China gets their oil from Libya. Why isn't China involved? They're going out spending billions of dollars a day on trying to take over the world economically.

One of the things that has been very difficult in Libya is the sense of uncertainty - the sense that they haven't actually finished the revolution, that there was still a great deal of uncertainty. That uncertainty has made Libya harder for business in terms of oil and other things as well.
What's important in Libya is, first of all, it has a good deal of oil. A lot of the country is unexplored; there may be a lot more. And it's very high-quality oil, so very valuable.
The oil under Libya is the champagne of oil, drop for drop the world's most valuable.
Libya has had to put up with too much from the Arabs for whom it has poured forth both blood and money.
Libyans have to work together for a new Libya. They should keep in place the sinews of security.

Many rich people in China made their fortunes by damaging natural resources and building corrupt relations with the government.
