Just because the West priced themselves out of the market does not mean China is a risk. China is a risk for people who do not work hard. For environmentalistst. for people with Maurician prejudices. For more NIMBY? Big risk!

What is the cycle time between the news stories "China will crash" and "China will save and/or take over the world economy" ? Are the stories moving as fast as the ups and downs on the Shanghai exchange ? Bloomberg just reported that Japan is showing GDP growth, led by a 6.4 % increase in exports to China. Maybe their are some China based pair trades - short or get puts on some inflated stuff, go long real value. For the US short housing stocks / long energy worked very well for a number of years.

Elmat on the ground demolishes article of bleeding heart intellectual. Chinese oil companies employ fewer than 15 percent Angolan labor and usually at the end of the pay scale. Explanation: Angolano man can´t follow the pace of Chinese company. It is the same as if putting a chicken on a horse race against a horse. The crux is rotation: one month in, two weeks out. Contracts similar to airline pilots where the guy work one day and scratches his balls for two days. Chinese is one year in, one month out, if job permit, else only on leave when work allows. As it should be. For instance in 2006 at a Portuguese run construction site in Maputo, Mozambique, there were only five Portuguese out of 120 workers. While nearby, a Chinese run site had 78 Chinese workers and only eight locals, three of which were night watchmen. Explanation: Portuguese are vagabundo. Do not even bother getting working visa to go to Portugal once a month. Again rotataion: one month in, two weeks out. Those pussies can´t follow the pace of Chinese company pace. They are all the time trying to denigrate the Chinese because they lost 4 football stadium for the African Cup. The influx of thousands of Chinese migrants into Africa is becoming a major source of grievance for the local population. Explanation: Not true! The Angolano says: “give this for a foreigner and see how long it will take them to get the job done.” And it is a factor of creating in the nigger the idea that working hard is normal. In Angola, Chinese street sellers are fast putting out of business thousands of locals and Malian sellers who have been there for generations. Explanation: Not true either! Lots of Angolans sell Chinese made goods on the streets. Will make photos to show the thread. The fact that many Chinese tend to live in isolation with little or no contact with the local population further aggravates the resentment already present. Explanation: All foreigtners live in isolation. Chinese promote drivers to supervision positions here. If they see value, they use the people, if they see useless people they don’t use them.
