You're on drugs.

You're calling anything that doesn't fit your agenda "hate speech". Sorry - "propaganda." Quite reminiscent of leftists. Just label and dismiss whatever does not fit the narrative - and the kneejerk label never varies.

There are facts. One is that China is giving the nig SOCIETIES goodies - not the nig PSYCHOPATHS, as the western powers always do. What this does - and I will speak as if to an absolute novice - is enfranchise the regular citizens in such a manner that going back to **** throwing will be unacceptable. The thing that psychopaths absolutely need in order to stay in power is acquiescence. They are always outnumbered and outgunned/outknived/outsworded.

China is giving fair dinkum - and it will take more than a generation for these nations to get to a point where what the chinee and the russians are providing is not desperately needed and keenly felt by the people. This creates upward momentum, esprit de corpse, social cohesion - a general zeitgeist of optimism. A happy people does not care about democracy. Nor should they - what has "democracy" done for africans? What they care about is upward social momentum.

They care very much about improved infrastructure, as this is the beginning of what a functoning state should provide. Good roads lets them sell their goods to willing buyers in an easily accessed market place which they needn't risk life and limb in a multi-day journey to reach. Reliable and universal electrical power is another major agenda item for these starter countries. After that, clean, plumbed water and sewerage and such. There's a long road ahead which will very likely be happily travelled between these cultures leveraging each others' interests - and that COULD have been us, if not for the same sense of entitlement that you display with your breezy dismissals of evidence.

Your level one, weak sauce generalizations and dismissals of evidence as "propaganda" are reminiscent of your whim-based position on the Karen Read trial. Ignorance inspires neither study nor quietude in you, son. You are perfectly comfortable yapping in a space of extremely low information, and when alerted to this deficit, you blithely ignore it, changing neither your position nor your level of information. I call that entitlement, frankly.
