China to ZANU-PF: ‘Let them Eat Tiannamen Chop Suey?’: ‘Working for Chinese is 'hell on earth'’

“How does one say ‘Lebensraum’ in Chinese?”

What are we and they to understand as the connection between population and security? Population is a central element in nearly any concept of national security.

And in many regions the potential for conflict arising from simple overpopulation and starvation is large and growing. There is, of course, nothing simple about these problems; those who feel inclined to dismiss the seriousness of this potential should consider the question: "How does one say `Lebensraum' in Chinese?"

It should also be clear that solutions to the pressures created by population growth and movement, pressures that threaten the security of so many states, are beyond the means of any single state. Migration today can be controlled only by international agreement.

Jason Moyo says Africans in Zimbabwe, including many in ZANU-PF are getting upset with how the Chinese are treating them: “Working for Chinese is 'hell on earth'”. China is building a massive new military college (wherefrom to direct its Southern Africa Colonial African Resource War) on the outskirts of Harare, which is described as “a monument to China's tightening hold on Zimbabwe.” It is also “a symbol of growing hostility from Zimbabwe's labour force towards Chinese employers. It is being built using a controversial Chinese loan and its workers have gone on strike to protest against beatings by their bosses and low pay.”

In the second article Paul Trewhala gives an interesting perspective to China's historical role in the ANC and current events. I particularly don't agree with his conclusion where he gives the ANC only two options to choose from. In my view there are far more than two options. However his his choice to narrow the ANC's options down to two, gave me the impression of a kind of 'good cop, bad cop' routine, pretending to project two opposing points of view, but in essence both cops have exactly the same goal.

I also don't think his observation and historical analysis of the ANC's motives are impartial or accurate reality, more like wishful thinking; but irrespective.

I read once that one of the most fundamental contributions the British Empire made to its colonies was the Jury system of law; imagine if the upcoming Chinese Empire colonialists would educate Africans to adopt a one-child only procreation policy? Now that would be one cultural revolution!
