Brazilian journalist Escobar along with many other people, especially those in the BRIC nations, look to China as their salvation from US Empire domination. Although understandable, I think it is a mistake to cheer one capitalist gang over another just because one is the underdog. Capitalist gangs are all destructive--if not now, then later when they become "top dog". And, of course, the strong tendency of all capitalist operations is toward the exploitation of workers and/or the destruction of the planet's environment.
Still, it can't be denied that China, Russia, Brazil, etc, are making rapid strides toward independence from Empire domination, and Escobar sees this especially happening in China.
