President of Namibia Hage Geingob speaking with the German ambassador to Namibia, Herbert Beck
“Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time the West visits we get a lecture.”
Lol he doesnt even talk about Chinese investments or anything
He straight up goes “theres too many Chinese in this country”
A while back there were reports that SOME - not even a trend, but literally some individuals - Chinese people working on BRI projects in Africa decided to permanently move there and have families with African people. Redditors were seething and hand wringing about race mixing and how Chinese people hate black people. All because like 3 random guys married African women
I read a Nigerian’s opinion on these Chinese infrastructure projects in Africa and he says the way he measures the future growth of an African city is by how many blasian babies he sees 💀
we’re going to hear the most insane “race science” about mixed Chinese and African people in the future, aren’t we?
Honestly I almost wish the president had just asked his initial question and then waited for the ambassador’s answer. The ambassador seemed completely unprepared for that response, I feel like he would have exposed himself if put on the spot. But I’m all for the bullying, too.
When the euros send their ambassadors, they aren’t sending their best. Everyone reading this is already aware, but: these people are not hired for their brains. They’re hired for their ability to jump when the bourgeoisie says: “jump!” The German ambassador would not be able to think up a good answer to these questions (not only because he’s a dingdong, but because a good answer doesn’t exist).
Weird how the colonised peoples of Africa aren’t invested in maintaining the white supremacist world order.
