Summarize this article for a 10 years old
A potential superpower is a state or other polity that is speculated to be—or to have the potential to soon become—a superpower.
Currently, only the United States fulfills the criteria to be considered a superpower.[1] However, the United States is no longer the only uncontested foremost superpower and the world's sole hyperpower to dominate in every domain (i.e. military, culture, economy, technology, diplomatic).[2][3][4][5]
Since the 1990s, China,[6][7] the European Union,[8] India,[9][10] and Russia[11] have been described as potential superpowers. Japan was formerly considered a potential superpower due to its high economic growth.[12][13][14] However, its status as a potential superpower has eroded since the 1990s due to an aging population and economic stagnation.[15]
