Zim-Bob-we to become colony again
2005-07-27

Zimbabwean Tyrant President Robert Mugabe has signed a deal with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao in Beijing.
Very good, Bob. You have starved enough of your own people to get the CCP's Red Star of Approval.
The details have not been made public but China was expected to seek mineral and other trade concessions in exchange for economic help. Zimbabwe needs hard currency to repay loans or face expulsion from the IMF.
Look, I'm not really a whore. I just needed money badly.
Mr Mugabe has adopted a "Look East" policy, after being ostracised in the West over alleged human rights abuses.
Remember, they are only "alleged," unlike the Gulags the USA has set up.
Bob and the Chinese quickly came to an agreement on human rights.
China has promised to help Zimbabwe and to not interfere in "internal affairs".
We let the local satraps oppress the people all they want.
China "trusts Zimbabwe's government and people have the ability to deal properly with their own matters", a foreign ministry statement said.
We'll give them enough weapons to make sure.
China, one of the world's fastest growing economies, is already ranked as one of Zimbabwe's largest trading partners and has supplied buses, civilian and military aircraft to Mr Mugabe's government. In contrast, Zimbabwe is one of the world's fastest shrinking economies, with high unemployment, soaring inflation and shortages of food and fuel.

The ties between China and Mr Mugabe date back to the 1970s war of independence, when fighters from his Zanu party were armed by the Chinese.

#1  Saw the title and though it had to be Scrappleface. No, just another dictator selling off his people's assets after destroying their economy. ZimBob is yet another slow-motion train wreck. And the UN? Lol, send us the money, of course.

We should all be thankful that Muggy got pissed at the BBC - otherwise they wouldn't be reporting dick about this shithole and it's shithead.
