i dont know if "colonized" is appropriate here. the Kenyan government took out a loan which it cannot repay. not quite the same thing as a more powerful country moving in an seizing control by force.

This is probably something the West should be stopping because we're going to regret it in a decade when we're totally locked out of Africa koffing


Whos gonna stop it, trump? A UK too weak to even function within the UK, let alone outside of it? A France that may fall into facism (le pen) any time now?

The difference is the US could stop them whereas Kenya can't really do anything and no one will care enough to try.

Not even, the article is not saying China is going to bomb the shit out of Kenya and have troops occupy the port, just that they will have ownership over key assets because a loan wasn't paid.

i looked up the definition

the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically.

and yeah, you're right.

They aren't taking over the government, though. Just the companies and assets on the lands.

Anyway, are the gonna run the natives out of their country?

if china has religious and influence idea groups they can convert the culture at -30% diplo mana with a special policy

don't think they're going to. if i was china, i'd just go the humanism route for -2 unrest reduction.

expected.
they did the same thing in SE Asia, and now the territory is in their hands. expanding to Africa is a logical step.

When I was deployed to Djibouti, China was in the process of constructing a massive university right outside the capital city there. It's probably complete now, this was back in 2015.
