quick hisory lesson for BD,
Britain was a super power, went to america, generaly pissed the americans off (tea party anyone?), fell out, had war
ammerica was/is a superpower, exploited/invested in china, relations tend to be a little frosty ocasionaly.
China is now treating africa like we treated america and america treated china, so finaly we have a chance to be the good guys! Although with the ammount of money it's investing, in Africa its pretty much a case of what China says, goes, right now.
India is the exception, we get along with them very well diplomaticaly and comericaly despite shafting them sideways, seven ways till sunday in the past!
