Everyone looks at this and goes, "oh my gosh! China is stealing our money!" But the other way to look at this is, "oh my gosh, China is loaning us all this money!"
They are giving the world more shit than we give them. They are doing it because they expect to be able to get shit that shit back in the future. But... we could just not give them the shit back?
That's why they're freaking out over capital controls like this case in the Netherlands. It's attacking the leverage they think they have to collect on their loans. They think they can just own all these foreign companies and collect the profits forever.
Every time one of those Chinese-owned companies goes bankrupt, or gets nationalized, they lose the money they loaned us. Every time we bury one of these Chinese companies in lawsuits for the illegal shit they inevitably do, they lose the money they loaned us. Every time they build some port or dam or whatever in some African shithole, and an anti-Chinese government gets elected that kicks their grifters out, they lose the money they loaned us.
And, as Russia learned the hard way, you can have T$ in "US dollars" in your banks, and then see all that money turn useless because the US refuses to allow you spend any of it. Sure, you can start money laundering it via proxy nations, but now your money is worth a fraction of the dollar due to the corruption tax.
