Trump being Trump cuts back aid to SA
We can only guess why
China has a different plan
China is willing to bring investment money into Mexico where the SA people can find jobs
This will benefit both Mexico economy and Chinese reach into NA
Trump treats the SA people like dirt, cuts back aid and brings in the military
China offers friendship money and jobs to SA and Mexico's economy
The people will obviously look no further than food on the table and shelter
Who will the people include in their thoughts as the good guy and give thanks to [after their religious affiliation] as they gather around the table with food on it and a roof over their head
Looks like Trump wants to use the hammer of americian power and paper [SWIFT] [sanctions] and the new Trump tariffs
Not exactly Trumps fault. Americians have used this same or similar model [tariffs excluded] for a long time, to pound people into submission, if it works or not, americiians keep trying the same model Syria, afganastan, Iraq, Venezuala, Canada, Mexico and others I forget
China has a plan that helps the people
China is doing the same thing all over the world if the people are poor, have either cheap labour or resources to develop
If the people are traders with goods and resources, then China is developing the silk road
Americians use a different model for success
An interesting viewpoint of essentially the same end game, with trade as the main center piece of both models
At least that is what it looks like to me
You may disagree, which is good for discussion
