God only knows what grift Biden is over there to solicit on behalf of his family associates benefactors…..great place to deal with corrupt actors controlling access to great wealth and resources, out of the eye of the mainstream
That’s just where the money is.
We won’t be competing with China with Biden in charge.
China comes into a resource rich environment and they pay the bribes; build the mines/factories; staffs it with their own people (except the slaves); and then they keep out of the dictator’s way.
When the US goes into the situation, we bring a lot of strings to our money. The US is concerned with things like human rights, safety, and the imposition of our moral codes.
I think our way is better for “the world.” But if I am looking to retain power in an African dump of a country....I would go with China every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Back in the mid-70s a (Belgian?) rescue operation was executed to get some folks out of Kolwezi.
i wonder how many (if any) of the virtue-signalling EV buyers have any clue regarding the ridiculous fragility of a critical material supplied by an unstable 3rd-world country that’s necessary to build and maintain their precious virtue-signalling EVs?
Biden will sabotage all he can to hurt America and Trump. China owns Biden anyway. His whole rotten family has made fortunes with Chinese pay offs.

Chinese casinos... pay the workers the minimum, then get even that back by hooking them on gambling.
Like the old whiskey trade in North America. Pay for skins, get the hunters drunk and end up getting the trade silver back, too.
The port of Lobito is also situated on the Atlantic — closer to the U.S. and Europe than Africa’s more widely used Indian Ocean ports.
Perfect for smuggling drugs from ports in the Americas too, I suppose. Truck and car thefts have skyrocketed in the US in recent years, with stolen US vehicles ending up in Africa, so I heard.
It says we don’t have any companies over there but every country can use the port ... so what are we getting out of the deal besides a bill and bribes for the Big Guy?
