Chas, it's not "exploited" to be employed. I was "exploited" by Texaco [in Canada] and BP [in various countries] and the governments that bossed them, but it was my best option at the time and I was glad of having been "exploited".

ElM is being exploited now. He has been moved from Brazil to Angola and exploited by Ping to dig trenches in the ground to install optical fibre so that Made in China companies can provide cyberspace. Ping, Huawei, ElM are being exploited by me and Africans are being exploited by me too, so that I can sell them mobile Cyberspace via Qualcomm.

"Exploited" is Marxist thinking.

I prefer capitalist thinking and Virtuous Victorian Values. Learn, Work, Save, Invest - with all the other virtues too.

Africans do well out of such exploitation. It's fashionable now to denigrate The British Empire, but it brought much of the good life to more people in more places than would otherwise have been possible. China won't copy the British Empire because they won't let the locals become equals. China lacks the ethical foundations of equality, common law, habeas corpus and those olde Englische values which members of the British Empire more or less enjoyed [in theory though the practise was lacking at times].
