Asia's rise is not suprising, with 60% of the population and such. I just want to discuss the rise of other continents, such as Africa, who has a nice demographic future and mineral wealth.

Asia is just kinda different, it's more export and trade-oriented rather than consumer-oriented, which can explain its vast quantities of foreign imports. Also, European pre-eminence will not last forever, so will an Asian one, and I think that the upcoming century will be a rather multipolar one.
