China's foreign exchange reserves near record $4 trillion

UAE is doing the same

It's a very good idea. Nations with a large amount of surpluses should firstly invest in their own country, and once the domestic market is saturated, they should invest overseas.

Investment in "real" assets is always much better than investing in treasury bonds. Even if global prices crash to zero, those assets (land/resources/factories/etc) you own, are still yours. And are still productive.

Very unlikely, nations need access to cheap resources and produce goods and services that the world will buy at a fair price. In most industries the US has become uncompetitive.

Britain had its time in the sun, when it ruled a vast empire and had access to cheap plentiful resources, then came the time for the US. Now it's China's time, they have the buying power and have started buying all the rights to African and South American resources they can get their hand on to feed the ever growing engine that is the Chinese economy.

Relatively the US is just barely able to fund its debt repayments through more borrowing! It's like a man who is out of work borrowing money from bank A to repay the interests he owes to bank B!

China still has a lot more infrastructure investments to do in its hinterland, before it can invest significant amounts abroad. In the next 3-4 decades China will have some of the most advanced industrial capacity available.
