The new world order may be all over but the shouting - as long as the dying USA hegemonic dragon does not manage to instigate World War 3! The Chinese may be upping their diplomatic subtlety, and anyway, truth is what it is. Also, I note the stark difference between China's almost but did not happen naval support of Russia in respect of the USA instigated Syrian crisis, yet recently in the South China Sea, Russia has pledged to join China in joint South China Sea naval exercises. Russia, at least under Putin, certainly demonstrates loyalty, which is a rare thing at a governmental level in the modern Western democratic fascist nations world we have lived in for substantial time now... It will be interesting to see how China conducts herself in the coming century or more, as a primary economic (and soon enough military) global power. The Chinese are very present to their most recent "century of humiliation" as they call it, and so their test is how they handle their power in the face of their history. One can hope they learn their diplomacy from Russia rather than the USA of course. Interesting times..
