As long as it doesn't explode into pieces, I'll probably be adequately prepared for a Mad Max style neo-apocalyptic world!
Besides, time-traveller John Titor, who the interweb tells us visited us from the year 2036 to pick up an antique IBM computer, says that South America will be fine after World War 3. So we can always go there. :P
After all the anticipation of doomsday, the future turned out to be disappointingly undramatic after all, except for the adult diapers. They ended up being an unexpected driving force in consumer goods. :) Also life expectancy increased by more than 50-70% but health care demand actually went down instead of increasing. Europe and North America actually stayed predominately white and westernized despite previous predictions, although the face of white America got a little darker. The economy actually did not improve much since the crash in 2008 but we somehow adjusted.
Anything we can do, the Chinese do it only more cheaply and efficiently. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, anything in China is going to be big. That means Christians too.
China despite all it's increasing pollution is ALSO the biggest consumer of green technologies. They buy by far the most solar panels, LED lights, and so on...
But yeah.... I was involved with a mainly Korean methodist congregation years ago. They sang all the same hymns too except it was in Korean. I went to the English speaking service with my grandmother who wasn't korean.
The Koreans couldn't say Jesus so it came out sounding more like Jegeuch. Of course they also ate Korean food at the church potluck too.
I wonder if the Chinese christians also sing the same western hymns as well.
My knowledge of Korea mostly comes from their obsessive online computer-game tournament culture, and the excellent'There She Is' anti-racism anthro cartoons. Their music sounds lovely, even in Korean.

I guess the Amish are way ahead of us on this one.
