British Newspaper: China Is Making Slaves of Africans

This explosive story reports on how China is exploiting Africans with hard mining work for $3 a day while bribing the corrupt governments with loans and other perks.

The Daily Mail reports:

These poor, hopeless, angry people exist by grubbing for scraps of cobalt and copper ore in the filth and dust of abandoned copper mines in Congo, sinking perilous 80ft shafts by hand, washing their finds in cholera-infected streams full of human filth, then pushing enormous two-hundredweight loads uphill on ancient bicycles to the nearby town of Likasi where middlemen buy them to sell on, mainly to Chinese businessmen hungry for these vital metals.

...

Many perish as their primitive mines collapse on them, or are horribly injured without hope of medical treatment. Many are little more than children. On a good day they may earn $3, which just supports a meagre existence in diseased, malarial slums.

We had been earlier to this awful pit, which looked like a penal colony in an ancient slave empire.

Defeated, bowed figures toiled endlessly in dozens of hand-dug pits. Their faces, when visible, were blank and without hope.

...

I can give you no better explanation in miniature of the wicked thing that I believe is now happening in Africa.

Out of desperation, much of the continent is selling itself into a new era of corruption and virtual slavery as China seeks to buy up all the metals, minerals and oil she can lay her hands on: copper for electric and telephone cables, cobalt for mobile phones and jet engines - the basic raw materials of modern life.

It is crude rapacity, but to Africans and many of their leaders it is better than the alternative, which is slow starvation.


The Congolese risk their lives digging through mountains of mining waste looking for scraps of metal ore

It is my view - and not just because I was so nearly killed - that China's cynical new version of imperialism in Africa is a wicked enterprise.

China offers both rulers and the ruled in Africa the simple, squalid advantages of shameless exploitation.

For the governments, there are gargantuan loans, promises of new roads, railways, hospitals and schools - in return for giving Peking a free and tax-free run at Africa's rich resources of oil, minerals and metals.

Speaking of Chinese Communists: Chinese Elites Get Special Organic Food and Taint Free Milk

The corrupt Chinese communists not only poison their own children's milk and try to cover it up, they raise special organic foods and pure milk for the chosen elite of the Communist Party.

The AP and Raleigh News & Observer report:

"While China grapples with its latest tainted food crisis, the political elite are served the choicest, safest delicacies. They get hormone-free beef from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, organic tea from the foothills of Tibet and rice watered by melted mountain snow.

And it's all supplied by a special government outfit that provides all-organic goods from farms working under the strictest guidelines."

Well there goes my naive belief that communism was for the people. The next thing you know, they'll be making up news stories about their space launch.

China Releases Article Saying Spacewalk Trip Went Great, With Extended Astronaut Dialogue BEFORE LAUNCH

The Chinese - ever so honest about Olympic footage, Tibetian suppression, the milk scandal and more - accidentally released an article about their Shenzhou 7 mission (which will include a spacewalk) BEFORE THE SPACE CAPSULE WAS EVEN LAUNCHED. Dated 9/27/08, the article was released on 9/25 by the Chinese official news agency Xinhua on its web site. The article even had detailed dialogue between the astronauts, reports Yahoo News.

I say, why wait for the truth to develop, when you can make it up now.

China Plans First Spacewalk; Blogger Hopes They Get Tainted Chinese Milk

China is planning it's third space mission and it will contain a spacewalk by Chinese astronauts.

We here hope that they give the Chinese astronauts the tainted milk that has injured 53,000 Chinese kids.

By the way, somebody please tell China that spacewalks are so yesterday. I mean really, once you have hosted the Olympics, with 2008 synchronized drummers, while brutally suppressing Tibet nationalists and hiding reports of kid's deaths due to tainted milk, a walk in space is a little anticlimatic.

China: They Cheat Even If It Means Making 53,000 Kids Sick

The milk scandal in China makes me sick - no pun intended. Milk plant managers in China have watered milk down, but to pass nutrition tests (which tests for nitrogen level in milk to see if sufficient protein is in the milk), plant managers have laced the watered down milk with an industrial chemical that releases nitrogen in the milk. The chemical attacks children's kidneys and causes them to fail. 53,000 kids have been stricken in China.

Those sons of b@$&%@. I don't have anything else to say about it.
