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. To that end, several corner stones should be laid to underpin a de-Americanized world. For starters, all nations need to hew to the basic principles of the international law, including respect for sovereignty, and keeping hands off domestic affairs of others. Furthermore, the authority of the United Nations in handling global hotspot issues has to be recognized. That means no one has the right to wage any form of military action against others without a UN mandate. 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. And among all options, it is suggested that the beltway politicians first begin with ending the pernicious impasse. Editor: Hou Qian Poster Comment: start considering building a de-Americanized world. de-Zionized would be more accurate because US foreign policy is subservient to Israeli interests since most of the US Congress as well as leading presidential candidates are indebted to the Israeli lobby for organizational and financial support at election time. Also much of the banking/financial system is in the hands of the Jews whose interests are primarily with London bankers and Tel Aviv. encouraging regime-change in nations that it deems hardly Washington-friendly. hardly Israel-friendly is more accurate. All of the nations recently attacked or in America's "bad books" have been those seeking to help Palestinians regain lands taken by illegal armed force by Israeli Jews but the same nations would be most happy maintain good relations with America in order to utilize its technological expertise, high quality devices/machines as well as its markets. Balkanization of Israeli enemies allows Israel to keep expanding in the Middle East. United States has declared that it has vital national interests to protect in nearly every corner of the globe The only vital national interests being protected are the sinecures Congress members enjoy from getting elected by the election campaign efforts of the Israeli lobby as well as the Jew-controlled media (which incidentally gets big advertising bucks from fund-raising by Jew duals). American business is now mature enough to deal adequately abroad except in areas where US aggression (on Israel's behalf) has made it too dangerous for them to operate.

A reply to this article: http://peoplespunditdaily.com/20...all-de-americanize-world/ China is a hypocrite. While I'd be the first to admit that America has a serious case of bad warts, I'm taken aback that a communist evil regime like China - a country that has a very serious case of terrible warts -has the chutzbah to sit on high and criticize America. Are you f'ing kidding me? Buy a humility clue, why don't you, China? This is a case of pot calling kettle black.
If Chang and China want the world to take them seriously, then they should focus more on the lack of reverence China has for a U.N. mandate before they provocatively fire over the Sino-Indian border; or, before they fire on a weaker filipino power over disputed islands; or, his own hypocrisy for ignoring the “basic principles of the international law” he claims to hold in such high regard, while his nation attacks a dozen Asian neighbors over control of an area the international law of the seas deemed outside China’s sovereign borders.

Chinese leaders have been stressing peaceful settlement of South China Sea dispute over control: BEIJING, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's call for properly handling the South China Sea issue during a series meetings of East Asian leaders has resonated widely in the region. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak commended China for its commitment to resolve the disputes through peaceful negotiation. "With China's commitment, the claimant states should now be committed to resolving matters peacefully through negotiations," he told Malaysian reporters during this week's East Asian meetings in the Bruneian capital of Bandar Seri Begawan. Najib also said Malaysia is open to China's suggestion to jointly develop the area pending a final settlement. "We are prepared to pursue this with China but what is more important now is that no one should use force or threat over the South China Sea," said the prime minister. Bruneian Sultan Hassanai Bolkiah said his country, which is one claimant in the South China Sea disputes, agrees with China to stay committed to seeking peaceful settlement via dialogue and consultation and preventing the issue from undermining the China-ASEAN friendship and cooperation. In a commentary issued on Thursday, the English-language Brunei Times said Li's "lighthearted" speech brought "warmth and heartfelt camaraderie to ASEAN countries" from across the disputed South China Sea. It noted that the Chinese premier envisions the South China Sea to be a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation that will help propel the region's economy to the next level. Li had also assured ASEAN countries that China is ready to continue to work with other countries in the region to uphold freedom and safety of navigation in the South China Sea, it added. Singapore's largest Chinese-language newspaper Lianhe Zaobao cited Li's metaphor on the importance of cooperation. People in many East Asian countries use chopsticks, "he whoever has had experience with chopsticks understands that one single chopstick won't do the work of putting food in the mouth," Li said. "To do the work, a pair of chopsticks are needed. And when a bunch of chopsticks are tied together, they won't break easily," Li said. The commentary said Li's illustration stresses the urgency of all participating states at the forum, which share responsibility for regional security and stability, to unite for maintaining peace in the region. Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung was quoted by the Vietnam News Agency on Thursday as saying that he believes with strong political will and past successes, the ASEAN-China strategic partnership will develop in both width and depth, contributing to peace, stability and common development in the region.
