#3 Chinese locate to these countries in droves. No child limits. Big families. Purchase lands and basically take over. The silent revolution. Encourage mixed race marriages for their boys so they have blood line foothold.

#4 Encourage mixed race marriages for their boys so they have blood line foothold.

Also beneficial for college entrance, research grants, business development and employment preferences. Virtually no downside I'd say.

#5 A plus is that Zimbabwe has a large Christian population and a small Muslim population.

#6 Cool. Get the commies to adopt the basket case countries of the world. Suck some of that GDP right down the proverbial black hole. You think you have corruption back home, welcome to Africa.

#7 It'll work until the "war veterans" realize they've lost their land again. Then, so solly...

#8 Good luck to both parties. After the Chinese fix Zim, they can backtrack to Mozambique, go long to Zambia or Angola, or go big: Democratic Republic of the Congo. Set up a "good" trade loop, and we could mix emergent flu and poultry viruses with Ebola and Lassa.

#9 Ed, I think that's snark, but maybe it's just prescience.

#10 Only took the Chinese about forty-odd years. But then again they plan for the long game

#11 Hey in the end - China is better then Mugabe.

Not really. They supported him for 40 years as he tore Zimbobwe down, now they're going to bring in their own people and rebuild.

#12 Looks like Farmin B. Hard is going to the laogai!

Snark of the day.

#13 The Canadians are busy in Namibia. So, all the news from the region is not bad.

#14 China is house-flipping a nation. Good luck with that.

#17 Will they change the name back to Rhodesia?

#18 China is house-flipping a nation. Good luck with that.

Not exactly a nation.

#20 State- andor OWG "Union" control of strategic commodities-resources as required for future OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order + Space Exploration-Colonization.

Not the only reason but certainly one of the biggies.

The "Great Game" doesn't stop wid OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order - by extension, neither does the need for OWG or Space-focused "Pecking Order".

["STAR WARS"' MILLENIUM FALCON + "KESSEL RUN" here].
