China's official news agency on Sunday said the world should consider 'de-Americanizing' the international financial system, amid the continuing threat of a US default.

As a political stalemate persists over the US government's budget and debt ceiling debate, experts warn of terrible consequences for the world economy if the US defaults.

China has previously issued repeated warnings about the danger of a US default because of the threat to Chinese investments in the US.

"As US politicians of both political parties (fail to find a) viable deal to bring normality to the body politic they brag about, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanised world," the commentary on Xinhua said.

"Such alarming days when the destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be terminated,” the news agency added.

1. USA - race to the bottom.

2. I'd bet they'd like to see our military halved as well

To pull out of Korean and Japan leaving them in control of Asia. The nearest major base we'd have would be Guam. If North Korea fell, they'd annex it just like the Japanese did to most of Asia. I've actually had Chinese tell me they believe most of North Korea historically belongs to China.

3. I'd like to see that too. Albeit, I don't have a Wal*Mart crystal ball that projects paranoia.

China is a member of the global community and respectful of international norms. That is why they have such a small military by comparison to the USA. It should be even smaller after the USA halves theirs.

4. There we go.

China is only too ready to step up while we continue to squabble about race.
