CHINA MAY JUST BUY ALL OF EUROPE IN ONE GO
October 28 2011
Brussels, Belgium – It has been a tough a nervous few weeks but it appears that the European Union may have saved itself from financial disaster. The organization came forward with a plan that would inject billions back into the economies of the struggling nations in the union and stabilize the currency which many had assumed was on its way out. They, however, have to ask for a little bit of help from the outside. 
As a part of the deal, China will invest $100 billion dollars into the bailout fund, investing heavily in the Euro itself. While on paper the decision may simply seem like an economic investment, particularly as the nation tries to wean itself off the American dollar, others are more cynical of the effort and believe that China may actually be angling for a bigger part of the pie, potentially using the economic crisis as a buy in to the continent as whole.
That possibility, bolstered by the growing population and diminishing living space in China proper, have led to some concern that the nation may be prepping itself for a takeover of the majority of the European continent, expanding her borders and eventually making the world China.
“If the Chinese, who have 60 per cent of global reserves, decide to invest in the euro instead of the dollar, why refuse?” said French President Nicolas Sarkozy shortly after speaking with Chinese Premier Hu Jintao. The French, it is believed, were most eager to accept the Chinese money and just do what they asked.
The fund is designed to help bolster the failing economies of countries such as Greece, Ireland, and Portugal as well as relieving pressure on France and Italy. It’s not clear how far the eastward the Chinese plans may extend.
“Everyone assumed a few years ago that China’s principle target was the United States. A few years ago that was probably accurate but things stateside just aren’t as good as they once were and that makes the country a risky financial proposition. Plus they have lots of guns and a really independent spirit,” said Scrape TV European analyst Gillian Weismann. “Europe has a great deal of upside and not nearly as many weapons. The countries are all individual meaning that it will be hard to build a single force, as evidenced by the state of the Union today, and that would make it relatively easy for China to just divide and conquer.”
It’s believed unlikely that China will be interested in Ireland and Portugal and only in Greece because of its historical significance. 
“This is a changing time for the world and China is perfectly positioned to exploit that change. It will be relatively easy to just roll in and take charge, particularly because the Europeans seem so eager to allow them to do just that. Before you know it they will be speaking Mandarin in Berlin,” continued Weismann. “They will still have to get to Europe, admittedly. It’s a lot harder to do that over land than just travelling across the Pacific but I’m sure they’ll find a way. It’s really just a matter of time at this stage, something China has plenty of and Europe doesn’t.”
China is also in negotiations to just buy Kazakhstan outright for a collection of lambs and goats.
