"China might well own the continent in century, and there might be more Chinese than Africans living there."

Yup.

The Africans will then be living in 3rd world Europe under Sharia law.

Is anyone else alarmed by this?

At least they think it’s stacked. God’s plan will keep going just as he has said.
