Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged to deepen agriculture and mineral processing cooperation with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to help the African nation “transfer resource advantage into development momentum”. Meeting Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi in Beijing on Monday, Xi also vowed to consolidate “mutual political trust”, saying the two countries were “fellow travellers on the road to modernisation, and should be close friends with similar aspirations [and] mutual benefits”.

“fellow travelers”, haven’t seen that term in a while.
There is no Western credibility left to further hemorrhage in what we used to call the Third World.
The history of Chinese colonization has demonstrated their utter disregard for the incumbent populations. DRC might want to consider that.
So are you cheering on world communism or railing against it?
Tim Walz, as all of us, looked better years ago. Hard to pick him out in photos of mobs idolizing Mao.
He still keeps his “values” today, just as Ka-Mala.
Africa is a money pit and the inherent instability of the dark continent will eat them alive as it has every other colonizing power there.
Hasn’t bothered the commies any since the latter half of the last century.
I was in Kenya last month. Chinese money and development all over Nairobi, but not as much in Mombasa or the rural western part of the country. It will be interesting to who rips off who in that relationship.
“ Putin had a hugely successful African conference”
Oooh.
Impressive.
“ So are you cheering on world communism or railing against it?”
He’s total commie.
A lot of these moles here.

*This video was recorded during my backpacking trip through Yosemite in the end of July. China and Russia seemingly enjoy having their fingers in the African pie, but what are they doing there? And should we be worried?
Failure of our state department. Happening everywhere.
Doesn’t impress the dullard class.
To people who think and invest of millions of dollars on modern bases in Niger and other countries in Africa, it means a great deal. Those bases, we built them for the Russians who currently occupy them.
Ask the admin stooges’ best pal, Macron, about getting his colonialist arse thrown off the continent since. He was panty wadded in the extreme.
But for a strategic thinker like you, losing Western access to all of Africa’s resources, and giving them to Xi and Putin is something to snicker at.
What a simp.
“But it also leaves a counterterrorism gap that U.S. officials are struggling to fill as security threats from extremist groups in the Sahel grow.
One of those groups, Jama’a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin, known as JNIM, is active in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and is looking to expand into Benin and Togo. Those expansion locations could be used initially as hubs to rest, recuperate, get financing and gather weapons, according to U.S. officials, but the group also has increased attacks there.
“Niger was immensely helpful for us as a location because it was in the Sahel and it was adjacent to those areas where the threat is most concentrated,” Ekman said. Now, he said, the challenge is battling the insurgency while having to get access from outside Niger, which makes it more difficult.”!
Africa always wins. The Chinese will rue the day they attempted to colonize Africa.
China doesn’t care what others think about them.
As a matter a fact, I posted about that conference on FR. I tried to call attention to just how successful the conference was and the implications of that success. The implications I predicted? Just what has actually happened since.
The implications were above your thinking level then, you’re strutting you limited level again today.
Don’t pretend you’re pro-US.
Are you seeking to inform or just engage in ad hominems?
If someone has gotten the wrong impression of you, it does not serve to reinforce that impression.
“Africa always wins”
Hah! That’s Rich!
Western colonial powers took fabulous amounts of wealth off of the continent with nothing more lost than a few “sporting native wars” casualties (see Churchill’s “jolly good time”).
Look at the red oil France, England and Italy stole from the continent. How many millions of Africans filled the ranks of their colonial armies. WWI and WWII were ghastly examples. The only cost to the western colonialists, a ticket to hell.
Oh, I nearly forgot. This really looks like “winning”.

Shoot! I almost posted this without mentioning SLAVES!
Always wins?
Opus?
China doesn’t preach to Africa about adopting the LGBTQ agenda.
Biden and the RAT party do just that.
