While I'm not happy about their thumping on the Tibetans or the Falun Gong or anyone else, I'm not sure I disagree with the point I think he's raising, here, which seems to be, "Sovereignty is good, global hegemonic elitist communism is not good. Let those nations that want to align with China do so, and leave them alone. Those who want to gather around Russia or the US or the EU should also do that. Just stop sticking your noses into our internal matters, and let's get on with it, you incredibly rude busy-bodies, you." :)

(Reminds me of a line from 'Babylon 5', spoken by the Bill Mumy character with the pointy ears as he easily lifted some earthling character into the air: "We may look like you. But we are _not_ you." :)

Of course, it _could_ be a new phrasing of the NWO idea, "All Earth is divided into three parts," with one-third to be run from China, one-third to be run from D.C., and one-third to be run from wherever the Queen is. I dunno.
