I do not believe in conspiracy theories, but I do believe in compelling evidence.

On the Australia front, it'd be good to look into something like this:

Furthermore, a number of Austrlian politicians have been accused of being "too friendly" with Mainland China. I remember one of them in particular was revealed to have ties with the Chinese PLA, but I can't seem to remember / find his name at the moment.

American GDP nearly doubles Chinese. American total wealth is approximately 3 times that of Chinese. Chinese buying out America. I'd like to think it's the other way around.
It isn't so much a matter of GDP sizes. Instead, it is where the money is getting spent on.

I remember reading more than a few articles in Financial Times, Forbes, or the Economist, and they were indicating China has been investing on American tech companies and people where the technology involved could have / can lead to state and/or military use. In one article that I remember, the technology was initially funded by DoD, but after the prototype was developed and the DoD reviewed it, they decided it wasn't worth spending money on. The founders were later approached by some Chinese funding, and somehow managed to get US approval for the sale / technology transfer to their new Chinese financial sponsors. The whole thing is as ming boggling as it can be.
