When the Chinese government has something serious on its mind it often lets the world know through its official news agencies such as Xinhua.
As Washington plodded ever closer to Thursday's debt ceiling crisis, Xinhua published an eye-opening editorial that went largely unmentioned in the Western media. The thrust was that America has become a murderous, rogue state that cannot responsibly handle its own affairs much less lead the rest of the world. And then it came - the threat to topple the U.S. greenback as the world's reserve currency.
...it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world.
Emerging from the bloodshed of the Second World War as the world's most powerful nation, the United States has since then been trying to build a global empire by imposing a postwar world order, fueling recovery in Europe, and encouraging regime-change in nations that it deems hardly Washington-friendly.
With its seemingly unrivaled economic and military might, the United States has declared that it has vital national interests to protect in nearly every corner of the globe, and been habituated to meddling in the business of other countries and regions far away from its shores.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has gone to all lengths to appear before the world as the one that claims the moral high ground, yet covertly doing things that are as audacious as torturing prisoners of war, slaying civilians in drone attacks, and spying on world leaders.
Under what is known as the Pax-Americana, we fail to see a world where the United States is helping to defuse violence and conflicts, reduce poor and displaced population, and bring about real, lasting peace.
Moreover, instead of honoring its duties as a responsible leading power, a self-serving Washington has abused its superpower status and introduced even more chaos into the world by shifting financial risks overseas, instigating regional tensions amid territorial disputes, and fighting unwarranted wars under the cover of outright lies.
As a result, the world is still crawling its way out of an economic disaster thanks to the voracious Wall Street elites, while bombings and killings have become virtually daily routines in Iraq years after Washington claimed it has liberated its people from tyrannical rule.
...Most recently, the cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising debt ceiling has again left many nations' tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonized.
Such alarming days when the destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be terminated, and a new world order should be put in place, according to which all nations, big or small, poor or rich, can have their key interests respected and protected on an equal footing.
...Apart from that, the world's financial system also has to embrace some substantial reforms.
The developing and emerging market economies need to have more say in major international financial institutions including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, so that they could better reflect the transformations of the global economic and political landscape.
What may also be included as a key part of an effective reform is the introduction of a new international reserve currency that is to be created to replace the dominant U.S. dollar, so that the international community could permanently stay away from the spillover of the intensifying domestic political turmoil in the United States.
Of course, the purpose of promoting these changes is not to completely toss the United States aside, which is also impossible. Rather, it is to encourage Washington to play a much more constructive role in addressing global affairs.
Not an outright declaration of war by any means but a sharp enough rebuke to suggest that China thinks it's time to end the sole-superpower's reign.

The U.S. could hold rank and close their borders. They can extradite whatever immigrants, they think undesirable. They always go to their buy American plan, to their own citizens. The U.S. says, they can sustain themselves. The U.S. produces enough to look after themselves. The U.S. also has, a huge oil field to develop.
As far as Canada? Harper has handed Canada over to Communist China already.
who is china to preach to the U.S.A. OR any other country. the u.s.a. and china are each as bad as the other, just in different ways.
china wants a new world order all right, with them at the top. They already own Canada with complements of stevie slime.
