After several hundred years of Western investment which only creates slums and brothels, props up violent dictators and which leaves behind a big hole in the ground where the countries resources have been stripped, I would suggest that investment that builds railways, ports and other infrastructure, creates jobs and new markets, is like a breath of fresh air .
Because there are no slums or brothels in China, big holes in the ground, and they have never propped up violent dictators.
Surely this leopard won’t eat my face.

Remind me: How old is China? No poor people in Tibet or Yunnan? Burma is doing wonderfully too, I hear.
Maybe. But there’s no such thing as a free lunch. It all comes with strings attached.
