Lack of foreign assistance is bad, but foreign investments are also bad. Lack of foreign technology is bad, but foreign technology partnerships are also bad. Lack of water, electricity, and jobs is bad, but the Chinese govt providing infrastructure, water wells, and jobs is also bad. Do you not see how ridiculous your views are? Radicals like you will never be happy, all you're looking for are downsides and negatives, blaming external factors for internal issues. I find it interesting that you diminish African nations by discrediting their accountability.
I never said outside investments is bad. It's the motive behind said investment. Nearly every "investment" hasn't been made for the betterment or even mutuality beneficial. Just do some actual research on this. I don't have the time or energy to educate you the facts, so just stop. It's honestly embarrassing how indoctrinated you are in these laughable and out right racist talking points.
I think it's less of a problem of energy and more of a problem of lack of general knowledge and references. What's even funnier is you seem to be the only racist in this conversation. I've never made it out to be a racial issue, economical and cultural maybe, but you're insisting on it being a racial one. Watch out, you're a little too obsessed with white supremacy - I never even mentioned "white". You're embarrassing yourself with your empty childish words and projections.
