For at least a couple of years on FR, I've been seeing this coming.

China needs the mineral resources of southern Africa (South Africa and Zimbabwe). China does NOT need the Africans. They have millions of excess peasants who can come over and work the mines and the farms. The Africans will then be treated like the American Indians: driven off or killed

In exchange for being the figurehead who allows this, Mugabe will be allowed to retire to a nice estate in China, and will bring along all the women he wants to grab

Now there is a far more likely scenario then the "benevolent Chinese" being pushed by many.

True.Anything the Chinese do in Africa is for the benefit of the CHINESE,not the Africans.
And if Africans thought the WHITE colonialists were brutal and racist,wait till they get a taste of racism Oriental style!

Exactly!! China would love to push all Africans into the ocean and make Africa a Chinese continent. Unlimited children will be allowed of course. Might happen in our lifetimes.

China needs lebensraum and Africa fits the bill
