Many people are cheering the advance of Russia, China and brics in general as a good thing in comparison to the decaing west. The east has always had collective ideas and low respect for the individual, if China becomes the new empire it probably will be much worse than the Anglo-american empire. For example try to find libertarians groups in china or in russia. We must be careful for what we wish for, nothing is bad that can't get worse. If you're a christian as me, that's also a big issue, think about how many christian martyrs were killed in China, they(the chinese state) are not our friends.
