China steps in to replace the US in Africa

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

China is looking like they have stable, responsible leadership

The U.S. is not

Through your eyes. I don't see through your eyes. Trump is not playing kick the can. He seems to be about getting things done.

Globally, Trump is openly mocked and not trusted

He is in over his head

Well, that makes two of you!

 

[evenflow1969]

China has been making deals and signing contracts all over Africa for the last couple of decades.

To blame it on Trump is idiotic. .....

The Chinese aint calling these countries shitholes.

Ask any Chinese businessman or worker who gets sent by his company to there. I'm sure there are plenty of Chinese words for "shithole".

The chinese all ready live in a shit hole I am not sure they would notice any difference from home!

I kind of like the fact that I can get away with calling a place a shit hole without getting into trouble but the famous can not. You see I knew there was an advantage to being average!

So you're in favor of industrial colonialism?

African countries prefer the Chinese by far to the Americans and Europeans. This is because China doesn't have the bad tradition of colonial mastery, plus the Chinese credit and business terms are much more friendly to local corruption practices. The Chinese are worse for the people though there.

China also doesn't tell people off about Human Rights. China wants something, you can slaughter half your population, China doesn't care.

Maybe that is the right way of thinking though. High ideals kill more people than profiteering and greed.

Well.... people seem to want to kill no matter what their claim to think.

I'm not sure if the high ideals of the US have killed more people than the Nazis or the Soviets etc. Though, the US is no saint even though it claims to promote Human Rights.

I think the high ideals of the USA are not high but rather practicalities. They serve individual survival. The bill of rights says life Liberty happiness. The Nazis and the Soviets, now those are real high ideals. They say fraternity and equality and other bullshit.

Well, the US says "democracy", then they go and fund a group that helped to take down the democratically elected leader of Venezuela.

Ideals? No, read my signature. It's true for the US in every way.

Africa: China Steps Into Soft Power Vacuum As the U.S. Retreats Under Trump

Soft power.

Nobody does anything for nothing.

Isolationism is not a valid strategy.

Good, Africa is a bottomless black pit of need.

my African friends don't like china much , i am 100% sure that the democratic ex colonial powers do better then the Hans in Africa , and must do more

While the U.S. has been spending 100's of billions of dollars to build military bases around the world and kicking down the doors of 3rd world farmers looking for terrorists.

The Chinese have been going all over Africa and South America building schools, hospitals, and paving roads for the local population. Which has resulted in lucrative mining contracts and long term leases on natural resources. .....

While China has been doing exactly that, they've also been flooding Africa and the Middle East with Chinese-made AK-47's. There's something like 70 million of them in the world today, made in China as well and Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, North Korea. Most of them you'd find in Africa came from China.

AK-47's., you made a great point here,

And you know this how? You are repeating the big lie the MSM and the networks are repeating.

See how Trump had to cancel his trip to longtime ally England yesterday?
You know England, the country we saved in WWII

They are outraged that THIS President would set foot in their country

And they are letting their culture disintegrate before their eyes. Can you find an example I should worry about?

British culture is just fine

Our ability to spread our culture and values around the globe is crippled

Most Left wing fools say we have no culture. That is what Sweden said. Look where they are. And to deny Britain is caving to Islam is ridiculous and you know it.

Sweden said our leader has no culture

They are correct

No, because that need is generated by the colonial powers.
