"Sorry kids, but people are stupid."
Hey! Dont forget racist, dishonest, and selfish.

How do i explain this to my kids and grand kids. What a mess

This was China's plan for world domination.
It's crazy that a Russian asset US president can convince America's #1 ally of all time to support a dictatorship.

Surely the world will be a better place if we take the US' boot off the neck of the human race and place a Chinese boot there!

I don't think China has any interest in putting a boot on the neck of the world.

The boots are both made in China anyway. Might as well cut out the middle man!

Never said military actions. China has been trying to establish economic hegemony in Africa for a while via giant loans for infrastructure projects that the nations in question could never possibly repay. Of course, the terms of the loan establish that if the nation defaults, China immediately gains control over all assets built with the money.

Explain it in Chinese, so they're prepared for the future

Economic coercion requires the threat of military force. When I hear the phrase "boot on the neck" I'm imagining a soldier's boot.

Yeah that is terrible. It does seem like a common occurrence though when it comes to industrial mining, no matter who runs the operation.
