Thought-provoking NYT article: Is China the World’s New Colonial Power?
A thought-provoking but longish article: Is China the World’s New Colonial Power? The rising superpower has built up enormous holdings in poor, resource-rich African countries — but its business partners there aren’t always thrilled.

A very small extract from it telling us clearly how powerful China today is on the world stage, as compared to the beginning of this millennium: "Driven by economics (a hunger for resources and new markets) and politics (a longing for strategic allies), Chinese companies and workers have rushed into all parts of the world. In 2000, only five countries counted China as their largest trading partner; today, more than 100 countries do, from Australia to the United States."
