The forward deployment of China and Her Military Forces has a specific long range purpose for the future to spread their influence and control to global levels. The island bases already in use are there to accomplish that same widespread goal. Make No mistake about the threat China is becoming to spread that global control.

The problem is sadly two sided. China is offering help/assistance/money.

We are not.

End of discussion. Want the dynamic changed? Send/spend more money. Africans poor in the street don’t care about politics. It’s only aid that’s important.

China sees in Africa what the West has failed to for decades. A vast source of resources, both human and natural, which they can control through well thought out and placed aid. Since China thinks in terms of decades or even centuries, not a 5 year plan, the general is most likely right.

Isn't it rather perplexing why the anti-colonialists don't call out china's global colonialization push. Why was it bad for the US or Europe, but somehow china is immune from their ire.
