United States of China

What is gasoline? Is it petrol? Why not call it petrol? Oh ... I see... it is because China is fast becoming the United States of China. Will the RMB soon become the dollar? I read that China wants to get rid of English words to prevent Chinese from being degraded. Isn't this silly use of the word 'gasoline' doing just that?
