China Sets Its Sights on South America Seth Cropsey

China’s leaders are betting that Latin America will prove useful politically, economically, and even militarily. The U.S. government should pay more attention to its own backyard.

The kicker is, the Chicoms can use America’s own deficit dollars for bribe money. Sigh. And there’s no such thing as a private SOE, not by any stretch lol. Not only is China dominated by SOEs, but AmCham China’s 2017 China Business Climate Survey of 500+ foreign companies showed the 81% said foreign companies are less welcome now than before 2013! The number in 2013 was just 40% saying they felt less welcome than in 2008. Moving backward a fast clip.

The greater achievement would have been if Admiral Zheng He sailed south below the Indian Peninsula and discovered Australia. China could have easily occupied Australia and cemented her power in a manner that cannot be rivaled. Such a massive presence in mainland China and the continent of Australia would have surpassed any modern power of the 20th and 21st century.
