  • More than most would think. Everytime i see statements like this im reminded of a yellowstone ranger once on trash can lids: “theres a significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans”. Then considering the rates of literacy and inability for people to find and discern information sources. I think people will be far more dissappointed in the reality of the situation.
















  • It does if youre literate. Thats a tall ask on here though.

    China gains as much as $13 in trade revenues for every $1 invested in ports. A firm holding an operating lease or concession agreement reaps not only the financial benefits of all trade passing through that port but can also control access

    Chinese firms hold operating concessions in 10 African ports. Despite the risks over loss of control, the trend on the continent is toward privatizing

    Ports in which Chinese firms have equity arrangements provide similar leverage over port operations. Notably, under China’s technical standards for “military civil fusion” (junmin ronghe; 军民融合), many Chinese state owned commercial shipping and civilian air cargo capabilities meet military specifications for defense logistics purposes.
