I have not read the Topic here.
But by the title I feel this may be on subject. I am talking about the purchase of Unocal by China instead of Chevron. China has outbid Chevron and the BBC seemed to be saying that they could not finalize the deal out from Chevron this late. But can we (the U.S.) tell China how she can spend her money? Especially with the account deficit as such?
http://www.federalreserve.gov/boardd...05/default.htm Consider "account deficit" and "trade deficit".
It looks to me that this will go one way or the other. China, if it acquires Unocal, will route the primary Caspian Sea Pipeline Eastward. Not Southward to the Arabian Sea. That will nullify the expense of the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars. On the alternative, the U.S. will tell China there are stipulations on the U.S. dollar "FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE" and China will have no choice but to impact or crash the dollar.
Just some food for thought.
