  1. Why? What can they contribute? Too many of them will never be able to support themselves and their families.

  4. The EU should scrap tariffs unilaterally. The quest for export markets is the old seventeenth century Mercantilism that refuses to die.

  5. Neo-colonialism. Infrastructure creates and enhances land values. If land rental values are not collected through the tax system, this investment will just lead to a widening of the gap between the rich landowners and kleptocrat minority, and the poverty stricken poor. The gap is the biggest driver of migration. The EU should just remove its tariff barriers unilaterally and leave the rest to markets. The manic scramble for markets is a relic of discredited seventeenth century Mercantilism. The EU should keep its nose out. The Chinese intervention will go sour in the end. Most of Africa will remain an economic and political basket case for the foreseeable future. It is the tribal structure.

  6. China is just acting as a colonial power. It will go sour eventually. The EU should keep its snout out of the toilet bowl that Africa has always been. Funny that the EU hasn't noticed that its internal problems need to be given priority.

  7. The purpose of an economy is not to make stuff and flog it to foreigners.
