Enjoy it while it lasts. It won't be long before you guys are licking China's arse. Oh wait, you already are.

Britain ruled over one quarter of the earth's dry land for 200 years under the world's wealthiest empire and created the legal systems of countless countries from the South Pacific, to sub-saharan Africa which still stand today. Compared to that, your legacy will pale into insignificance in a matter of decades.
