When the PRC finishes buying Australia, can California be far behind?Actually, the PRC is buying a chunk of Africa as well. The Africans prefer dealing with the PRC because they don't have all this "human rights" baggage.danmand said:They have been busy buying commodities and commodity companies for a while now, and most of Australia.
