They attend all international conferences, monitor every business opportunity and then go home and act wisely - they set internal regulations to suit their development stage.
And what does the Giant of Africa do? It waits. It sits and waits for someone with money to come and do her work for her. Yes, once China gives us money, everything will be alright. Should we try to imitate these countries that have developed enough to now lend us aid? No. We should sit and wait and hand over the keys to our homes to them. Because they have money.
Roll in, China.
I recall the book THINK AND GROW RICH
