#1 Regime change back in the day:

In 1976, backed by British leaders and the "world community," U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger summoned Smith to Geneva and gave him a heavy dose of power politics. If Rhodesia would not agree to immediately allow majority rule, Smith was told, her oil supplies would be cut off and more sanctions would be imposed.

Yes indeed. The destruction of the predominately white, American 'middle class' anomaly is paramount. We must constandly be reminded; "You didn't build that."

#5 Chinese in ZimBobwe taking over farms.

Is that cultural appropriation or colonialism?
How strongly do you think Beijing will support this if the locals decide that yellow is no better than white?

#6 Little different than ME families and gas station/corner stores. Easy to engage if you're the right ethnicity, have government support and use strong family ties for slave labor.

#7 So. The Chinese colonization of Africa has begun. I find myself unable to root for either side. Is it kosher to hope that they all fail?
