TJ, what do you know about Africa? Cape Town is not Africa!!

At least I do know about Ethiopia and Nigeria and some about Morocco, as I did deal with officials there except Morocco which has a substantial community of Jews from there.

As to my experience without bribes nothing moves in those African countries and presumably other countries. Obviously China paid heavy bribes to the decision makers there and received rights that where kept secret mostly mines and other natural resources of critical use in new and modern components.

This I know intimately related to Ethiopia where I had some negotiation at consular and government level.

Same in the former USSR (Ukraine Kazakhstan included) I can send you personally via WhatsApp the prof related to Ukraine, Azerbaijan is on Slideshare as are other proposals.

Meet Ministers and dined with them and my blood froze when realizing that the projects where actually a way of money laundering in most cases.

The difference is in the pudding - I obey US laws (Israelis are also corrupt up to their teeth) and this is how I was able to negotiate projects worth $ hundred of millions at the time when living in NYC and was received by high ranking officials at DOE, Dept. of State, OPIC Exim etc., All was open on the table covering all wrinkles therefore I was highly respected by major NYC accounting and law firms - or what is called - "white shoe" law firms

My clients where the Gov. candidate of New Jersey, Jupiter Industries of Chicago a multi billion company with which we attempted to take over a known financial news agency (AP) and compete with Bloomberg, with CitiBank, with Carl Icahn Enterprises a poor guy worth around $10 billion or so, had direct exchange of letters with Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev or Ukraine head of industrial Association and Donetsk Governor (thank God nothing came out of it), Ministers in Romanian and Bulgaria Governments for JV across the Danube.
(all can be proved in letters/writings)

So please give me a brake with the low lives running CCP and unfortunate there are so many.

The sad part is that you learned nothing from the Red Revolution, and I know exactly what your mother wrote when your grandmother visited you from Shanghai.
