Im fine with the objections to CHina. What i laugh at is when small countries in Africa and the Caribbean were dealing and getting screwed by American and Canadian companies you guys didnt seem to have a problem with it. But since "Chinese phobia" and "Russian Phobia" is whats hot in the Media the last decade or two all the sudden many of you have issues.China again huh. They bought Africa now this?
NOTE: When i say "you" i dont mean you specifically, @Merc I'm talking typical Coli "conscious" "militant" types
Thing is you're not concerned about these small countries being lured into these bad deals. You're more concerned about CHINA getting the deals. As if Americans would have done any better. But wait.. we know they wouldnt have since that's what got these countries more open to dealing with China in the first place.
Remember when Obama went to Jamaica this past year. It wasnt for Vacation. The Caribbean Nation Summit was taking place and he knew Chinese companies were bidding for projects. Since they had won so many in the Caribbean and Central America recently and putting many of the AMerican companies out of business in the region POTUS felt the need to renew relations with Caribbean nations they have robbed all these previous decades.
The Chinese have every right to go after deals they can get.
