I don’t really care that much. Let the Chinese go in there and invest - they can deal with the corruption, disease, rascim, claims of imperialism, etc...

Colonialism is a good thing. It should have been in our founding documents: the right to colonize.

Leaving Africa to its own devices has been a failure all around. Being taken over by China will be just the last item in a long list of failures.

Some big differences between China and the US:

(1)They will not care about being called racist or imperialist

(2)They will not hesitate to use force if some African despot tries to nationalize their assets or kill their people

(3)They have no need for Africans. They have plenty of Chinese to do the work

The net result of Chinese colonization of Africa might just resemble the British colonization of North America (which didn't work out well for the Native Americans)
