  1. Here's the definition of colonialism: "The policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically." Is China invading Africa and taking their lands by force? No. Is China flooding Africa with immigrants and taking control of African people? No. Sure, some Chinese people have settled in Africa, but only temporarily due to them having to work on Africa's infrastructure. Have you seen any other country do that for another? China isn't trying to enforce any of its policies or government onto the African people, neither is it exploiting Africa's economy, on the contrary it's actually helping it grow from its 20 years of little to no economical growth (1980-2000). But with the leaders Africa has now....the outcome may result in some form of neo-colonialiasm or something similar. Also, I'd like to comment on how you call this...what's the word? "Propaganda". I'm actually pretty surprised as I thought the West was all too familiar with it, you guys should know the difference. Cough Anti-Chinese Western Media *Cough*. (It's a joke, don't take it too seriously)

  2. So, you’re basically saying China shouldn’t be allowed to do anything big and should read the Art Of War by Sun Tsu?

  3. Robert Shrewsbury Okay. But how is China being the terrorist here? How is China being a “bully”? I don’t see you complaining about how America is bombing innocents in Syria and has built hundreds of military bases around the world. Just some food for thought.
