| #12 Surprised nobody has built a South Africa to Egypt rail line already. Cecil Rhodes wanted to do it in the 19th century. |

| #11 Procopius2k, that is exactly why i would have thought the UN or NGOs would have pushed such an idea long ago. |

| #10 ....Has to be something of value at both ends and along the line to be useful, and not ripped off by every kleptocracy along the way. The latter sort of kills off the ROI. |

| #8 One could almost believe the Chinese were building the California High-Speed Fail System. Now there's an idea for California, allow a couple 100 thousand illegal Chinese in to build it. It's not like they haven't built one before. Sort of allows more diversity in your population and more people you don't feel bad about discriminating against again. |

| #6 One could almost believe the Chinese were building the California High-Speed Fail System. Actually, that doesn't take a very big stretch of the imagination. |

| #3 I subscribe to the China Uncensored Youtube channel. You can criticize him for over sensationalising the material, but he is solid on the facts. I'd say he is more reliable than most MSM reporting on China. |

| #2 This man is retarded and his videos about China should not be viewed by anyone. |

| #1 Might help explain Kenya's buying of non-IED resistant military vehicles from China, as discussed here in a recent article. |
