Interesting observations. I guess we are all in a more complex web of colonial cross feeding instead of the simple and one way methods of the 19th and 20th Century.
I remember that China wanted to buy Unocal, a second tier U.S. oil company that has a lot of gas production business in Asia. It was said that China was just buying reserves. The U.S. government vetoed the sale, even though most of those reserves were outside USA. No wonder China is making deals of its own in Africa and, it is said, in Iran.
