Once again, we bring guns while the Chinese bring investment. This is a game we shall ultimately lose.

Update: Today's The New York Times has a great report about Chinese global investing:

With the center of financial gravity shifting, China is aggressively asserting its economic clout to win diplomatic allies, invest its vast wealth, promote its currency and secure much-needed natural resources.

It represents a new phase in China’s evolution. As the country’s wealth has swelled and its needs have evolved, President Xi Jinping and the rest of the leadership have pushed to extend China’s reach on a global scale.

We are trying to counter China and the BRICS with military force and coercive trade agreements. If you were a Third World country, what would you want? A military dictator backed by US weapons, or something else? Would you want the US to dictate your way of life, or would you want to decide for yourself how to live?
