Cuba China Pushing ‘New International Order' Through Communism in Africa
2018-12-14
[Breitbart] WASHINGTON, DC ‐ China is using its economic clout in Africa to promote a "new international order" and encourage countries to adopt its communist ideology, experts told lawmakers on Wednesday.

While testifying before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, Judd Devermont, the director of the Africa program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) think-tank, acknowledged that not all Chinese activities in Africa are anti-ethical to U.S. goals, noting that "some are neutral or complementary to U.S. objectives and may actually benefit American interests."

Nevertheless, some of the witnesses noted that communist China is actively pursuing a new Beijing-led order on the continent.

#4  Yah, but all the old time African Commies were bankrolled by the Old Soviet Union. Of course, to them communism was just a sales brochure for getting developing countries trapped in the Soviet Mercantilist system. Now it'll be the brand name and brochures for the New Chinese Mercantilist System.

#2  They couldn't live with trying to tie the National Socialist Worker Party to the right, now they're trying to define any kleptocratic authoritarian/totalitarian regime as just communist. Under capitalism the rich become powerful, under socialism the powerful become rich.
