"Threatened by a “financial tsunami,” the world must consider building a financial order no longer dependent on the United States" Who said these words? British BANKSTERS? They wanna kick us away? Tony Blair had his fun with us romping in Iraq and Afghanistan and now maybe he's throwing us on the wastepile?  Maybe Vladamir PUTIN said it? Maybe he's still pissed over our dumb nut UKRAINE enrcroachment. How dare the nervy West show up at his repriesals against separatists? Well...sadly, 'No' to all of those good and meritorious possibilities. It was a leading Chinese state newspaper that said this SHAKE FREE OF the USA  thing, recently. Take a deep breath and read that last sentence again. It is OFFICIAL THINK over there. The commentary in the overseas edition of the People’s Daily said the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc  “may augur an even larger impending global ‘financial tsunami’.” The People’s Daily is the official newspaper of China’s ruling Communist Party, and the overseas edition is a smaller circulation offshoot of the main paper. Its pronouncements do not necessarily directly reflect leadership views, but this commentary by a professor at Shanghai’s Tongji University suggested considerable official alarm at the strains buckling world financial markets.  China’s central bank  cut its lending rate for the first time in six  years, a move analysts said was aimed at bolstering the economy and the battered stock market.
