the Chinese government is and even how Chinese citizens view government.

So it is a 180 out governance view.

And they do black bag diplomacy really well.

When you're a...

head of state, foreign minister, mining minister, energy minister, whatever China where they want to get their hooks in.

On your trip to Beijing, they take you to the Chinese foreign ministry, take you to the basement.

And there's a long series of safe deposit boxes, one of them with your name on it, filled with gold, diamonds, cash, whatever.

And they say, this is yours for when you retire, as long as you play ball with us.

Wow.

In Africa...

China has made themselves exceedingly unpopular with the vast majority of people.

The few government officials that are getting paid off, great.

But all the big Chinese infrastructure, the mines, the energy, the roads, the bridges, when China goes and does that,

they provide capital, they provide a loan, and they charge about three times what market rate should be, because they're the only lender.

And they take everything with them from China to do that.

Every worker, the noodle maker, the barber, everything to a little Chinese enclave.

In a lot of cases, they're even exporting Chinese convict labor.

So you got 10 to 20 years of hard labor on your sentence in China.

They send you to do an infrastructure project in Angola.

And when you've completed that job, you're free to stay.
