[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,230927]"This is the Aerican point of view, man!
According to it - if USA are doing something like this - it is normal. If China is doing 1/100 of this it is already "bad", "cruel", etc.
It is a simple propaganda."

I never said that. I hold America to the same standards I hold every other country. But I agree: America has the world's largest, most advanced arsenal and sees nothing wrong with, for example, developing new nuclear weapons in direct contravention of international law, and yet cries foul when China modernises its own military. I would say this is the pot calling the kettle black, but China's military budget, technology, capabilities and ambitions don't even come close to matching America's.

Anyway, judging by your second post, we're pretty much in agreement on this issue. Well, I'm not sure about Turkey, but I certainly agree the EU and US are worried about losing their status and power.

What I hope is that China doesn't copy America and swagger around like an arrogant bully-boy cowboy. That'll drive everybody away: The last thing any of us wants is another America. Fortunately, even though it has a couple of public relations nightmares on its hands (Darfur, for example) China's doing a pretty good job of winning hearts and minds, and I believe China will continue its peaceful rise.[/quote]
