Two Super Powers
by Eugene Plawiuk Wednesday, May. 24, 2006 at 5:18 AM

There are now two super powers in the World. As the latest Amnesty report reveals.

Rights report condemns US, China
"When the powerful are too arrogant to review and reassess their strategies, the heaviest price is paid by the poor and powerless."
-- Amnesty Secretary-General Irene Khan

American hegemony was challenged last month when their rentier landlord came to visit them. Chinese Prime Minister Hu first stopped in Washington, not Washington D.C. but the State of Washington to buy a few planes from Boeing, and have an official State Dinner with the real power in Amerika, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. On his way to Europe he stopped in to visit President Bush shake some hands have a press conference, and ask about how America intended to pay its bills.

While America prides its power as Empire, it is no longer the only Superpower in the World. It no longer has hegemony. China has matched it.

As the American Empire spreads its military abroad, China keeps its at home. China too now is a hegemon. One that is playing in the world despite American protests.

Take Sudan. Please. As the old joke goes. Sudan is a client state of China, they own the petro-industry there. So ask yourselves why of all the UN Security council members, China is the only one who has not offered military forces for Darfur. Nor have they used their economic and political power to force the Sudanese state to settle the Darfur issue. Is it because Darfur is one of the new oil finds in Sudan?UN presses Sudan to admit assessment team in Darfur (Roundup)

Before we send Canadian forces to Sudan, or even aid, we should ask why their largest client is doing nothing.

Yep China is just like America, both share the arrogance of power. And China is not only Sudan's landlord, it's America's landlord too.
