    West shrugs shoulders

    We told you it was a bad deal, don’t come crying to us or trying to blame us when it turns out it’s a bad deal later on.

    You made your own bed this time, this has nothing to do with colonialism of 100 years ago, if it blows up in your face it’s not on the west.

    After several hundred years of Western investment which only creates slums and brothels, props up violent dictators and which leaves behind a big hole in the ground where the countries resources have been stripped, I would suggest that investment that builds railways, ports and other infrastructure, creates jobs and new markets, is like a breath of fresh air .

      Remind me: How old is China? No poor people in Tibet or Yunnan? Burma is doing wonderfully too, I hear.
