How China's taking over Africa, and why the West should be VERY worried

Reminiscent of the West's imperial push in the 18th and 19th centuries - but on a much more dramatic, determined scale - China's rulers believe Africa can become a 'satellite' state, solving its own problems of over-population and shortage of natural resources at a stroke.

With little fanfare, a staggering 750,000 Chinese have settled in Africa over the past decade. More are on the way.

The strategy has been carefully devised by officials in Beijing, where one expert has estimated that China will eventually need to send 300 million people to Africa to solve the problems of over-population and pollution.

The plans appear on track. Across Africa, the red flag of China is flying. Lucrative deals are being struck to buy its commodities - oil, platinum, gold and minerals. New embassies and air routes are opening up. The continent's new Chinese elite can be seen everywhere, shopping at their own expensive boutiques, driving Mercedes and BMW limousines, sending their children to exclusive private schools.

China needs Africa's resources. China has little need for Africans. As Africa becomes more chaotic, China finds herself with little choice but to step in to maintain access to needed resources.

Watch as China plays "cowboys and Africans", with the Chinese as the new cowboys. China can easily send a hundred million people over, with colonists being exempted from the "one child" rule.

And China won’t worry one bit about charges of ‘racism’; they’ll just plow right ahead and take over the whole continent.

It would be a simple matter for China to invade Brazil from West Africa.

...hmm... wonder how the ChiComs will get along with the Muslims in Africa?

China needs Africa's resources. China has little need for Africans.

So everything the West has done to help prevent African overpopulation (i.e. birth control, abortion, etc.) has been really great for China, huh?

Indian ran the shops in Uganda, for a while. Then Idi Amin ordered all Indians out of the country upon pain of death, on the theory that his cronies could steal what they left behind.

The difference is that the Indians in Uganda were individuals pursuing wealth at a time when Socialists were running India, while ... never mind.

About as well as they do with the Uighurs in western China. If they give the Chinese any trouble, they will be treated like the cowboys treated the Comanches.

As anyone who has ever been good at Risk would readily know.

It would be a simple matter for China to invade Brazil from West Africa.

The first objective will be to secure Zimbabwe and South Africa. Zimbabwe will be the easier objective -- just pay off Mugabe to let them in, in exchange for a cushy retirement package. Without China, Mugabe knows he's only got a few years before Zim descends into anarchy.

China does not screw around with Islam either. If Muslims act up they smash them. They will take over Africa. Africans had been complaining how the Chinese companies work them to death.

Be careful what you ask for China.

RE :”The plans appear on track. Across Africa, the red flag of China is flying. Lucrative deals are being struck to buy its commodities - oil, platinum, gold and minerals. New embassies and air routes are opening up. The continent's new Chinese elite can be seen everywhere, shopping at their own expensive boutiques, driving Mercedes and BMW limousines, sending their children to exclusive private schools....'The Chinese are all over the place,' says Trevor Ncube, a prominent African businessman with publishing interests around the continent. 'If the British were our masters yesterday, the Chinese have taken their place.' Likened to one race deciding to adopt a new home on another planet, Beijing has launched its so-called 'One China In Africa' policy because of crippling pressure on its own natural resources in a country where the population has almost trebled from 500 million to 1.3 billion in 50 years China is hungry - for land, food and energy. While accounting for a fifth of the world's population, its oil consumption has risen 35-fold in the past decade and Africa is now providing a third of it; imports of steel, copper and aluminium have also shot up, with Beijing devouring 80 per cent of world supplies
...Fuelling its own boom at home, China is also desperate for new markets to sell goods. And Africa, with non-existent health and safety rules to protect against shoddy and dangerous goods, is the perfect destination. “

At least China has a plan. Our plan seems to be self destruction.

ONLY 750K colonists? Big deal. We’ve got millions of invading barbarians in the US. We got a more serious problem MUCH closer to home.

[Dixie Yooper]

Haven’t we been told we already stole all the useful raw materials from Africa?

[jdfromny]

No worries, our gray president and his illustrious SecState will solve the problem so everyone except those in the world who like freedom.

“Watch as China plays “cowboys and Africans”, with the Chinese as the new cowboys. China can easily send a hundred million people over, with colonists being exempted from the “one child” rule. “

Well and all the extra single men for running the “security forces” that will be used to strong arm out the indigenous peoples.

[STONEWALLS]

“If they give the Chinese any trouble, they will be treated like the cowboys treated the Comanches.”

...yep...the ChiComs like swift retribution and don’t put up with a lot of crap...a bullet to the back of the head, followed by immediate on-site harvesting of the deceased’s organs is how they handle anti-social behavior.

So what?
The mexicans and muslims are taking over THIS COUNTRY.
A much bigger concern in my life.
