With its growing surveillance, China may soon dictate grounds for functioning in African countries

solid explanation of why everybody fails in Africa

Do you get what he's even rambling about? It's not about Chinese expansion into Africa at all; it's just a white guy rambling about foreign aid and intervention from a foreign aid perspective.

And all he's got to say about China is "PRC doesn’t have that kind of money to throw around" LOL!

So you are the one still who should just stop it, if some rambling blog post like this, not even on point, is what you are basing the complacency you promote on.

Everything you said could have also been said about Britain in the colonial days.

Which of my points can be applied to Britain? As a refresher:

1. China not limited to early 1900's methods of transportation, farming, infrastructure and building.

2. Chinese, being non-white, are "investors" and "immigrants" rather than colonists.

3. Chinese have less concern over human rights and self-determination of other nations.

4. Chinese have even more need to expand into other lands than did Europeans and Arabs.

5. China's engineered shortage of females further impels expansion and generation of mixed race people with loyalty to China.

...Colonization may be checked by defeat or reduction of power after a world war (such as many European nations).

Only the last one has a possibility of applying to China too.

I’ve been thinking that China is assembling Social Credit Scores for the other 6.6 Billion people who DO NOT live in China. And then, after they get strong enough, they’ll use that information to deal with the people who they conquer...which could easily be all of the world.

I kind of apathetic about the whole thing. If China can somehow make Africa productive, more power to them. Then Africa will be less of a drain on the rest of the world.
