Don't worry. If the Chinese make it work, the Zimbabweans will shoot them and take back the land.

I don't think so. These will be Chicom state owned enterprises and when they say jump Mugabe will say 'how high?'.

The Chinese as the whites will make it work. Those communist stick together. One day Zim will be a chinese country with very few blacks left.

It is more likely to work the other way. The Bantu in Rhodesia enjoyed a very benign White presence; one which provided them with Hospitals and Schools, and stopped the tribal slaughter, causing the population explosion since. The Chinese will not likely provide the like, and may very well embrace genocide at some future time. While Chinese "Communism" has definitely moved to the right economically fpor utilitarian rather than moral reasons, there is no evidence that they have become more humanitarian or any less ruthless than was Chairman Mao, whose original revolution killed many tens of millions of Chinese.

The idea that they would be more tolerant of another race is absurd.

Then the idiots will starve again.

I don't think the Chinese would put up with that.

You mistake ChiComs for some politically-correct Europeans. If Zimbabweans shoot Chinese people on Chinese-owned land, the Chinese will treat it as an act of war

I've been wondering for a couple of years when the Chinese would make their move in southern Africa. It's resource-rich, and weakly held. All the Chinese need to do is give Mugabe some $$$ and offer to keep him in power and luxury until he dies of old age, and he'll turn over the keys to them.

Zimbabwe's black population is just 12 million. The Chinese can put a million men of military age over there without noticing. And they WILL get lots of volunteers if they tell the settlers they are exempt from the "one child" policy.

If the blacks get annoying, the Chinese will treat them how the cowboys treated the Indians. The Chinese realize that the only way to hold onto the wealth of southern Africa is to put their own people there, and exterminate or drive off the native Africans
