Ya I do too there's lots of interesting facts about our world. Btw I have no doubt
China will surpass the US as a global economic and military power within the next 20-50 years. Time's are getting more interesting my friends there are serious issues around the world that can cause great events to happen (and by great I mean size not necessarily good).
And its funny India has more honours students than the US has students.

Wait, you think that the world currency will be the renminbi in 20-50 years?

You mean Yuan? And not necessarily the world currency because as we have seen China likes to keep their currency value low (for economic reasons). However, they will be a bigger power house with more capital than the U.S. I mean they can make or break the U.S. right now as it is. The U.S. relies on China to buy their Bonds just to stay afloat. And not to mention the over $10, 000, 000, 000, 000 U.S. debt and with the deficit going to be over $1 trillion that number is growing easily.

Well think about it the total population of India is around 1.2 billion and the U.S. population is around 320 million so pretty much India has 4 times the number of people which means a lot more students.

If I remember correctly, the video extrapolates a statistic to make the assumption that India has more honor students than there are American students. Technically, based on quality of life and the amount of funds available to the average Indian student, I would argue that there are more potential honour students in India, not actual honor students.

The Yuan is a value of the Renminbi currency (I think). Yeah, the US has ridiculous debt. I don't think they will EVER pay it off.
There were talks of the world currency changing, not sure where that led to though.
