China Could Easily Own World With Their $3 Trillion

Here's what they could do with there stash.....

1- China could gobble up Apple, Microsoft, IBM and Google for less than $1 trillion. By buying all the major corporations, it can dictate terms and prices to the world.....

2- China can buy all of Manhattan,. The island's taxable real estate is worth only $287 billion, according to the New York City government.
The properties of Washington, DC, are valued at just $232 billion. China can go from being America's banker to its landlord.....

3- Three trillion dollars would buy about 88 per cent of 2011's global oil supply.
China can buy up all the oil, raise the prices and enjoy the profits.....

4- It would take only $1.87 trillion to buy all of the farmland (and farm buildings) in the United States.
If China acquires all the agriculture farms and farm buildings, it can easily control the world's food prices, as America is the biggest exporter of food products.....

5- China could theoretically buy America's entire Department of Defence, which has assets worth only $1.9 trillion, according to its 2010 balance sheet.
Most of this amount would actually be able to buy all the land, buildings and investments made by the US Department of Defence. The entire armament -- guns, tanks and other military apapratus -- is valued at $413.7 billion.....

6- China could buy all of the outstanding sovereign debt of Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Greece, solving the euro area's debt crisis in a trice.
And it would still have almost half of its reserves left over......

China......

I have no doubt China will make some type of major move when they are confident they will succeed. Until then they just plot, make some moves, develop their plan and when the time is right...look out. China has been around for a few thousand years and waiting a few more won't matter too much to them.

They already basically control the Rare Earth supply. There's a few producers elsewhere but China is already in the driver's seat with that one.

Ya, people thought I was crazy for worrying about China.. They own our asses. They also developed missiles with the sole intention of destroying U.S aircraft carriers if that time will ever come. But they need us to keep buying their cheap shit.

Not quite so simple... that 3 trillion number... not like it is cash reserves on hand w which anything can be done, w/o any processes or checks in place.

Think the Japanese owned Pebble Beach for a while... my own personal American icon... and they didn't buy the world as was predicted back in the 80's.

Not like China doesn't have major internal issues.

Not like their military isn't still an 'emerging' power.

Not like it's going to happen any time soon.

China will not do this. what they will do is wait till our economies are so entwined that we are forced to share a currency. we are already co dependent on each other, but as our middle class shrinks and theirs' grows they are gaining more buying power than us. the only thing that keeps them from buying our country is the amount of debt we owe to them, which keeps growing. the only way for them to collect the debt is to join our system and delegate the funds back themselves. The reason I say our system is because there entire communist country is supported on small capitalism zones.

China is flocking into precious metals as are many countries in efforts to get out of the USD. Hell ..mexico is even takin in assloads of physical gold to prepare themselves for whats to come.

US Dollar is on the verge of losing world reserve currency status...and if that days come we are all in for a world of trouble. Its end game when oil is no longer priced in USD.

ICMAG - take notice - starting prepping.
Invest in yourself and save in gold & silver.

Eventually I reckon the west is going to turn around to china and the arabs and tell em to go and whistle for their money., and it will all be nicely planned out in advance with stockmarkets shut down and some shady biz put in place to mean no selloffs of bonds would hurt. I just dont think the fat old suits whove been running the show, are going to to be dictated to by people whom they certainly consider to be inferior

War's coming baby! You're right...the west is setting it's pieces and has been since 9-11. 9-11 was the excuse to militarize, crack down, and prepare for war. We USED to own the ME...we gave it back...and now we regret it. We're almost done paying the Arabs all that money. With easy oil tightening, we need to stabilize the oil supply. Oil is "the spice" if you get the reference. The spice must flow, or kiss goodbye about half the earths population.

As for China. It's a little puppy compared to "the west". It's an outsider too. Nope, no worries about China, they'll fall in line (most likely) or be destroyed in WWIII when it happens.
