Let's say the Chinese brought lots of their people into Zimbabwe to get the country rolling again. Lots of young men of military age. And lets say that after a while the ZANU-PF thugs decide to hassle the Chinese.
Would the world care at this stage if the Chinese decided to arm their immigrants, and the Chinese proceeded to exterminate the Zimbabweans?
If that were to happen, I would suspect world would care to a degree. It won’t go unnoticed.
However, Chinese would be out of their mind if they think they have reached a point where they can occupy a Country and face insurgency thousands of miles away.
Their economic interest would be wiped out at that point.
Its costing us 10 billion a month to stay in Iraq.
Chinese would be dreaming if they thought they could afford to engage in that behavior.
