I'm confused, i was when this was first posted but figured whatever, since DAYV called out the 'math' and Shimraa is defending it, i feel the need to ask for clarification.
sybeman's comment (taken at face value) would mean that China has been a super power for 1600 of the last 2000 years, the last 2000 years would go from 6 A.D. to 2006 A.D. I assume the 1600 years he refers to would be the previous ones, so from the year 406 A.D. they were a super power. That last part might be a wrong interpretation, but the point still makes sense.
Then Shimraa responds with (gonna break this down into parts):
naw : simple, he disagrees with sybeman (the first post on the subject and the one right before his)
i would say from 500 - 1500 : confusing. is this 500 - 1500 years that you think they are a super power? given the context of what is being replied to, that would be a logical assumption. from later statements, it would seem he's talking about 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D.
then now : ok, i generally understand shimraaese but can we get a coma or something here. then now means pretty much nothing. Apparently, from later comments, then now is the past 10 years, how anyone can get that from the above statement is beyond me.
so thats a total of 1010 years : ok, well this makes sense, after later posts. but in the context of the original post, its a number pulled out of thin air.
posting this seemed to straighten the post out for me (still dont know how 'now' is 10 years, i always thought now was now, didnt realize now was a 10 year span)
but still gonna have to agree with DAYV, 'Nice Math'

I hate when people say that China is "fast becoming a global super-power." China has been a "super-power" for, easily, 1600 of the last 2000 years. Jeez
