I agree to a point. I think China is hell-bent on world economic domination, but I doubt they are considering any military domination. Military domination costs heaps of money and history shows it doesn't work. Really you only need economic power to impose your will-look at how the USA used to do that.
Really we need politicians with enough balls to tell foreign countries they can only lease our land-not buy it.
A friend of mine recently bought an apartment near the beach in Thailand-he told me its ok for foreigners to buy an apartment, but they cannot buy a house because that involves land ownership-so Thailand along with many countries, places restrictions on foreign ownership of land.
