China has a very long memory.
They will be the World's Superpower in 25 years or less.
I won't be surprised to see the Chinese start colonizing Africa.

Actually, this article illustrates why China is destined to be little more than a dysfunctional slave camp for the foreseeable future.
Conventional wisdom is that China pegs their currency to the U.S. dollar in order to maintain it at an artificially low level (in order to be competitive in terms of labor costs). The reality is that China's currency is over-valued, because these restrictions on foreign ownership of Chinese assets make their currency completely worthless.
