    China is weaponizing its money.

    From March 7, 2018:
    Top Navy and Marine Corps officials on Wednesday expressed concern over China’s expanding global reach and said the superpower was rapidly buying up foreign land to “win without fighting.”

    “When it comes to China, the bottom line there is the checkbook,” Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer told lawmakers during a House Appropriations defense subcommittee hearing.

    I knew they had a large presence in Africa.

    Where they have established themselves, I understand they have thoroughly subjugated blacks.

    Now, if America did the same, blacks here would certainly burn down the USA.

    Looks like the riot party is over. African diaspora here and in South America, instead of raising hell, really should get back to Africa to defend their home.

    They have a large presence everywhere. They own vast amounts of US real estate as well as holding a great deal of US government debt, although less now than in the past, it's still the single largest foreign holder of US Treasury debt at over $1 trillion dollars. Real estate holdings were pegged at $350 billion in 2015.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    You are mistaken IIRC. US entities hold the largest debt.

    Please reread what I stated - they are the largest foreign holder of US debt.

    I mean really . What a sound strategy to what's the term ? "Project influence"? While at the same time we waged endless war , racked up debt and borrowed Chinese money.
    Maybe Asians ARE smarter than the rest of us?
