How Do Asian Countries View The US?

[Aepsilons]

Well , it should be the opposite instead, former colonies always tend to despise their former colonial Master's. Huh...just like Algeria towards France, Ukraine towards Russia, Vietnam towards China. well to be honest, I should have said former colonies despise their former colonial Master's when the master is closer to /lives close to their neighbourhood. , not so much when it's a far off country.

The clear exception to this rule would be the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. All 5 don't 'hate' Brittainia at all. On the contrary,....

Obviously the countries that don't have an independent foreign policy and are happy to live under American barbaric hegemony will love the worst regime since Nazi Germany.

But countries with independence will always consider the American regime one of the most despicable regimes ever seen on planet earth. War after war, decade after decade, slaughtering millions of innocent people all over the world for over 100 years.

The sooner American power declines (like it has), the quicker the world can get rid of the satanic evil that is the US.

Russia and China are the only countries that really matter as they are the only 2 countries with an independent foreign policy that can stand up to the evil.

The rise of China is the best thing that happened to this world in the last 500 years. Lets hope China continues to get stronger and continue to end American monopoly in all areas and accelerate the decline of the pure satanic evil.

You can also see the meaning of what I meant in this news (not that this doesn't applies To China and other of Vietnam's neighbours) .


Vietnam to lift visa requirement for Britons.

The new policy also applies to French, German, Spanish and Italian nationals

Vietnam is becoming visa-free for Britons this summer in an effort to draw more tourists to the country

British citizens no longer need to apply for a visa to enter the country, it was announced yesterday, as long as they are planning to stay for 15 days or fewer.

Travel will be visa-free from July 1 until June 30, 2016, according to an announcement made to tour operators at the Mekong Tourism Forum. The Vietnamese government has come under fire recently for falling tourist numbers. Chinese tourists are visiting Vietnam in smaller numbers since the two countries became embroiled in dispute over islands in the South China Sea.

This means that Britons travelling to the slither of country known for limestone island-speckled Halong Bay, its fresh and flavoursome street food and crumbling colonial cities, will save at least £54 on the cost of a single-entry visa.

The new policy also applies to French, German, Spanish and Italian nationals. The change comes in time for anyone wanting to fly to Vietnam on a new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, with the new, high-tech plane coming into service on direct flights from Heathrow with Vietnam Airlines; it is the first non-stop Dreamliner route between south-east Asia and Europe.

Laurence Hicks, managing director at Wendy Wu Tours, which operates trips to the country said: “We are delighted that Vietnam is further opening its doors to UK and EU tourism by relaxing the visa rules. It is a move towards recognition that UK and EU visitors are undeniably valuable to Vietnam’s tourism economy.

• The world's most incredible caves

“We have been growing our Vietnam portfolio for the past few years with seven itineraries as well as tailor-made options. Bookings are up year on year for Vietnam bookings underlining the demand for travel to this incredibly beautiful and vibrant country.”

The Foreign Office had not yet updated its advice to reflect the changes in visa requirements on Tuesday however.

Don't think if I would want to see that, but I absolutely want him to be on the debate stage with the other candidates. if at the very least for the pure entertainment value.

seems Obama saved the reputation bush junior lost

It seems the lowest point was When Bush left office.

Republicans are strong now so most probably new "Bush"

No I disagree, right now it is very difficult to state that Republicans will have an outright win. Besides that you don't even know which Republican presidential hopeful is in lead, Santorum and Jindal are morons of epic proportion but since Trump announced and the BS coming out of his mouth, I am sure he will overtake both Santorum and Jindal when it comes to being stupid. Rand Paul does talk some sense, by some I mean SOME. Jeb & Rick Perry seems more of a logical choice, but we still have to wait for now. The tea party darling, Ted Cruz could be a wild card here.

As for Democrats, Hilary was being trumped as the most likely candidate, but I guess Bernie Sanders is gaining ground fast. The US media was dismissive of Bernie earlier, but now they have to pay attention to him, it is highly unlikely that he will be treated fairly as he is not pro establishment.

I want to see the Donald in the house.

HAHAHA, yes Mexicans are rapists and Sanctity of marriage, he is the best one idea.

Agreed.

Disagree, the recent US supreme court ruling might galvanize the right for next election but it might not hand an all out victory to Republicans.


The link actually talks about something far more important and will have far reaching effects for the world and its TPP.

1. Agreed that the TPP is right now an election topic; in fact one of the candidates in the Democratic Party, Bernie Sanders, is a proponent for raising the minimum wage up to $15, as well as even cancelling the TPP.

But as it stands, however, most of the candidates in the United States (both the Democratic and Republican) want to pass the TPP; for example --- Hillary Clinton (Dem), Jeb Bush (Rep).

2. The Republicans control the House and the Senate, as well as are popular in the gubernatorial branches. I'm in no way saying that the Republicans will win by a landslide, but my conservative estimate is that they will pull it through. There are over 15 candidates in the Republican party whereas i think there are about 5 in the Democratic side. There seems to be a concerted effort in the Republican establishment to sort out the right candidate to represent the party. There seems to be a strong movement for them. Which might just be enough to grant victory.

Bernie Sanders is not an establishment guy, so to speak that is nor he is corporatist, whereas Hilary is everything what the corporate America wants. Two so called Radical policies he is trying to implement, one relates to the student loan and the whole mechanism and secondly increasing taxes on rich individuals and close the taxation loopholes exploited by mega corporations. At his last campaign stop, i think it was Iowa he pulled a crowd of roughly 13,000 supporters whereas Hilary was only able to get 5,000 when she announced her candidacy. Democrats and Republicans will do everything in their power to demonize Bernie and label him a socialist (as if being for people is bad), he is the only real challenger to status quo in US.
Yes the GOP controls the senate, but I do not see that right now Republicans had made their minds who they will vote, after all there seems to be an ample supply of idiots from Trump to Huckabee, and lets not forget Chris Christie.

As for TPP, it is designed to keep big businesses happy and the legislation is literally drafted by big pharma to not only monopolize the market but completely eradicate the production of generic drugs. The TPP is so secretive that even the US legislators are not allowed to disclose information about it. It will be a great disservice to allow TPP to come into action, because all those countries signing TPP will loose their independence to formulate trade policy or regulate it effectively.
