Maybe China would just buy the whole place outright for three or four dollars worth of beads and set up a naval base and air base. They could buy concrete and rebar from the US and have missile guidance systems shipped Fed EX real cheap and it would save them lots of money on making fuel for their nuclear missiles. When the economy is bad you want to save all the money you can. I imagine some enterprising soul can figure out a way to sell them some of our used nuclear warheads now that we don't need so many and that would make money for us and save shipping costs to the Chinese. Looks like a win win situation for everyone
In spirit, I agree that it is really frustrating to help a gov't that is so corrupt and inept that it won't help its own people.
