The real winner of the war on civilization: China

I have a blog that posts news stories on Zimbabwe.

One of the quiet stories there is that, although the US and UK are sending aid, they also have sanctions on business investment...paper sanctions, of course, since multinationals would move thru South Africa, but even SA is getting their investments stolen or confiscated in that economy.

Now, last year, Mugabe destroyed a lot of "illegal businesses" in his "operation Cleanup". Now, this was aimed at destroying his opponants in those areas, and ended up destroying a convent in KweKwe and an HIV clinic in Harare that were run by my friends...but much of the cleanup was of people running small shops without full papers... selling veggies they grew, or fixing and reselling used objects like clothing.

The rumor was that by destroying the reselling of good quality "used" goods, his actions would please the Chinese who sell poor quality new goods.

The Chinese' action in Zimbabwe propping up their government could allow them to get a stranglehold on Chrome mining..and the Chinese actions in Dafur are to allow them to get oil. (the next oil well rush will be Africa...remember this next time you invest).

So if the west destroyes itself and Islamofascism takes over the middle East, look to China to rule. After all, someone will have to manufacture and sell stuff...
