The Chinese apparently see a lot of unpolluted farmland for sale cheap. Which they need.

Don't worry, the US is also there. The proxy wars will begin within the decade, I'm certain.

New World Order and it ain't even China.

We're awfully confident about ourselves all of a sudden aren't we?

People really love to hate on Africa, they enjoy our struggle. We just do us and one day soon we'll make it. You don't have to believe me, just watch.

They should start moving their people there. Finally someone would make Africa a decent place.

It won't be the last one you can count on that since Africa is where so many minerals etc. are. When China gets a strong toe hold in Africa they arn't going to be as nice as the Europeans to the Africans but they will have the respect and that is what counts.

The only thing white people ever gave Africa was racism, oppression, and then ruthless dictators who were the West's various puppets. The Chinese are actually investing in infrastructure in these countries. This is the old Chinese way of diplomacy, rely on tributary states and not colonies where the people are regularly massacred for upsetting the foreign elite. But, you're too Middle American white to see that, you don't know Chinese history and didn't grow up with Chinese family.
