The Chinese Are Coming, BBC 2, 00:10-01:10

1/2. Justin Rowlatt investigates what the world will be like if China overtakes America as the world's economic superpower. He looks at the phenomenon of Chinese migration to Africa.

Thats my T.V viewing planned.

The first thing you do is hold onto your dogs because they eat them. Had quite a few problems with that.

I watched it, found it interesting. Ive been watching for a few years now the creep of china into africa, while the west ignores it and focus's on central asia / middle east.

We may wake up to find the entire african continent entirely loyal to china, with chinese companies strip mining the place for resources, building up infrastructure and then selling a shit ton of their own products back to the africans.

I think you missed the point, it was the Chinese that provided all the weapons and ammunition to the liberation struggles there so as to out flank the west and now they are just collecting on their investment.

Of course the continent is loyal to China and Russia, you were so busy selling your own kith and kin down the tubes you handed the place over to them on a silver platter and thanked them for taking it to.

You obviously didnt watch the program because MY POINT IS EXACTLY BASED on what it says. How does what you said refute what I said in any way?

Did I not say, China will have the African continent. You say "I miss the point" then go on to PROVE my fucking point. The means by which they achieve the goal is not what I was discussing.

Learn to read next time Traveller before you jump in feet first trying to look smart.
