While this is a pretty good move (I mean, it's not like France had the choice at this time) it also means that other governments can take a position there instead. There is a huge issue with Wagner being accused of killing and raping people and China is literally buying everything. Rejecting strongly the current french military will probably create a weird situation for them...
And what's wrong with other nations taking position there that aren't western? Sad you can no longer exclusively exploit African resources? Chinese relations with the global South is infinitely better than American/Britiish/french relations. I absolutely welcome china but not so much about Russia
"lack of remorse or ethics" = paying African nations more than all western corpos combined for the same resources?
Yeah I'm sure you've got the books lying in front of you right now and not just relying on some vague propaganda from the usual sources wink
Ah yes, it must be... Russian propaganda that China uses business deals instead of raping, enslaving, and colonizing like the West did... And you're claiming this under a story where the oppressed populations just keep telling the former colonizers to get the fuck out or die; not a story of them kicking out China.
Generally I found more sensible people on Lemmy but I guess not everyone is that logical here 🤷
Well I hoped you could back up your claim that the Chinese are paying more for African resources "than all western corpos combined" but I guess you primarily want to type some 'strong man' language instead lol
