I hope they don't mind learning to speak Chinese to help deal with their new overlords and occupiers.
remind me again which country it is that has invaded so many countries in the last few decades that you may not know the answer offhand? was it china?

also, fyi, chinese businesses can also speak english

Do you think that if the Chinese had the staggering advantages the USA had after World War 2, that they wouldn't have invaded anyone?
They do it differently.

To quote a Chinese business man: When Europeans see poor people they think of giving aid. When the Chinese see it it looks like a familiar business opportunity.

If the world won't stand up even to a diminishing US then it definitely will need to learn Chinese to speak to its next master.
