Yeah, uhh huh...like the UN, IAEA, Obamakov, Bugs Bunny or anybody else is going to do squat to stop it!
A President with a set and not in lockstep with anti-American jackasses would go in and assbackwards hell hole. But them again Somalia and a host of other two-bit punk nations qulaify for such justifiable treatment.

Zimbabwe, back when it was still Rhodesia, was known as "the breadbasket of Africa" because of its productive agriculture. Now it's one of the poorest crapholes on the planet. The "social justice" visited upon white farmers throughout the 1990s saw to that.
South Africa is experiencing the same thing, at a somewhat slower rate.

Great, strong ChiCom ties, I shoulda known!
Well, the world needs more parking lots, IMO!

China has staked a major claim on the African continent. Right now it may fit into the narrative of solidarity against the evil white, Western oppressors of the past. I think, though, Africa is going to find out it has replaced one set of colonials with another. The Chinese are extracting enormous quantities of Africa's mineral resources, and I don't see the continent becoming any wealthier for it.

The new colonials will be referred to as "Master".

Africa is always being exploited, the only thing different anout this fact in recent decades is that they are allowing themselves to be exploited. Voluntary imposed imperialism to foreign powers, no matter what they call it, that's what it is, they go out and seek their ideological soulmates, and the ChiCom's are their first choice? Sink or swim with your friends people, don't expect me to care a damn about either ones fate!
