[Niuhuru]

The Chinese understand the tactics of colonization through what they learned being subjugated by the Powers. They are going right by the colonization handbook.

What kind of round would give such a poor kill ratio. Shotgun, small shot?

[Vigilanteman]

FWIW, it did make page A12 of yesterday's Wall Street Journal. But I've seen it nowhere else.

[popdonnelly]

Colonialism.

[Niuhuru]

The Chinese need space, farmland, and more of a breather away from the government. Africa offers this. The difference between the Chinese and Indians is that the Chinese are skilled in cruelty and sadism and have the lack of PC that will make them effective in fighting back. Zambia runs a high risk of the Chinese moving in and so do each and every other African country that is currently fixated on white racism. Or Indians. If the Chinese have the chance to have larger families and avoid the one child policy, they will move to Africa or anywhere else to do that. Africa is a win-win situation for a Chinese who can’t make it in the Mainland.

Greed is a deadly sin that goes both ways.

If you covet what your neighbor has, plotting to steal his wealth and “redistribute it” is ALSO sinful. The sin begins at COVET, not THEFT.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I’m sure many Chinese are not skilled with firearms since it’s their police and government that controls them, not the average citizen or executive.

[Ditto]

Whitey at his worst is an amateur compared to China.

I think Leopold II could probably teach the Chinese a few things about brutality against Africans.

[Niuhuru]

Yeah, well, Africans have been doing it to the whites and Indians who made Africa their homes.

[Deaf Smith]

I don't think that they're up to the point of being “One riot, one Chinaman."

*Texas Ranger reference.

[The Comedian]

If the media went over there and protested, the Chinese would shoot them too.

Despite that fact, I do not approve of the Chinese activity in Africa.

I’m sure many Chinese are not skilled with firearms since it’s their police and government that controls them...

A very high percentage of young Chinese spend time in the Peoples Liberation Army and they know to handle an AK-47. It would be a bad assumption to think they know nothing about weapons.

[Niuhuru]

I’m sure that the Chinese have already studied his tactics. At this point, I am sure that the Central Government in China is waiting for an excuse to send in troops.

[Niuhuru]

They’re too buys likcing Obama’s boots.

[PapaBear3625]

Practically, I wonder, aren't the Chinese out of practice in colonial oppression (excepting Tibet)?

They have plenty of practice dealing with dissidents of their own race. They will just deal with Africans similarly but more harshly.

[SharpRightTurn]

So, “people of color” unload on “people of color”.

Got Diversity?

[Wolfie]

But we sure taught Cuba a lesson.

[Ax]

I’ve always said the recolonization of Africa is the only way to save those poor people, but this wasn’t what I had in mind.

[headsonpikes]

Anyone who wanted an ‘end to history’ got off on the wrong planet.

Here on Earth it’s business as usual.

FWIW,if I were Chinese, I’d welcome an opportunity to establish myself in Tanzania, for instance, and make my own way in life. It’s not all that dissimilar from a Brit shipping out to America in the early 1700s.
