In China, better rich than red by H.D.S. Greenway November 6, 2007
"An interesting phenomenon is China's efforts to virtually acquire Africa. Chinese interest in Africa goes back to Zhou Enlai's efforts in the 1950s. But recent investments in a continent that so much of the rest of the world has written off as hopeless has little to do with ideology, and everything to do with business.
China has no interest in Africa's politics, it was explained to me by a Chinese academic. What China wants is Africa's commodities and hopes to enter into a mutually beneficial relationship with Africa to get them.
Chinese wonder at the Bush administration's zeal to promote democracy, even by force - prompting a Chinese friend to say that there were only four ideology-driven countries left in the world: Cuba, North Korea, perhaps Iran, and the United States."
Ours is a FASCIST ideology!
Sig Heil!!!!
