Re: Sabotage can come from either side
we just re-colonise Africa
Sorry, too late there. China has already moved into several African nations, providing new roads, schools, hospitals at no cost to the local government except a proviso that, when their new infrastructure has been improved to the point where they can exploit their mineral resources, they remember who built that infrastructure for them.
You know, the sort of thing we could have been doing a century ago if we'd been more interested in long term opportunity than we were in short term profit.
