In case you were wondering how the US under Obama is respected by our rivals.
Global Times of China .... "Russia has impressed the world, which views the Kremlin as the "winner" and the White House as the "loser."
"This judgment is correct. In the Snowden case, all the other countries involved have become winners while the US is the sole loser. Washington put on a show of bravado, but failed to extradite Snowden in the end. By contrast, Moscow displayed its national characteristics of decisiveness and boldness and kept Washington at bay."
....
"Washington ate the dirt this time, but it does not necessarily mean it is really awed by Moscow. In the same manner, Washington is unlikely to fear Beijing, and Beijing needn't fear Washington. What Beijing should care about most is how to maximize its interests in its relations with Washington.
"Snowden can do more in a country like Russia. The performance that has disgraced the US is far from over."
