The China Menace: Seeking To Colonize Africa.

Tue Jul 22, 2008 at 08:04:26 PM PDT

In an astounding realization of Sir Francis Galton’s (cousin of Charles Darwin and himself a noted African explorer) idea to "tame" Africa:

"My proposal is to make the encouragement of Chinese settlements of Africa a part of our national policy, in the belief that the Chinese immigrants would not only maintain their position, but that they would multiply and their descendants supplant the inferior Negro race."

"I should expect that the African seaboard, now sparsely occupied by lazy, palavering savages, might in a few years be tenanted by industrious, order-loving Chinese, living either as a semidetached dependency of China, or else in perfect freedom under their own law."

China is advancing a systematic and sweeping colonization and exploitation of the continent of Africa, while arming and instigating tribal warfare among Africans in the process.

Andrew Malone of the Daily Mail Online fleshes out the details in a spellbinding piece on what Africa is facing from China.

Says Malone, "Reminiscent of the West's imperial push in the 18th and 19th centuries - but on a much more dramatic, determined scale - China's rulers believe Africa can become a 'satellite' state, solving its own problems of over-population and shortage of natural resources at a stroke.  With little fanfare, a staggering 750,000 Chinese have settled in Africa over the past decade.  More are on the way."

Clearly a grave development that must be faced head-on by the United States and the world, not to mention a further human rights debacle to add to China's already sordid record.
