Irony. Unocal was dealing with the Talib in trying to set up the pipeline from the Stans thru Afghania to the Baluchistani coast.
Now China gets Unocal with nary a peep in the USA.
Dunno what to say anymore, except that the US was heavily investing and working with the Nazis preWW2. Now it's the Fascist Chinese. C'est plus ca change......
Chinese eyes must be smiling at this.
