The criteria you use for global power -the age of Discovery and the era of Colonization are particular periods that I don't believe can be repeated by any nation let alone Asia. Those were eras that were dominated by an elite which saw many living in real poverty. Today the Americans seem to be preoccupied with projecting "power" militarily and the Chinese with the might of millions tied to overproduction. Our current models of growth are seriously faulty as they are not based on sustainable strategies. Visit Asia and see for yourself places like Shanghai which from the air look like New York and see the Western styles of housing and education in Singapore. China, India and Japan economically speaking already dwarf the West but their power is benign. So if you think that this dominance is similar to that of the West you would be wrong. Asia sees itself as just one part of a multi-polar world and not in terms of brute power. To answer your question- Asia (which is a lot of countries who are not united as one entity, like Europe) will never be a global power like America or Europe.
