I think they are …
I think they are impatient and want a lot of development fast. This is why they get help from China.

Well…..It’s about …
Well…..It’s about time that Angola starts the reconstruction of their country. Also, I think it’s awesome that the Chinese are going to be hiring local Angolans and give them jobs. However, Wow!!! China is so wealthy and just seems to have their hands in everybody’s oil pot. I won’t be surprised if you start seeing angolans having asian looking features in the future.

Angola has plenty …
Angola has plenty of money to build infrastructure. It has over 100 billion dollars economy.
IF you put some of that money in a trust fund and pay of infrastructure projects by interest, you can do it yourself.. ..

August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
I wonder why Angola …
I wonder why Angola can’t develop it’s infrastructure itself? So much for oil money. Why must it hire foreign workers?

the hypocrisy of …
the hypocrisy of this world is that some people can only appear when theres fighting because they like to over show their presence in humanitarian reasons. Angolas been in war for quite some time & fine enough the 5 permanent UN countries at least 4 where supplying arsenal for Angola destruction,
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
I personally do not …
I personally do not share the political view of Communism, but its at least done something better than Democracies, Chinas investing in Angola, by bilateral decision, Angolas not being forced to sign any contract,

Farken Angola …
Farken Angola government.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
New homes my – …
New homes my – they arent building new homes for the “people”. I have seen Angola – these buildings are to accommodate those ociated with the oil industry NOT for the Angolan populace. Angolans live under a dictatorship – those workers have probably never met an everyday Angolan. That is one ty ill-informed piece of crap journalism.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
so in other words …
so in other words you advice me be careless and not give a about the injustices people go through? i dont claim to know everything but thats strange that you sit there and be so careless about injustice and opression.
dont you ever ask yourself, “what if this happned to me or my family, how would i possibly cope and how would i feel”?
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
as for the ” …
as for the “bullshit” you speak of its your own. and using such filthy language only unveils the true fool in you. stick to the argument and get past the childish insults.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
only two cases? …
only two cases? give me a break there are more then a thausand reports and they are just the evictees we havent even started on the subject of the people china has locked up in mental insitutions for thier outspoken charector and thier condemnation of this regime. we havent even scratched the surface of the several hundred of cases where women have been given forced abortions and the issue of “ghost children” in china. so dont act dumb there’s more then a barrel of cases against you.

“imbarres” myself? …
“imbarres” myself?
Thank you for answering my trick question. There is no way for you to know every injustice in the UK. That is the whole freaking point. Now you proved that you are full of . Thanks.
So the resettlement is about Olympics? Do you know many of these “evictees” personally? Would you believe me if I told you that the evictees were all given apartments in high-rise buildings? Or will it be more convenient for you to believe that there are 1 million homeless people?
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
first of all …
first of all nothing is smoked on my side of the fence so get that right. the jokes on you so dont imbarres your self.
secondly im not like you so yes i do sympathize with every injustice in the UK.
thirdly the chinese government knows very little mercy or non at all as it has demonstrated throughout the olympics and even before. do you actully thinkthey had a choice but resettle them? if that was the case and this idiotic government is so pleasent why not resettle the olympic evictees?
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
You are a fool and …
You are a fool and I am not. That is the point.
Here, another piece of free education. “dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state”. It has nothing to do with how many parties you have to choose from.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
Wow, that must be …
Wow, that must be some powerful stuff you are smoking. Such delusion.
So far you have been all over the map and yet proved nothing. You gave 2 example of actives in prison as proof of “brutal control”. You keep arguing that China is dictatorship when it is not. You keep arguing that one can’t sympathize other people unless he sympathize his own people. Have I left any of your bullshit out?
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
Now we are moving …
Now we are moving on to freedom, are we? If my history is correct, slavery ended 2000 years ago in China. How about UK and US?
You want to talk about resettlement, let’s talk about resettlement. The Chinese government is resettling over 1 million people along the Yangzi river. How many were left homeless? They even moved people to big cities and tried to find them jobs. Did some fall through the crack? Of course. Did all of them want to move? Of course not.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
I don’t know what …
I don’t know what you are smoking there so I don’t know what will make you stop laughing. May be you should kick yourself in the to get it started.
Back to logic. You believe that IF one does not sympathize with ALL the “injustice” in one’s own country, then one CAN’T sympathize with any “injustice” elsewhere, correct? So do you sympathize will ALL the “injustice” in your own country?
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
im the idiot …
im the idiot whilest you dont even know what you’re talking about?, you’re the most stubborn chinese person i’ve seen. if you have a one party government how on earth can there ever be such a thing as competition and free election? its like saying you have the choice of eating this orange carrot and this other orange carrot, which do you choose?
if im a fool i wonder what that makes you.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
further more dont …
further more dont tell me to get anything straight. so fare you’re at the dwindling end of this argument
and you have hardly proved a single point.
