This article felt like an over-sized piece of sh*t stuck in my rectumm, refusing my laboured attempts to eject it.

Should the rest of the world be kneeling at the feet of the almighty, all perfect, and all righteous America?

If America is a paradise of angels, as this writer wants me to believe, then good for him. Pack up your “load” and move there. Permanently. (Assuming you’re not there already, which is most likely.)

Don’t forget that in 2008, many people went to church praying and fasting for Obama to win the presidential election; when he won, they called his victory a victory for Africa, God’s answer to Africa’s prayers.

How many of them are praising Obama today?

Even the Europeans who rushed to award him the Nobel Peace Prize, are regretting their premature action till this day. Try telling the Libyans and Yemenis about Obama’s peace!

The Germans in 2009 turned out en mass to greet Obama, but this week on his visit to Germany, 25,000 people turned out to protest against one of his biggest policies. Same thing anywhere he goes.

America is not your saviour. American interests will always be the priority of any US leader, whether it is in your interest or against your interest.

You call China’s currency a “mocking amusement”. The US dollar is already under attack, and has been losing its “market share” of global transactions for years now.

The Yuan is set to join the world’s basket of currencies in September this year.

The China of today is not the Japan of the ’80s. This time, the “economic challenge” is real. Japan ran out of steam when they reached saturation point, they just didn’t have the population (and other elements) to sustain that growth, so they flat-lined.

China still has 700 million people capable of still driving growth for far enough to nominally overtake America (they’ve already done that in PPP terms since 2012 or thereabout).

Just wandering my the Guardian would even publish a load of mindless praise-singing of this magnitude about a foreign country. Sounded like one well paid propagandist trying to do what he’s paid for.

Rubbish.
