They may have invested large sums in Africa, just as we did, but they will get a far harder kicking as our Investment was private. China‘s investment Has been state and the result will be the same.
corruption can be sorted in your own country but as soon as you start jailing people in far distant lands youwill have major problems
When I was in China in 1991 we were in a place called Kunming in the south walking down the street when a procession of army trucks went down the street everyone stopped to watch them pass and then got on with their business. The next day we were at the train station and were looking at the daily newspaper which they pinned to the wall so everyone got to see what was going on. Those trucks were full of corrupt local government officials who were then taken to the local football stadium put in the centre circle and dispatched in front of a crowd with a bullet to the back of the head luckily there were pictures as my chinese is n't so good as to be able to work all this out without them. But I am pretty sure that the average Chinese in the street is very happy with the leadership that has moved them from poverty to a fair standard of living over the last two decades.Bubonic plague is a thing and has been going at very low levels in some countries for decades. The USA gets a few cases a year. Weird disease.
Bubonic Plague yep I was at a Lunch on Saturday where a lady announced that they had had it last year on their farm but it was n't anything to worry about.
