Chinese president Xi Jinping has vowed for the first time that China should take the lead in shaping the “new world order” and safeguarding international security, one of the latest moves putting him in stark contrast to Donald Trump and the US president’s “America First” policy.

The two biggest dogs always fight. My money would once have been on America, but now that it is a land of milquetoasts and pantywaists my bookmaker favours the Chinese guy.

China is not capable of leading a new world order. Nor is America.
Neither have a perfect human rights record in recent times, and that is a must for any nation seeking to install itself as the worlds policeman. I would suggest that no nation exists, other than perhaps Bhutan, which has the moral foundation necessary to install itself in that position. That is to say, there is no nation with the financial and military resources necessary to perform such a role, which is also fit to fill the position from a moral standpoint. Best leave that idea in the dust, where it belongs.

The real war and the real players are slowly showing their true colors - the veil masking the 2-party deception is slowly being lifted and folks are starting to see the massive powers that are colluding to work against the betterment of average Joe by way of consolidating everything we need to survive on this god forsaken rock for themselves.
The current global political and banking system does not benefit any of us, not by a long shot, it has beholden us all to a mental slavery, of which conformity to X or Y has become the dog-whistle and "those that disagree are surely against me"
Sad
Theresa May will say that Britain and America can “rediscover our confidence” and “lead together again” in the wake of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump.
The Prime Minister will address the annual congressional Republican Retreat in Philadelphia and say that the UK and USA will “renew the Special Relationship” now that President Trump is in the White House.
...
The two leaders will hold talks in the Oval Office and are expected to discuss plans for a major post-Brexit trade deal.

China Presses Tech Firms to Police the Internet
Nov. 18, 2016
Picture an internet where tech companies are deputized as crime-fighters, where censors keep radical views in check and where governments work together to achieve global order in cyberspace. That is China’s vision, and its third-annual World Internet Conference that ended Friday was aimed at proselytizing that view to tech executives and government leaders who assembled here from around the world. China’s efforts to promote its concept of the internet had fresh resonance as Western minds now debate whether social media sites should screen out fake news, or if smartphone makers should help police gain access to the secrets locked away in the devices of suspected criminals.
