The comments are interesting. I was in Africa several years ago. Some airports were full of Chinese workers, both coming in and returning home. |

And some people dare to claim that colonialism in Africa is long over. Dan |

I'm cautiously optimistic about the China-Africa connection. The Chinese will actually get stuff built, and their own expertise with corruption will help them make sure that money allocated to building stuff will be used for that purpose instead of being siphoned off to dictators' overseas bank accounts. Of course, they probably won't hesitate to bribe dictators as needed, so their budgets will just include the amounts needed. |

"The Chinese will actually get stuff built, and their own expertise with corruption will help them make sure that money allocated to building stuff will be used for that purpose instead of being siphoned off to dictators' overseas bank accounts." LOL. They periodically execute their own government officials for corruption. I doubt they'll have better luck than anyone else. |
