@AssassinsMace Sir they should watch the Movie Gravity, the Pull of China BRI and the lure of Eurasia with Russia and the former Soviet Republic is to large to ignore, Plus the inclusion of Iran. They compliment each other with resource rich country with the largest trading nation. It exclude the EU and the US and compare with Africa, they lost a ready rich market and they don't have the patience to wait for Africa to develop. So their only recourse to sell their expensive product is China and they had the audacity to make an enemy out of her, it's outrageous....lolAnd it'll just cost them more money. They're trying to get Africa to follow their standards...? The West didn't bother with these "sh*ithole" nations until China started investing. They're already alarmed by China's Belt and Road. Why? Because they saw these countries as strategically worthless and ignored them all this time until China started giving attention. The only way they can get African countries to follow their standards is to spend a lot of money developing these countries with their technology. If they don't, it's basically up for grabs and a race of whose technology gets there first. The only other way is to point a gun at Africans' heads and force them. If they could do all that right now, they wouldn't be all worried over China, would they?
