A values-free colonialism is at hand:
Chinese troops have been seen on the streets of Zimbabwe’s third largest city, Mutare, according to local witnesses. They were seen patrolling with Zimbabwean soldiers before and during Tuesday’s ill-fated general strike called by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
Earlier, 10 Chinese soldiers armed with pistols checked in at the city’s Holiday Inn along with 70 Zimbabwean troops.
London’s Independent warns about the “new colonial masters“:
As for Mr Mugabe, he marked Zimbabwean Independence Day yesterday by complaining of neo-colonialism and how Britain wants to retake control of Zimbabwe. He and other African leaders should think more carefully. There is a danger of their countries becoming a victim of a re-colonisation. But the threat is not from the West. It comes from the East.
This is no doubt a shocking development. China’s political development has been as stunted as its economic growth has been spectacular. However the greatest fear in the West is not that China is now acting imperial in the worst sense of the word. The real fear is that China will replace the West as the preeminent source of violent control of the planet.
None of this, of course, excuses China’s support for Mugabe. It must be condemned in the strongest terms possible.
Shit ‘A’, China sends arms to support Mugabe and hijack the democratic process. F me dead.
So, what the F#@*& we doing in Iraq.”violent control of the Planet”, give me a break we are part of the US exercising the most “violent attempted control of the planet”.
It is time for the people to take over the world and exorcise the commercial greedy warmongers and their lying deceitful whore press.

So we have all those idiots at a talk fest in Canberra not even thinking of the basics. Grow up Rudd, do not follow ‘neconsaladbowl’ Howard and his “yes Minister” failed cabinet.
