I think real innovation is most likely to come from China. For example, they plan to build a 220 story tall sky scraper in 90 days: (http://gizmodo.com/5962070/china-will-build-the-tallest-building-in-the-world-in-just-90-days http://gizmodo.com/5962070/china-will-build-the-tallest-buil...). They've also been building a massive high speed rail network over vast distances throughout China. I think with these feats they want to establish themselves as a super power that can take on the U.S, as well as to improve their infrastructure. I think it's a good thing, as peaceful competition between nations has always lead to benefits for the world in general.
