Just days after discussing in class about how China doesn't actually want the role of world superpower that the United States possesses, Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert dedicated an entire show to talk, in gest mostly, about the imminent rise of China and why Americans should be fearful.
He discussed, at length, their economy, political system, population, etc. and explained why they wil be the most powerful nation in about a decade. However, with all jokes aside, he went on to warn the Chinese about the responsibility that they would inherit. With a mixture of sarcasm and seriousness, he told them about the financial obligations to the UN and many other organizations, the military support that must always be given, and the spotlight on all decision-making.
In short, he repeated exactly what was disussed a week or so ago in class about how the Chinese are aware of the inherent responsiblities and how even though they are on the rise even they know that the limelight is somethin that they want to avoid.
