FYI: Part of being a global superpower is having some money to throw around.
Want to fund a giant 80 million person megacity in the Pearl River Delta for $322 billion? Piece of cake.
Re-build the Silk Road for up to $1 trillion? Not an issue.
But China doesn’t only show off its deep pockets domestically. The country has also been extremely active on the global market, buying up everything from natural resources in Africa to luxurious real estate in Manhattan. In total, Chinese companies have spent over $1 trillion on overseas investment over the last decade, and this has only accelerated in recent years as investors seek to acquire safe haven assets abroad.
