Manure is infinitely more valuable than the AU. Not to mention its current president/chair.
African politics is almost child-like which makes Europe and any country worth its salt giggle with glee. The expression -"like taking candy from a baby" - is apt. Therefore what china is doing is nothing new or special. US and EU do the same thing with heads of state that dont agree with their policies suddenly have civil wars with farmer's sons and military coups or the famous yet tragic "accident"
Its tiring.
- MichaelZuo 6y agoAlthough every country does have factions that want to screw everyone else the moment they get the chance, thankfully every country also has people, often in substantial positions, with longer ranging foresight than that. Though of course the proportions varies with time, culture, level of development, norms, history, dogma, politics, etc., across the globe. In China’s case where there are thousands of people in positions of substantial authority due to its size, with hundreds joining those ranks every year, it is credible that a few would seek short term advantages over all other considerations. The variability of human nature all but guarantees it. Hopefully the proportion will decline in the future, at the very least the long term self interest of the other folks will be a countervailing force.
