Although it is from 1953, it sums this up quite nicely. Although the UN is featured in this cartoon, Red China will use these guys too.

Sounds like a game of RISK. "Owning" China and then going after SA can be a good strategy to "attack" NA and eventually win.
James Monroe must be spinning in his grave...

Watch out for the double standard. When American capitalists invest in infrastructure to exploit natural resources, we hear the cries of "imperialism". When China does exactly the same thing, all that we hear about is international cooperation and friendship. What a crock...
China will probably start shipping their infected poultry and non-recyclable nuclear waste to Cuba
We are being invaded. Reagan tried to stop it and Clinton and the Bushes have let it get out of hand.
"Unrestricted Warfare"
China is playing their hand very well. Their actions in Argentina will probably be among their best investments in the region.
They are gearing up for free trade of the Americas....
Its in its infancy but a likely presence for the future.
China putting to use all the Walmart $$ we've been sending over there.
For the last two years I've been fighting an often lonely battle against Bill Clinton and what could well be the deadliest sellout of America in our history.
I feel today as I did on the eve of Pearl Harbor. America is in danger and we could face another Pearl Harbor — only this time it may be a nuclear Pearl Harbor.
I am referring to Bill Clinton's decision to OK the imminent takeover of the Panama Canal by Communist China. For over 80 years, keeping the Canal under the control of the U.S. was properly regarded as vital for the safety of all Americans.
Control of the Canal will give China the ability to block vital food and oil shipments to the U.S....prevent deployment of our navy in times of national emergency...and create an enemy beachhead within striking distance of our cities. Red Chinese J-11 attack jets — each of which can drop 13,000 pounds of bombs — launched from Panama can strike our cities.
The notion that a U.S. president and Congress could allow this Canal — built and defended by the U.S. at an incredible cost in treasure and blood — to fall under the control of our avowed enemies, the Red Chinese — without a shot being fired — is incredible. Yet we are just days away from that nightmare becoming reality... -http://www.warroom.com/panamacanal.htm
We are going to pay dearly one day. China would love to snuff us out and be world power. Except when they are the #1 superpower they will not be like us but ruthless.
meanwhile...american citizens continue to buy cheap goods from china because it "capitalism" in it's purest sense.
Rome is still burning.
Adding in the amount of money China is putting into Argentina (some $20 billion back in November), this is starting to become interesting:
This week in Buenos Aires, Hu announced plans by Chinese businesses to directly invest $19.7 billion over 10 years in energy production, infrastructure, and railroad expansion - agreements which would amount to the largest bilateral trade accord for Argentina since its 2001-02 economic crisis.
If all of this is over a 10 year span, that averages $7 billion per year.
$70 billion is a lot of cash for any country to commit to in foreign investments in just a few months.

...just a few days production from export sales to the US
Trinidad has lots of oil, and the big asphalt lake. China...oil..hmmmmmm. Then there's Venezuela! Let's not even go there.
Not so. They invested heavily in Ecuador and Peru in the late 60's and early 70's. I was working in the region then and saw a lot of their activity then.
