You sound like a Chinese troll.
It might be something a chinese person might say, but I am saying it because it is also what people in these third world countries are saying, and even people from the first world.
Watch Top Gear when they go to Africa for their various road trips and look at the excellent roads they travel on... they mention they are built by the Chinese and not America or Britain or France... or any western country.
The west is a closed box... we get told that this or that place is like this but most of the time it is BS.... if Venezuela was the shit hole the western media claimed it was you would think the people of Venezuela would jump at the chance America offered to impose a new leader that would steal everything from them and sell out to the west. It seems the Venezuelan people know better than we do and they protected themselves from the evil of the US... in Africa it is the same regarding the west vs China and Russia.
Do you think it is an accident that your description of how China will screw Africa for its resources so closely mirrors western interactions with Africa and China for the last 400 years? Do you not think it is actually a case of the west blaming china for stuff the west has been doing to try to make them look like the bad guys?
Because you can bet your ass when Russia starts signing contracts in Africa they will say the exact same about Russia too because they are afraid of competition from countries that actually offer to deliver the stuff they have been promising for centuries but never delivered...
Kenya, Tajikistan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and several African, Asian countries have had their strategic assets, such as their resources, mineral deposits, port access rights, and the like, targeted by Chinese creditors as collateral in many of these predatory deals.
The west has already done that, so they will be well prepared to look after themselves.
Of course there are nasty two faced chinese criminals out to exploit anyone they can... just as there are Russians and French and English and American people who are the same. The difference is that the French and English and Americans and other white people have been doing this for a century... not only africa and asia and central and south america but also to China and Russia too... it is time to stop the cycle of raising yourself up while holding everyone else down like America and the west does on a daily basis.
I would take Chinese "corruption" over Anglo-European imperialist rape any day. It is self-evident to anyone who does not have
an agenda that Chinese make much more fair arrangements in Africa than western hypocrites. That Chinese actually want profits
from their ventures is not a crime.
X2... it is like America jumping up and down saying their MIGHT be spyware in Huawei hardware so don't anyone use it... we know for a fact that internationally used communications equipment is compromised by the US for the purposes of spying... so Huawei stuff actually sounds better than anything else at the moment.
There might be back doors... the chinese government might be able to access all my communications... I am less afraid of that than handing over access to the US government which has a clear track record of abusing and misusing information its gets hold of... the US government is much more frightening than the Chinese government...
by the same token, the Brits, French & Japanese also built them in India, Vietnam & Korea; yet, all those colonizers were forced to leave.
But that is the difference... China is not there to take over, to command the local government do as they say... they are there to sell stuff and to buy stuff and building hospitals and schools means a stronger smarter local workforce if they get jobs with their companies locally.
The Brits and French and Japs were there to rape and pillage resources... China is there to do business and make the place better so that business can be more productive.
To be fought/taken over is the lot of all resource rich &/ strategically placed islands- Malta, Crete, Cyprus, Sicily, Sakhalin, Kuriles, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hawaii, Diego Garcia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Iceland & the Falklands r prime examples.
China... as well as Russia are not in a position or the mindset to invade and conquer and steal land from other countries. They might support a freedom fighter group to kick out an oppressor, but they are not going to seize territory like Guam or Iceland... that is something America and Britain and France did.
I just hope that the Greenlanders won't be shortchanged by the Americans like native Guamise & Hawaiians were.
Is there any chance they will change and actually be nice? They care about Greenlanders like they care about ordinary Iranians under and oppressive Iranian regime... sanctions and let them all die...
@Big Gazza... You need to calm down... and take some deep breaths... what you are saying is not wrong, but you need to express yourself better.
In ur opinion, would Australia be better off as a Chinese province?
That is the core of your error. China doesn't want to occupy and take over... they want to trade with the locals and when they try to get a local work force to run the farms they build and they find out most can't even read and write in their native language and most are sick and weak and that they can't deliver food from these farms to the local ports because the dirt roads are not passable 3 months of the year then they start to invest in schools and hospitals and build decent roads.
They might have to train the locals to build roads... they might teach them to make good quality roads for themselves... the point is that they have not sent in troops and bombed the capital like the west does and then install a government that is subservient to them that they can then bleed money from and make sure no workers rights legislation goes through and that minimum wage is unknown by the locals.
The west does that, and you know... suggesting China or Russia or any other non western non colonial country will be as heartless and despicable as the west has been over the last few centuries is shameful... but also shamelessly promoted by western media like CNN and the BBC so they can claim to be the good guys.
Pathetic.
