Sorry, I'll still take "know a good investment when they see it" over "buying all our assets so they can drive us into the ground somehow despite the fact that such an act would destroy their own economy in the process"
Remember the gospel of capitalism: once they learn how to make money, they'll learn to enjoy it, and will prefer financial stability over religious, ethnic or ideological unrest.
China seems quite absorbed in making money these days, Communist on the letterhead but amassing cash all the same. Even OPEC has avoided using oil as a political tool (at least in extreme measure as they did in the 70s) for 30 years because it ultimately bites them in the butt with depressed oil prices.
Ya gotta have faith, kj! :biggrin:
