China's innovation means it's winning, says investor
What will the world look like in the Chinese century?
It'll be "much less nice," emerging markets investor Antoine van Agtmael tells Ian Bremmer on GZERO World. A lot of that has to with tech innovation coming from a society in which thought is controlled.
China, he adds, is making remarkable progress and is close a breakthroughs on things like nuclear fusion or artificial intelligence.
For van Agtmael, China still faces many challenges. But he's optimistic about its chances of overcoming them to become a true global power.

How China is overtaking the US as top world power (according to an investor)
The 21st century kicked off with a more open China, hungry for foreign investment in the heyday of globalization. Things have changed since.
For emerging markets investor Antoine van Agtmael, China has become "much more closed, and [...] developed to have a real sense of itself as a world power." Meanwhile, the US has become more defensive about its global superpower status.
That means we're moving from the American century to the Chinese century, he tells Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.
Van Agtmael says that the US needs to get used to being No. 2 and China used to being No. 1. And that applies to military superiority, where America's edge is not as clear as before.
