China: The coming fight for oil

Posted by Matt in December 19th, 2006

ATASU, Kazakhstan — The wind-raked scrub of this barren plateau reveals little hint of the revolution gurgling 9 feet beneath.

China’s first international oil pipeline, buried in the Kazakh steppe, is a milestone for the world’s newest empire–one forged not in the name of destiny or God, but in pursuit of the planet’s most valuable resources.

From the Himalayas to the Yellow Sea, China’s cities are exploding in size. Their factories are filling shelves around the globe. The country’s brand-new middle class is buying cars so fast that China is on pace to have more vehicles than America in two decades.

China had enough oil to sustain itself just 15 years ago. Now it is one of the world’s thirstiest oil addicts, importing 40 percent of what it needs. Only the U.S. consumes more.

China Vs The U.S. - The Battle For Oil (1 of 5)
China's sky-rocketing growth and shortage of sufficient resources is forcing China to set its sights outside its borders in a frantic search for oil, but the major oil-producing countries are kept off-limits by the United States, forcing China to do business with the rogue states, African dictatorships, Iran and former Russian states - to get the oil they desperately need.

AMERICA'S OIL - SOLD TO CHINA!!
I was FLOORED to hear that all this talk of DRILL, DRILL, DRILL only means that multi-national corporations will be profiting even MORE from America as they take OUR oil off OUR coast and sell it to whoever is the highest bidder. Likely CHINA. McCain & Palin have been acting like drilling off our pristine coasts will benefit America and be a national security issue - but it is JUST A PLAIN PROFIT ISSUE FOR BIG OIL. This McCain supporter ADMITS IT. If you thought this drill, drill, drill chant sounded too good to be true, you were right. Not only does it take 10 years or more to come online, but once it does, it'll be sold to the industrial powerhouse of China as they continue to feed their industrial machine and move jobs out of the U.S. THIS IS DISGUSTING - and the oil money...

**Blood of Oil = China+Sudan ** First Evidence 2008 1/3
China's Secret War-Darfur 2008 07 14 Hilary Andersson explains how Panorama uncovered evidence of China sending military equipment to Sudan Sudan's president has been accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Luis Moreno-Ocampo told judges at The Hague that Omar al-Bashir bore criminal responsibility for alleged atrocities committed over the past five years. The move comes as, after months of investigating China's covert arms trade, Panorama provides the first evidence of how China is arming Sudan's killers. Sudan, with its vast oil reserves, sells most of its oil to Beijing. The Panorama team follows a trail through Chad and Darfur, tracking down Chinese military trucks, one of which with a mounted...
