Chinese state news agency wants a 'de-Americanized world'
[url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/indepth/2013-10/13/c_132794246.htm]here's what they had to say[/url]
I see where they are coming from but dang; I'm going to hold my tongue and see where this goes.
Thoughts and opinions?

They just want to be #1. Which would be bad...

Of course they do. It's they want to take the place of the US.

1 ReplyThis has actually already begun. After the revelations of the NSA spying on everyone (monitoring Internet backbones, breaking into and stealing data from Chinese Universities, etc...), a number of countries have really stepped-up against it. Brazil, for example, has called it a [url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/24/brazil-president-un-speech-nsa-surveillance]breach of international law[/url] (their president also [url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/17/brazil-president-snub-us-nsa]refused to meet with Obama[/url]), [url=http://www.thelocal.de/sci-tech/20131014-52385.html]German telecommunication companies want to use domestic-only connections for email processing[/url], [url=http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2013_07_27/Mass-protest-in-Germany-against-US-intelligence-surveillance-5818/]international protests have taken place[/url], and companies, like mega.co.nz, are beginning to move away from using the US as their HQ to avoid all of this. Just today there was also more Snowden-related material released which showed the NSA has been [url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-collects-millions-of-e-mail-address-books-globally/2013/10/14/8e58b5be-34f9-11e3-80c6-7e6dd8d22d8f_story.html?Post+generic=%3Ftid%3Dsm_twitter_washingtonpost]stealing hundreds of millions of contact lists[/url] globally (also including US citizens), and apparently [url=http://world.time.com/2013/10/14/greenwald-on-snowden-leaks-the-worst-is-yet-to-come/]there is even worse stuff still to be revealed[/url]. So I'm not really sure how anyone can be surprised at or cannot understand the motivations behind the international community's reactions to these things.

america is stinky poo poo

Praise the Sun!

1 ReplyOf course they do. How else will China become the No. 1 superpower? What's ironic is that the things that news agency has accused the Americans of doing to become the leading superpower are the exact same things the Chinese government is doing now.

Good. The rest of the world sees that America is heading for collapse, and don't want to get fuked in the ass over it. This seems completely reasonable to me, but of course America won't stand for it because that means handing over the power.

Nuke 'Muricah from orbit.

13 RepliesSo do most sane people on the planet. The less 'Murika the better, America could be a really nice fellow on the world stage if it didn't simultaneously have it's head up it's arse and in everyone else's business.
-
Bomb America.

Here are my thoughts

And you thought we were jerks. Wait till you get a Chinese boss. Those hour long lunches and going home at six are out the door.
-
Me too.

Read the article. Brings up some valid points, actually.

3 RepliesIn other news the sky often appears to be Blue, the American Military is the most powerful military in the world, Africa is still a continent, and Oxygen proves yet again to be a valuable asset to life on earth. More on that at 11. *AwayPanningShot* *NoSound* *SitsAtDeskShufflingPapersAndTalkingWithCoHost*

4 RepliesWhat do they mean? Less cultural or military influence. Military is a run by idiots but least they hold the commies at bay. 90% of american TV is crap though.
-
I don't really like the over the top level of control America seems to have on the world, but China obviously wants to take America's place as the number one super power, and that would just be worse.

3 Replies[quote]the United States has since then been trying to build a global empire by imposing a postwar world order[/quote]Stopped reading right there. Obvious propaganda is obvious.

1 ReplyI want a "De-Americanized World" also.

3 RepliesEvery Empire falls and a new nation fills the void left by it. America was more than happy to force the European Empires to break up and yet Americans claim there cannot be a non Americanized world? If the World can survive without British rule then American dominance can go as well. The US Government has done nothing beneficial to anybody, treating it's allies like enemies and playing by it's own set of rules while giving everybody else a different set of rules to play by. And if you don't play a long? 300 bombs later and we have a new player.

Some smart ideas and notions were said, but also some really stupid ones too.

Americanization isn't a good thing.
