What some Chinese were saying during the Washington budget farce was rather more direct:
"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."
And their remedy?
"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."
"Apart from that, the world's financial system also has to embrace some substantial reforms."
"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."
And the purpose of all this?
"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."
"To that end, several corner stones should be laid to underpin a de-Americanized world."
Just a couple of days later, several opeds started to openly call on world leaders and China in particular to 'Dump the dollar'.
