Is This Good for Business? It it good for Africa?
Guys Africa is where the money Is. I don't know why we are running away from it.

[Somalian_Boqor]

Thats It I am going to work on a business plan.

[Rabshoole]

It is where the money is at, but I don't think its good for Africa, it seems to me like the chinese are their to wipeout their natural resources in return for helping the natives with simple shit that they could've done it themselves without the help of anyone.

Its 2009 I don't understand why African Countries Need the Chinese to Help them built simple stuff like Roads.

anyways it's better than aid at least the Chinese are doing business and directly helping the local economy.

XXXX: There were villains, locked away for twelve years for robbing a bank of ten grand, doing time with drippy hippies who were doing twelve months for smuggling two million quid's worth of puff. I mean, work it out, mate. We're in the wrong f-king game.

China has a billion people, of course they need a new place to rape natural resources

Sudan




Angola, fastest growing economy on African continent after 28 years of war

[Somalian_Boqor]

Well I hope we got some natural resources for them so these fockers can come and built every single city in Somalia.

[Advo]

China is looking out for her ineterst

[mahdi01]

Africa is a virgin land that all the world powers are interested, but when you look it deep some of the crises of Africa is related to the natural resources of the continent, Chinese are less evil than the European thieves that have been robbing centuries this continent, but terrible on the human right side, look at china it has Authoritarian government that represses its minority ethnics like Tibets and Uighurs. What model of good governance it can teach Africa.

however in the Business category China is getting crazy about Africa and changing many neighborhoods, Somalia is the self defeating sister of the continent that left behind in the Boom and other than the wireless industry everything else is Zero.

[Voltage]

Sometimes I think the whole "economic crisis" was purposely made to stunt China's rising economic power.

With that said, Chinese investment in Africa is just as evil as the West taking advantage there but the thing the West has that China doesn't is a free society that can hold their governments accountable or make awareness.

The Chinese cannot check and balance their own self so their rape of Africa will be hassle-free in their country's part.
