However I agree with you that It won't be happening any time soon.
And if it does, God help us, stash you savings under your mattresses.
Hint: google key words "China banks misconduct".
LOL i will buy extra mattresses just in case

In terms of power as a city I would say Singapore as they are an independent city state and are able to control their own destiny much more so then any other city, which is subject to a higher national authority. Washington DC while a lot of power is centered there the city government and the city itself holds almost no power as is the case with most cities. After all how many cities other then Singapore have their own armies.

In terms of prestige, finance, or the arts I think New York and London are dominant.
