  1. I think China is a bit stretched with all these loans they have made and some are going very badly. For instance some countries are finding the shiny new railroads China built for them are draining their budgets to keep operating. They now have roads and ports to no where. Also, since World War 2 the United States has invested in businesses and infrastructure that amounts into the billions of dollars. As for the Philippines, they act more like the dance hall girl who loves the one she is with and the Solomon Islands is no economic powerhouse, has no economic reason for being outside of being a vacation spot.

  2.  @ablam8  Russia will be a colony of China soon as China buys raw materials from Russia and then sells back to Russia everything the Russians can make but at lower Chinese prices. The rail line is slow and expensive and may never generate the hoped for traffic. If Europe reduces oil usage Russia will experience a decline in revenue. Russia will have to get by by selling commodities but that will cause a brain drain as Russians with high tech talents will move to the west due to lack of opportunity in the country. Also, after Russia needlessly attacked Ukraine how many companies will risk investing in Russia?
