versa. The second factor is Hong Kong. With China fully absorbing Hong Kong and taking control of their financial system, it has opened the door for another Asian city to replace it as the premier financial centre. Over the pass couple decades Singapore has rose into a major financial hub, but with this current anti-China approach from America and its allies, this will force companies to establish themselves in a new country and Singapore is perfect. It’s already established as a global hub, and they speak english. Some could say that Singapore is already close to reaching it peak, but I think that they’ll be the beneficiary a lot of growth in the region. As Central and Southeast Asia continue to grow and their economies take on bigger roles in the global economy, Singapore will be sitting right in the middle, reaping the benefits
