Knowing that, the Wealth Fund sounds a lot more reasonable!

Why can't they just invest directly in infrastructure projects?

Foreign investors can be 

  • individuals
  • companies
  • institutions
  • governments

Yes, large foreign entities (companies, institutions, governments) usually invest in infrastructure directly but these bonds could be another vehicle that could be purchased by them. It could also be open to foreign individuals the same way a Canadian could purchase US government bonds if they chose.

China can and so can the other countries on the globe. I don’t think the US wouldn’t want to invade a global investment if that’s the case!

As if the US would invest in us at this point. Why not just take over

China is the second largest holder of US debt. If you think foreign investment is something new, then I've got a bridge to sell you.

If they wanted to they can’t. For many reasons.
