Yes they buy stuff and build things. No one says no to that because they like having the money when selling and the new infrastructure that’s built.

They also have better capabilities on military and AI. Long term it’s playing a blinder, we can only hope they are benign.

We wibble between are they a threat or not, we can’t seem to determine that basic factor.
