And that's just one story of the foreign influence China is exerting around the world.
They started about 30-35 years ago by going to Africa by bribing the local leaders with all kinds of gifts like building them palaces, opening Swiss Banks accounts for them with a hefty sum of money, free trips to all over the world and in exchange got fabulous contracts for exploring mines, oil fields, agricultural projects, construction of railways, dams, schools, roads, buildings and other infrastructure.
The Chinese would then send thousands of engineers and construction workers to Africa to build these projects. The vast majority of materials like steel, bricks, cement, electrical wiring and fixtures etc. all came from China.
They even sent cooks, chefs and Chinese food from China to feed the enormous quantity of Chinese workers in these projects, who didn't appreciate any other food except theirs.
The local African population would complain that a very tiny % of jobs were reserved for them and those were always the worst, dirtiest and most dangerous.
When the local population complained to the local leaders (that had been bribed by the Chinese) they were told to keep quiet or else...
The Chinese were very smart to the point of suggesting to the leaders they had bribed, that they (Chinese) would build Soccer stadiums for the population for free, to keep the population happy. A small price to pay to try and keep a good part of the population and all their leaders happy.
Another thing is, that a lot of their infrastructure projects were done using shoddy materials, resulting in some buildings becoming uninhabitable because of the danger they represented, roads getting damaged soon after being constructed, because they used a very thin layer of tar, mines and oil field production not giving a sh*it about environmental pollution, etc. etc.
And that's just Africa. The Chinese are all over the world and their economic + political + military influence is growing all the time... much more than the Russians, that the MSM and Liberals are obsessing about.
But I'm sure the MSM will someday in the future will suddenly discover that China is actually the Elepha... I mean Dragon in the room and it's breathing a lot of fire.
