First they did not bankrupt the West or anywhere else. The collapse of banking in the West was due to govts allowing an absurd property bubble to continue unchecked.

And whether or not the assets they have bought were 'cheap' ot not will take some long while to be sure about IMO.

As for the huge spike in oil prices that was, of course, caused by supply and demand with much of the demand coming from speculators.
