I think the RMB exchange rate will have a lot to do with this. I'm in a labor intensive industry and if the RMB keeps increasing, China manufacturing will get hurt very hard. I believe a lot of this production can easily go to other countries such as Pakistan, India, Vietnam, etc. which are already competitive if not cheaper than China. My view is that there will be no one big manufacturing center, and that it will be dispersed to numerous countries. China will still be the largest as there is so much investment, equipment, labor supply, and infrastructure already developed.

Replying to [edjjhsu]:I believe it could be Africa as they have the raw materials and cheap labour. The question remains whether they have the political stability?

My 2 bob's worth ... 20 years from now ...
1. China (and so far in front, there will be no contest for the remainder of this century).
2. India.
3. Brazil.
4. Indonesia.
I think by 2050, China will effectively "own" the world.

Dear edjjshu,
Let us not also forget that "Free Trade Agreements" between ASEAN countries is another big factor that will determine the future epicentres and market forces.
For Example, India is entering a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Malaysia and Indonesia after sucessfully doing it with Thailand and partially with Singapore.
Like the EU, there is a big possibility of a common currencies becoming a global trend for regional blocks and one day we could see a common currency for the Asian Countries including China and India.
This model is going to be adopted by the middle east countries as their trading blocks, NAFTA (for americas) as successfully demonstrated by the european EU.
Now, as it is seen that the biggest trade happens within the Trade Block, the biggest business coming to Asian countries would be from Asian Countries only. As we see happening in European Economy.
So the Asian Countries cannot neglect the Asian countries as consolidated global trading between blocks will take place for sure.

No prize for guessing what 4 billion Chinese would say about that!!
Correction: Delete "say" insert "think".
Chinese would be too polite to say what they really thought about that little gem.
