  1. One more reason I am not worried is that the more people are familiar with China and the CCP, the less they like them. After China, the United States and Europe look pretty good.

  2. Africa has been dealing colonization and the threat of colonization for 500 years. Don't you think that they know how to handle China?? China is very new to the colonization game. And, they are very bad at it. 1. Colonization can ONLY be done with force, or the threat of force. 2. China cannot impose military force on ANY African country. First, it is too far away, and does not have the right kind of navy to impose its will. Secondly, US & EU won't allow China to use its army in Africa unopposed. 3. African countries know how to play the money game -- better than China. Will they take China's money?? You betcha. Will they pay it back?? Doubtful. Why would they?? African countries have denied their debts many times. But, they will thank China for the infrastructure. BTW.. That is how the US got much of its railroad infrastructure in the 1800's. British money men would invest in US railroads. They would go bankrupt. BUT --- track had been laid, bridges built, and rolling stock acquired. They would become the assets of a follow on AMERICAN railroad. UK guys were taken to the cleaners several times.

  3. Any Chinese attempt to colonize Africa will fail for one simple reason --- it lacks military power in Africa. ALL colonies existed because of the power of military enforcement. Even the bank takeover of Egypt by the British had to use the threat of military force to enforce it. ANY debt of an African country to China large enough to cause "debt colonization", will just be denied and unpaid by the African country. China could do nothing about that. It cannot send an army to collect its debt, or to enforce payment of any kind. So, I am not at all worried about increasing Chinese influence in Africa.
