Unless there is military occupation involved, the most you can call it is economic imperialism. Otherwise you sound just as ridiculous as the Soviets calling Americans imperialists during the Cold War. Figures of speech is for liberals.

You may be right in your implied double standards by the academic elite. But then again, the flip side is, the plight of Sudan was barely on the minds of many until China became involved.

I've mentioned the plight of what is going on in Sudan many a times on the FR before and have been called a bleeding heart liberal (which I am not). However, now that China is in the equation, Sudan suddenly gets notice here.

For many on this board, the concern isn't so much for Africa as it is that China is expanding her influence in the world. And what is happening in Africa is a convenient reason to confront China.
