In 100 years there may be more Chinese than Africans in Africa.

It’s interesting...

on the one hand, I found an article lamenting the high youth unemployment due to better-Educated Kenyans getting all the jobs and Tanzania’s population having a very high percentage of yourh.

Then there’s another article lamenting child labor in the mines... so the NGOs are pushing for a crackdown on mines, especially “unlicensed” ones, as if taking the jobs away will then give kids more time to study. The problem I see with that is that the crackdown will put the heaviest pressure on locally owned mines while multinational mines will have no problem getting licenses and bribing inspectors, so eventually all the land will be in foreign hands, and jobless kids still won’t be able to study.

Of course as it happens, the Clintons have been nosing around Tanzania and this is also where one of Hillary’s helpers has been investing... the one with a company called Black Ivy.

Would not be surprised, what with all the natural gas being discovered. Norwegians are there too.

Just skimming thru links bere... looks like the Clinton Foundation’s been involved in this project in Tanzania that’s supposed to be a cooperative arrangement between government, the Masai herdsmen, and various other interests including Thompson Safaris. As a result over 25% if the land is now in government hands. Sounds like some think it is turning into one of those old Cherokee land swindles.

Sounds a little like what’s being done in the US western states too:

Can’t tell what the photo captioned “Hillary Clinton Shop” is... maybe she took a Thomson Safaris tour ow was an investor..

Never happen.

The Chinese overlord paid off the plantation head, the President, and he will use his troops to make sure the rest stay in line.

Any bloodshed will be black on black, no Chinese will be touched.

African blacks and American blacks have different temperments and attitudes. Blacks in Tanzania don’t have the attitude of a perpetually aggrieved minority .... because they are not a minority.

[Jimmy Valentine]

The Chinese need to read Kipling. “When your goal is nearest, your hope for others sought, watch sloth and heathen folly bring all your works to naught”.

[eclecticEel]

In 100 years there may be more Chinese than Africans in Africa.

Given the current birthrates of the continent vs. the PRC, that seems highly unlikely.

The "Bros" might just get a surprise and find out how ruthless the Chinese can be when somebody tries to take away their stuff.

And when that happens, I will laugh and laugh.

[Travis McGee]

If it was just a matter of the birth rate in China today vs the birth rate of Africans in Africa today, yes.

I’m not thinking that Chinese colonists will hold down their birth rate, or support the Africans.
