US Default 2013: China Calls For De-Americanized World, Worried For Its Treasury Bonds
http://www.ibtimes.com/us-default-2013- ... ds-1424412

The U.S. hasn't acted responsibly in its leading position in the world, the commentary said, and 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.”

Since the U.S. hasn't brought about “real, lasting peace,” China believes that several steps should be taken to get the world ready for de-Americanization. First, nations should respect sovereignty, and keep out of other nations’ domestic affairs, and only the United Nations should be handling global hotspot issues. In other words, individual nations shouldn't wage military action against others without a U.N. mandate.

Aside from politics, the world’s financial system also has to be reformed, the commentary continued. Developing economies need more say in major international financial institutions, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and a new international reserve currency should be introduced to replace the U.S. dollar.

What have monkeys got to do with religion??

They destroyed so many countries just to keep their petrodollar circulating and now they are hoisted by their own petard from the debt they've accrued. A sick nation without a functioning health service. Steinbeck country. Back to the slave trade ...

Meanwhile, we have the new world currency, the Euro.

I didn't expect such a mistake from an ES grad.

They could've used a different word but maybe the author wanted that bit of spice in the story.

It's not a mistake. It's got two meanings.

No, it's primate (monkey) vs. Primate (bishop).

"...It’s been a banner month for the ORACLES of American decline. The shutdown of the federal government, the prospect of a default on the country’s debt, and the political dysfunction that made the United States seem rudderless on Syria and forced the cancellation of President Obama’s trip to Asia seemed to confirm that the end of American preeminence is finally upon us..."

"...At the same time, the United States is experiencing a turnaround of fortunes. The unemployment rate has fallen to just over 7 percent from an October 2009 peak of 10 percent. By contrast, euro-zone unemployment remains stuck...."

"..The U.S. fiscal picture is also looking up. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the annual budget deficit will drop below $650 billion in 2013, the smallest shortfall since 2008 and approximately half the size it was in 2011. Meanwhile, the dollar remains the world’s top reserve currency.

Even more transformative, the United States is experiencing an energy revolution that the McKinsey Global Institute estimates could add as much as 4 percent to annual GDP and create up to 1.7 million new jobs by 2020. America is poised to overtake Russia as the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas, and there are signs that low-cost and abundant energy is driving a revival of the U.S. manufacturing industry. Although the United States will have an enduring interest in stable global energy prices, it will no longer rely on direct and uncertain access to Middle Eastern oil, in sharp contrast to energy-starved countries in Asia.

In terms of hard power, the U.S. military is at the forefront of next-generation technologies, including unmanned systems, robotics and lasers. Even more superior than its hardware is its software: the command and control systems to conduct highly advanced joint operations and major wars...."

..compare the above advantages of the usa, to that of the eu. The Eu facing harsh economic realities cannot even solve political problems within its own borders i.e....the Cyprus problem either militarily or politically. The weakness of the Eu will linger for a long time to come..
