China's official news agency says the world should consider
'de-Americanising' in the wake of the US shutdown and looming debt
crisis.
A commentary by state news agency Xinhua says "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."
In a lengthy polemic against American
hegemony since World War two, it added: "Such alarming days when the
destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be
terminated.
"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."
Negotiations
over how to end the budgetary impasse have shifted to the US Senate
after House Representatives failed to strike a deal with President Obama
on extending borrowing authority ahead of a October 17 deadline.
Beijing
has in recent days issued warnings as well as appeals for a deal, all
the while emphasising the inseparable economic ties that bind the
world's two biggest economies.
