Probably but not likely. But I won't be surprised if investors in the west finally decide that the risks of doing business in China far outweigh any benefits.

In 2009, the Chinese economy will grow due to government spending and not consumer demand growth. The Chinese government is remarkably protectionist and its procurement principles are extraordinarily opaque - giving undue advantage to Chinese firms. So its unlikely that American, European and Japanese multinationals will benefit from its growth in the coming years. Might as well pack up and leave while you can.

Interestingly, India is also poised to take over China’s place as most populous nation, if it hasn’t already.

China is communist and India is not. I don't know the nature of India's government but it seems to promote individual business so I expect that India can outdo China.

I sure that all the US dollars being shippied bacck to India by H1-B visa holders is helping that growth.
