30,000 Chinese miners in the middle of a particular African territory ostensibly looking for gold? For over 10 years?
Let me suggest that they are not looking but had found gold.
As to whether the Chinese are doing any good in Africa, only time shall tell. So far as we know non-Chinese / non-Africans had certainly left Africa in a mess, and arguably Africans had done little for Africa. Although indubitably all three groups had done some good for me and mine, and I count blessings each day so that I can count again the next day.
Let us watch and brief.
In the mean time by the cited story we might conclude that China is exporting goods, people, capital, and ideas, and importing gold, to either counter inflation, or provide backstop to deflation, or whatever elmat chooses as truth, something about China returning to natural size or whatever else jetson figures, that China is collapsing.
If Elmat and Jetson are correct we do not need to pay attention to China, as we do not need to ruminate over Greece, all to be smaller and of no substantive effect however it all goes.
