China's gamble to be an Asia and World's only Super Power

China's gamble to be an Asia and World's only Super Power

China first tested the wool over The Eye strategy on Australia and I will explain how China is going to win this game


Iron ore imports from Australia


China with its opening and industrialization started to import iron ore from Australia to fuel its industrialization and encourage Australia to invest into the mining industries during the mining boom of 1990 to 2010 with opening of new mines upgrading existing mines rail and port facilities. I was there is 2002 at Dampier port north of western Australia when the oil rig I was working on had to go to port for repairs

They were many gantries to handle the export of iron ore and could see ships a lot of them waiting to be loaded with iron ore and also trains miles Long with wagons full of iron ore. The wagons were so big that you can put a double decker bus in it and trains were coming and going also ships coming to port will empty new built wagons which were built in china. Smart Chinese making the Australians supplier of raw materials and sell finish products back to the Australians


Brand new mining towns sprung up in Western And northern Australia complete with housing schools shops shopping Malls supermarkets car sale shops restaurants fine and fast food, petrol stations bar pubs hotels prostitutes and all the trappings of a modern town and with roads public services and facilities. Australians know how to spend and spare no expenses to make life bearable for the new residents of these towns’ meanwhile property prices in Karatha Perth Gearldton and other established towns when sky rocket and billions were invested by the private and public sector. The iron ore reserves in western and northern Australia were inexhaustible and thing that this boom will propel western and northern Australia ahead of Eastern and southern Australia. Yes all was going to plan and everybody wanted to migrate and the invest in business and properties in Australia. Minimum wages shot up to AUD 25 per hour and the Australian dollar was stronger than US dollar. America made Australia the land cap sheriff to make olive the southern pacific and south east Asia. So far she good all going according to plan as the Australians thought


But China was not on the same wave length as the Australians because it was not in Chinese interest to have another Super power next to china

Meanwhile under the guise of providing economic and military aid without conditions, china were given mining rights in a lot of African countries and also oil exploration production rights for oil & gas and timber logging rights. I worked in West Africa and can see Chinese presence everywhere building ports airports railways roads bridges town’s buildings you name it and could see brand new naval gunboats getting offloaded from Chinese ships and also chines finish products. Chines open up a lot of iron ore mines and 60 % of labours were Chinese and can see Chinese truck Drivers crane Drivers chines supermarkets Chinese restaurants. I used to shop and eat there and restaurants not good in taste like Malaysia restaurants. Also were developing iron ore and other mineral exploitation in Indonesia and South America Brazil Venezuela equador Peru Chile and so on and all these mines were under chines control. Here the Chinese worker population was 30% of the work force. China has 1 million mainland chines work in Africa. It Africa building a pan African highway and railway linking all countries from South Africa to North Africa Egypt and Morocco in north west and why because to have a land route thru a tunnel under the Suez Canal for rail and road to link to the china to Europe highway and rail network and from Morocco a tunnel under the straits of Gibraltar to Spain and Europe. The highway and rail network from china will pass thru Central Asia to Europe with feeder service from Africa thru Middle East and Europe opening up markets for finish products and raw materials. China has a lot of friends in Central Asia Africa and also in Europe. China have USD 3 trillion cash in foreign reserves to send and have 6 trillion USD in US treasury bonds which can be converted to cash and trillions in investments outside china and 1.5 billion Chinese to back china up . China know that trade by sea makes china venerable in times of war and by just blocking the straits of Malacca will choke off china from raw materials and markets for its finish products . India is by passed in this grand scheme and will end up an Indian Ocean power only and the rail network from southern china will be for raw materials and chines finish products .china is encouraging ports development in south east Asia with seed money but knowing that these will not be of use in the present Ng run as it is not in Chinese interest to have a viable boom economy in south east Asia expect for supply of raw materials and market for finish Chinese products. The future for Chinese trade is land route with in time of war less venerable.



Back to Australia the Chinese fuel mining industry in Australia was a red herring as china was developing alternative supplies of iron ore and minerals in Africa Indonesia and South America. When these came on line, china started buying less from Australia, the mining industry collapse, brand new towns became ghost towns, property prices in western and northern Australia crashed all with mass unemployment and devaluation of Australia dollar. USD now is stronger than AUD. Australia is now in a fragile state as even china dairy and meat imports Abd now sourced from other countries. This is the price Australia Pay for trying to be America' sheriff and china needed to teach Australia a lesson



Same thing happening in Southeast Asia and the countries going to get hurt most is Malaysia Singapore (America’s deputy in Southeast Asia hosting American naval base which in time of war and shut the straits of Malacca and no Friend of China)




Prospects and challenges on China’s ‘one belt, one road’: a risk assessment report

United States of American will remain an Americas power only


The train from China to London took 11 days and the frequency will increase. This is faster than transport by sea and more securedand see it this happening as what happen in Australia happening in Malaysia and Singapore in 5 years’ time



China produce more tin than Malaysia and Malaysia is net importer of oil. Southern china Vietnam Muammar and Thailand produces more than enough rubber and oil palms with room for future growth. China does not need Malaysia or Singapore except for market for Chinese products

 

China fortifying southern sea ( Spratly Islands South China Sea Spratly Islands ) border as this is going to be the border at south most after that the countries do not matter anymore to China except for raw materials and market for Chinese Finish products
