Yeah I'm sure you've got the books lying in front of you right now and not just relying on some vague propaganda from the usual sources wink

Ah yes, it must be... Russian propaganda that China uses business deals instead of raping, enslaving, and colonizing like the West did... And you're claiming this under a story where the oppressed populations just keep telling the former colonizers to get the fuck out or die; not a story of them kicking out China.

Well I hoped you could back up your claim that the Chinese are paying more for African resources "than all western corpos combined" but I guess you primarily want to type some 'strong man' language instead lol
