The Chinese....by a long shot.
No troops. No bullets. No tanks. No Navy.
Just accountants, lawyers and very willing, greedy leaders in countries all over the world. Just ask the Sri Lankan’s how they feel.
This is just more Brit B$ to distract their people from their real Chinese problem:
Author Bell Hooks describes dependency “as the breeding ground for abuses of power.” Britain is clearly dependent on investment from China, now more than ever before.
Britain’s infrastructure and universities are essentially controlled by China:

We're being hanged with the rope they sold us.
Not quite. Americans are happy to buy the cheaper products made in China.
Very well stated. I guess that our Defense Department will get right on it after Austin and Milley get rid of all those “right-wing insurrectionists” (the same kind who fought so suicidally on Iwo).
China is spending money they really don’t have on places with a track record of taking money and then giving the middle finger to those that gave the money. Africa, South America, etc.
IMHO It won’t end well for the Chinese.
We could do the same - and for a tiny fraction of the cost of Build Back Better.
Hey, I’m sure Joe won’t let China gain too much power down there ... Bwhahahahahaha
But but but American Thinker said China is going to collapse at any moment. AT is on the chinese payroll to downplay their strengths. I am convinced of it. All they have been coming out with recently is china is doomed articles.I will believe it when I see it.
I was told by some here back in August China was going to implode and go down in September over Evergrande...no if’s and’s or buts.
China only gets stronger politically and militarily each and every year.
I have been warning of china for 20 years but no one listens.
“There are many who say yhat your prediction is what happened to Japan after the ‘87 Crash. Japan had been buting and investing in companies and real estate in the US. Comes the crash they lose billions and sell off to the people they sold to for quarters on the dollar”
The major difference is we never sent 70,000 factories to Japan. In a Bloomberg poll in October 2020 73% of American companies said they are going to continue to do business in china and not only that but expand their business in china.
We have been sold out by the elites.
China has their dogs, the Russians, all over S. America now. Not just in Venezuela.
And the Chicoms are using are money to do it.
Shortly after African nations became independent the Peoples Republic of China began a serious effort to curry favor there. The PRC spent billions on African infrastructure while opening their schools to African students. The public works petered out, and African students found that the Chinese were even more prejudiced than their colonial masters, and that they in fact were unwelcome in China.
The PRC is now much wealthier, but other than that little has changed.
