Putin Wants To Win Badly

[Irish_Dem]

53. China has Africa in a huge debt trap.

And has had Chinese troops stationed there as well.

These countries do what China wants them to do.
These are not "good" relationships. This is colonization by coercion.

China goes in and loans to poor African countries billions of dollars.
Then sends in Chinese construction companies to build infrastructure with those loans.
So the Chinese economy benefits. And Chinese companies go in and extract resources.

The Chinese military has been stationed in Africa for decades.

China could also do a soft invasion of Taiwan like they and Putin have done in the US.
Capture half the sitting government and population, use those puppets to install
fascist rule. Not one shot fired or one bomb dropped.

Any one with any brains already does not trust China as far as they can throw them.
