...in which other nations lead the world

there will be specific areas or skills in which other nations lead the world

From the Google's Dictionary: https://www.google.com/search?q=lead&oq=lead&aqs=chrome..69i59j69i60j69i57j0l2.4803j0j7&client=tablet-android-samsung&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 (under the entry "lead" subparagraph 4.)


The modal "will" put the whole situation described in the clause above into the future time. But the simple present "lead" in the subordinate clause seems to refer also to the present (now).

My question is: is "lead" used in a sort of narrative present in that clause or is it enough to use "will" once there to imply that it refers to the verb "lead" as well?

tkacka15 is it enough to use "will" once there to imply that it refers to the verb "lead" as well? This one, I would say. It would not actually be wrong to repeat "will" before "lead", but it doesn't seem necessary.
