@BraaiBroodjie The way they are using AI and mass surveillance systems and censorship to monitor the restive muslim Uyghurs in Xinjiang province and where nearly 7% of the adult population of that province is being held in "re-education" camps should all give us the chills ... some of you might remember Tiamann Square.

They aren't even allowed to talk about thr Tiamann Square. The mass surveillance my friend says has only benefitted him.

@spursfan82 But that was only until Xi Jinpings vote to remove presidential terms was over

Once he became dictator he didn't care

when it comes to South Africa and Zimbabwe, it's literally all about the chrome resources over there, nothing else. China is one of the largest producers of ferrochrome in the world, yet it has absolutely no chrome resources on their territories. In order to keep producing ferrochrome (used for steel manufacturing), they have to secure South Africa (which is the largest chrome exporter in the world) and Zimbabwe in order to have their hands on the raw resources. There was a huge push in the online a couple of months ago regarding this issue, with a lot of South Africans petitioning the Government to stop the export of chrome towards China and to subsequently focus on the production of ferrochrome within South Africa (as they already had the factories for it). It might be one of the reasons why the Chinese decided to move in Zimbabwe as well.

@Arcade_Hustle Iron too, they want to build a trans Pacific railway

@Arcade_Hustle Their GDP is all smoke and mirrors .... these ghost cities are simply a symptom of keeping cement plants and construction firms going at all costs with fake "demand" ... if these firms are declared bankrupt then besides mass unemployment (not good for party control) the reckless lending practices of the various state banks and munipalities will be exposed.

It is not in anybodies interest for this to be exposed ... the west's economy will suffer badly as well and not only China.

Maybe we a need a nutjob like Trump just to be petulant enough not to listen to his Wall Street advisors to kick over the entire fairy tale.

If the Chinese do colonize SA, I wonder how they'd react when the workers strike.

Death Penalty...

@spursfan82 death penalty

Sweet.

@spursfan82 Marikana III

Don't think they plan to use black people as labor though

so bad news there

Chinese is considered 100% BEE black, they can run 100% China operations without problem.

we're back on fox news

@spursfan82 Chinese strikes are pretty common...At least when the chinese take over Nigerians smuggling coke will decrease..Death Penalty and all for drug smuggling crimes

@Rox watch them flip the fk out when they slowly realize this is about CHina

Yeah it will be too late

@Arcade_Hustle They're using black people as cheap labour for now...Once they've successfully colonised the continent is another story though

@Darkseid someone further up was saying that Mugabe didnt deal with the west.. hence the regime change

Exhibit A...Zambia

so i was asking if China is considered the west

@Rox no they are Communist.

They have the same kinds of manifesto as ANC does

@Arcade_Hustle Clearly not since China is a global super power..And SA is SA

Somehow the only country that made communism work....

If we can call a dictatorship work

yes I know ..

prolly why ANC love them

@Rox The ANC don't love them, China just doesn't have all the red tape of the west

@Rox The west has a bunch of laws when a developing nation wants to make a loan...China doesn't...China just wants resources to sustain it's economy

China... Is coming to town..

1.4 billion people and an entire continent that isn't even developed properly...Match made in heaven for the Chinese

The mistake we make is looking at it through western eyes.. they dont want to create a USA or UK.. they admire zimbabwe and iran and china.. and then we are surprised when things are going the way they are..

If you stop looking at it from a western perspective ifs all going fabulously well

So ANC is like the "H"- man. The western world got rid of him. So we can see another WW against eastern world?

@Rox It's really isn't that deep...The west colonized Africa fucked it up then left the continent to fix itself while the west still benefits from the resources of Africa. Now China comes along builds all this infrastructure in Africa opens all these businesses and offers all this financial aid. If I was as resentful as Sub saharan Africa I'd go with China too

Yeah we dont get it.. we are western and dont see it that way

@Rox Chinas end goal is to usurp the west...You were fucked over by the west..It was bound to happen
