African central planning meets Chinese central planning. Result: double the economic inefficiency.

It wasn’t built for the Angolans. It was built for future Chinese colonists. You watch.Yep ---
I wonder if they were built with that notorious Chinese sheetrock???

Yet they use their own people almost exclusively, saying Africans are lazy or violent.
The foreigners are just doing the work the Africans won’t do.
