so what happened to china in the 1950s stats?
The disaster of Chairman Mao and the “Great Leap Forward” brought China to it’s knees.
this is suspect
Take it up with “the Economist” magazine.
I’m sure you’re more informed than they are.
Well, it couldn’t have had a rebirth unless it first died.
China was first killed by the Opium Wars instigated by “Great” Britain.
Basically, the UK went to war with China because the latter banned opium which was one of Britain’s biggest exports (via their colony India)
Yeah the Opium wars and Communism really fucked up China. These Uncle Sam loving stooges should know China had the largest economy for most of known history it just lacked the imperialism of Europe which meant it didn’t seek colonies and vassals around the world. If Chinese culture was contaminated by European imperialism tungekuwa tunaongea ki- chinese more than 100 years before USA independence from Britain.
Yeap that’s right.
Zheng He (1371–1435) was a Chinese explorer who commanded expeditionary voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, Western Asia, and East Africa from 1405 to 1433.
Yet they didn’t colonize or enslave those people that they encountered.
Infact, the descendants of these early Chinese explorers are still in Lamu County to this present day.
And they gave us the word uji (from conjee)while at it.
Wow! I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.
Absolutely fascinating.
If you were to believe the racist Caucasians, you’d think that they were the most civilised people on earth. Until you realise that 90 per cent of all serial killers are White, and Whites have been responsible for the decimation of other races around the world. The Chinese came to Kenya 2,000 years ago, traded and left. They did not rape, pillage or colonise.
Today, Western media and their local acolytes are trying to paint the Chinese as some sort of rapacious looters who want to enslave Africans. But just count the number of infrastructural developments the Chinese have funded and ask, what did our 200-year engagement with the White devils achieve? NOTHING except genocide (Hereros, Kikuyus, Nandis, Kisii, Giriama, Maasai etc etc etc) and enslavement (eg, thousands of African soldiers died fighting in both world wars for what?)
Small cultural differences and misunderstandings are taken and exaggerated about the Chinese’s disdain for Africans, but the truth is if you have the money you can fly to Beijing tomorrow. Try flying to London and see how long its gonna take to process your visa, if at all.
Also, the African must man up and shape up. The tens of Chinese I have personally spoken to always say one thing; “African very good people, but steal big and very lazy. That only problem”.
:D:D:D:D true, we are dishonest, corrupt, thievery seems to be in our DNA and out work ethic is nothing to be proud of.
I had honestly thought you were that Matt media guy who passed recently.
See how you have conditioned me to overate you.
Anyway glad to see you are still depleting much needed oxygen.
Have I been overating you? Even you do not know that there’s an oxygen cycle and as such the crucial gas is infinite?
