        They must parrot it constantly on fear of losing party member privileges. They don't care what's in your head, only what you say and do.

        Replying to @thespandrell

        China isn’t retarded. They’re gaining influence rapidly through shit like this. They have the capital that even investing in 65 IQ Africans is worth it, because the future payoff will be beyond worth it. This isn’t something to joke about: this should scare you.

        Nah. I wish they were gaining influence. They're not, they're wasting money for the stupidest reason.

        Where’s the best place to read about whether or not China will become the main world superpower? Or at least rival the us?

        Xi believes that the audience for his remarks is retarded. He's probably right.

        Especially if the remarks are about Chinese colonization in Africa.

        What's the likelihood that all this investment brings an image of China as a "1st world" nation in the mind share of young Africans, and induce more of them to migrate towards China 5-10 yrs from now?
