China has two major projects to dam up the white nile and the blue nile upstream from Egypt and Sudan (who curreently use 90% of the Nile water) Ethiopia, and Kenya will take control of the Nile and the two countries that currently consume 90% of the Nile water will be starved into submission by their Chinese landlords through taxes and fees over water. China needs a port for their Navy so they can 'protect' their 'investment'. There are many Chinese projects ongoing in Africa and there are whole towns that look like they were imported from China.The concept of 'lebensraum' and the hunger for growth among the powerful continues to disrespect geographical boundaries that gave rise to the magnificent diversity on this planet. The only loss that I mourn is the set of unique cultures and heritage of the many people inn Africa. The great homogenizer (capitalism, growth,etc) will obliterate the diversity on that continent. OTOH, maybe the hybrid vigor of Afro-Chinese offspring will give rise to a new more robust strain of humanity.
> disrespect geographical boundaries that gave rise to the magnificent diversity on this planet.
You mean boundaries set by colonialism?
> The only loss that I mourn is the set of unique cultures and heritage of the many people inn Africa.
Again, what about the ones destroyed by decades of European colonialism? Many African countries speak French and English, ever morned the loss of their old tongues?
