I don't know how many anons are aware of just what China is doing. In Africa, all of the leaders are corrupt. The Chinese are bribing the leaders to put in oil drilling rigs, build roads (infrastructure), and then bringing in Chinese workers to man the different sites they have set up.
The money having been stolen by the corrupt oligarchies in Africa, the countries then default on these construction loans. China then forecloses, and they now basically own the natural resources of Africa. This is not happening in just one country, but across the continent.
The same is happening in South America. I suggest anons research China's incursion into the South China Sea, Kenya, and Venezuela. It will take fewer than three articles to see the pattern.

Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, and is in the top three US suppliers of heavy crude. US oil is light crude, and is not suitable for chemical plant use due to the lack of the heavier hydrocarbons.
