China Buying Ports Across Europe and Mediterranean

in #informationwar6 years ago

It's not just Africa being recolonized by China. Examples in Europe: Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt "Why is the Mediterranean so important and what are the possible implications of these acquisitions by China? First, roughly three-fifths of Chinese exports travel by sea, and the Mediterranean route to Europe is the most direct. This level of traffic is unlikely to be challenged any time soon by overland routes. A train from Shanghai to Antwerp, for example, takes sixteen to twenty days to cross Eurasia and might bring with it forty of those familiar "twenty-foot equivalent" (TEU) containers. When the COSCO-owned Taurus docked in Greece in February, it brought with it the capacity to deliver twenty thousand such containers. While the sea journey takes longer, it is much more cost-effective than the alternatives."

Didn't you read Barrack Obama's books?

The Left Wing is against colonization. The radical left even gets angry mobs to jump up and down in protests against anything that hints of colonization.

It is not possible that Left-Wing governments are engaged in colonization because that would make the radical-left one stinking large stack of hypocrites.
