Hoarding assets while the rest of the world are struggling to stay afloat. I hope people can see their strategy end game. GENERALLY, they've always wanted to rule the world. If they can't do it by force - they tried and failed - they'll find another way - like this. GENERALLY, the ones in power or near to power think only of themselves, everyone else is expendable, including their own people. Ask anyone who has worked in China.

Of course, there are counter strategies set in place and kudos to those people who prepare to counter forseeable problems. Yes, getting grandkids to learn mandarin is a good idea. Note: They won't let anyone break into their markets easily, if at all. As long as they don't need to rely on anyone else but themselves, they will not let anyone get close.

I would side with the Middle East any day because true Muslims are God-fearing and even though cash rich, they still have eternity in their minds and hearts. There is a very big difference.
