china has too many problems to conquer the world. their economy is starting to sputter. they are currently running it into the ground by expanding real estate at an untenable rate. i don't know the politics of it, but i doubt it's simple.

besides that, china has a history of conquering neighboring lands for natural resources. it's currently in contention with practically every asian country (including india). it also deposed/conquered the tibetan government for natural resources.

Really China economy is starting to spurtter.  There wages are much better then ones of lower class countries. There wage is above 600 USD in some parts ofthere country.  Two months ago they went into a european country to start a  relationship with them so they can probably open more factories.  I dont think there economy is that bad you think it is.

I assure you, the economy is not bad at all, it is improving very well.
The biggest problem in China is education, morals and common sense.

My parents are from Hong Kong, (a ex-british colony part of China, which is considered a "city", and does not have to follow chinese rules and governs itself) and seeing what we call "mainland" tourists is just horrifying. Apparently taking a dump on the floor at a 60-floor shopping center is perfectly acceptable, and when security is called, they try to bribe them (WTF?) and if not, just punch them in their face.

It's not a "real" investment, it's old debt. African states got a large sum of loans from USSR and China during the Cold War time and they're unable to pay it back. You can see that now Russia and China allowing them to default this obligations in exchange for land and rights on deposits of oil, gold, diamond, uranium, nickel, etc. RF started this type of activity in the beginning of 2000s.

Actually, the US also tried this in the past, but China did it much more quickly before the US could.

Is China silently conquering Africa?
 I would changed that title for this one:
Is China silently conquering the World?

If You look at Your phone or a battery You would probably find a sign saying that it was made in China. Clothes, shoes, Your PC also (at lest some parts) are made in China. Now that may seem like nothing bad but the more things are produced in China the fewer jobs there will be in Europe or USA.

The Chinese way of gaining natural resources is smarter than the American way.

Have to agree with that. I don't really like the Chinese, but have to say that they are much more intelligent when compared to the American politicians. Giving small monetary grants and other form of support to poor nations and getting mining licenses, contracts.etc in return is much more inexpensive and clever than going to war with some country and capturing its natural resources.

Check the investments made by the Chinese in Africa:

The latest country to have gigantic Chinese investment is Zimbabwe, which is a pariah to most of the EU nations and the US, due to the dictatorship led by Robert Mugabe.

Quote
While Ukraine and Russia are on a war footing, China is busy doing what it does best - quietly take over another country without spilling a drop of blood, according to Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. This time it is Zimbabwe, and confidential reports also suggest Mugabe is on China's payroll.
