    It doesn’t always have to be militarily and violent. It could just be economically, which China is actually doing, not only in South America, but in Africa and the Middle East, too. It’s not necessarily a bad thing either. I know back in my country (Iraq) Chinese goods are very affordable for their currency. US and European goods on the other hand, are just pure fire to touch.

        My brothers actually don’t mind that at all. My older brother bought a brand new Chinese truck for $3500. You can’t beat that compared to the thousands you’d have to pay for any American truck 😄

      How many hundred thousand people China kidnaped killed and dissapeared "economically in South America? “Domination” in US terms means massacres. I don’t know of a single death orchestrated by China around here.
