Economically, I wouldn't say so. USA is still a huge factor in the global economic market, but China has us easily beat in GDP alone.
Influence? US has been influenced of nearly every other culture throughout its history. The US influencing the world is like the world influencing itself. Which is completely true, but it doesn't make the US the leader. |

| Pft, if I had enough brain cells to remember all the crap-wit stuff I've seen on this site, I'd have enough to memorize the Encyclopaedia Britannica and make a living winning game shows. |
