The United States just reached a population mark of 300,000,000 people. It's sort of hard to believe for most Americans, but it might seem like nothing to the Chinese who have an approximate 1.3 Billion people (a billion more then us). Luckily, our population is growing at a steady and healthy rate compared to European nations who have been loosing populations steadily for quite some time. Competition from Europe, in terms of population at least, is not a problem. Asia is a different story. I truly believe there, indeed, is strength in numbers. While China is rapidly industrializing, the United States might face another Superpower on the playing field. My advice to the world is to stop nationalistic bickering and united in solidarity for the advancement of human civilization, while simultaneously preserving cultural identity, pride, and history.
