China is buying up realestate and farm land in every major western nation. China is buying critical infrastructure across the globe via the Belt and Road initiative[1][2]. China has become too big and too powerful to be stopped by mere consumer action. They are not planning to wage a war on democracy, they're planning to simply subsume it with soft power and emigration.
To stop China's hellish vision of the future from becoming reality, the leaders of the developed world need to hit it with trade controls as hard as they did Cuba. But so far it seems that everyone is choosing to sell out their own country for those sweet Chinese RMB[3].
I see the sign of the times when I go to the largest shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere (Chadstone, Melbourne, Australia) and see little stands advertising AU realestate in all-Chinese banners, staffed by Chinese agents who don't even speak English. The citizens of the country they're selling are not worth talking to.
