• An Islamic Internationalist viewpoint is emerging from the anti-war and post-colonial movements, based on Islamic history and culture. This appears to be distinct from the Nation of Islam movement.

• A Chinese government policy has recently been described as their internationalism plan. Broadly, this involves encouraging governmental and non-governmental Chinese companies to purchase foreign companies that own or control key resources established as critical to the growth of the Chinese economy and nation. One recent acquisition was the purchase of the American theatre company, AMC Theatres, for approximately 2.6 billion dollars. Although AMC Theatres registered a large loss in profits in the previous year, the Chinese purchasing company, Dalian Wanda Group, nevertheless acquired the weak company in order to enlarge their presence in North America. This was described as in line with the Chinese "internationalism" plan to grow their interests worldwide. http://www.inquisitr.com/240226/amc-theaters-purchased-by-chinese-conglomerate/
