China tries to colonise Africa

It is not jingoistic if we say that despite the greed enacted in the past by individuals and companies exploiting the mineral riches of Africa - King Leopold of the Belgians being a classic case, many administrators of the British and French empire territories did devote their lives to trying to improve the lot of the African. Be that as it may, the liberal-left intelligentsia of today do their best to indoctrinate a guilt complex amongst our youth into believing that everything about the British Empire in particular was evil and oppressive. Little, if anything at all, is said about the new ‘Colonial’ power that is trying to take over Africa.

China is building up an economic empire in Africa, and its trade there totalled nearly £30 billion last year. China now buys one third of its oil from Africa, mainly from Nigeria and Angola. Taking no notice of the slaughter in Darfur being carried out by the Moslem government in the Sudan, China has built a 900-mile pipeline there to carry oil to the coast, costing around £8 billion.. Beijing has also acquired copper mines in Zambia, where it is stated that all health and safety regulations are ignored, textile factories in Lesotho and retail developments in almost every major township, including South Africa.

China is not bothered about the reputations of some of Africa’s worst despotic rulers and will do deals with them all. Mugabe’s party in Zimbabwe has received Chinese money for at least 30 years and the Zanu-PF national headquarters in Harare was built by China.
