cook the rice pay the price

They've built entire cities that have been left unoccupied, waiting for waves of Chinese settlers by their millions.

@Arcade_Hustle The future of Africa is Asian

I always knew there was an upside to raising my kids as good little socialists and sending them to school that offers Mandarin :).

Seems so!

@Deleted User Your kids are in for a surprise since China is shifting to capitalism

@Arcade_Hustle The Soviets gave you everything for free as long as you the hammer and sickle in your flag ... these Chinese fuckers will fuck you over and they will smile while doing it to you :).

@Deleted User you should of sended them to a British school cuz the British are becoming communist.

@Darkseid west= western livestyles

@Meerkat_RSA Scandinavian countries

@Meerkat_RSA I know I'm just trying to figure out how Lady bird's comment correlates..Like what is she referring to or who is she replying to

I've got a friend and his brother now giving school in China. He says that communism only works in china. They don't have Youtube, Facebook or Google.

@Darkseid Since they have become teenagers they have become iPhone - Yeezy - loving Western Infidels sucking my bank account dry 😩

GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 7!

@Deleted User iPhone is a western phone made in china

@Deleted User Capitalism always win...

No freedom of speech. If you get caught with any substance that is declared illegal then you will be executed. If you are found guilty of rape or murder you will be executed.

A good communist is a dead communist.

GG @Meerkat_RSA, you just advanced to level 5!

"used to work in that area, I know what happens behind the shadows. Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Ghana, all of these countries will be completely fucked in the near future. They are literally hiding away their real debt levels from the public, if you actually see the real numbers you'd go crazy. And yea, you're pretty much right - they are just waiting for the perfect moment to start colonizing the areas, everything is already in place. Heck, there's already a huge demographic boom of Chinese in Africa."

If they do bring communism here and implement the death penalty.. Polsmoor would go empty verry fast.

@BraaiBroodjie Winnie the Pooh is banned because he was compared to the president...Citizens have a good citizens score or some shit where citizens with a bad scores can't get property in certain areas and shit..

GG @Darkseid, you just advanced to level 21!

Ja i saw that

China only builds cities like this to inflate it's GDP.

while this may be the case for the ghost cities that are located in China, it's not the same for Africa - most of the cities have been built in anticipation of a huge wave of Chinese workers that will soon move to these African countries as to work in the projects there (most of them being related to resource extraction). The Chinese bring heavy equipment and "know-how", the Africans provide the actual manpower (literally slaves, as they have no working benefits, not even health insurance).

isn't a letter banned in China as well. Like the letter M or something, can't remember which.

@spursfan82 N

@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.
