The Other Hitchens: Chinas Slave Empire

Peter Hitchens, author of the highly recommended "The Abolition of Britan" and brother of Christopher Hitchens writes a horrifying post where in it, he is nearly killed by a Communist Chinese directed mob in Africa.

Why?

Snip:

"After the murderous disaster of Mao, and the long chaos that went before, China longs above all for stable prosperity. And, as one genial and open-minded Chinese businessman said to me in Congo as we sat over a beer in the decayed colonial majesty of Lubumbashi's Belgian-built Park Hotel: 'Africa is China's last hope."

End Snip.

China, it appears, has rediscovered Imperialism.

Pour your self a stiff drink and read the whole thing.

I find myself living in a time that is as if all of the adrenaline fueled nightmares of our grandfathers have returned and become real.

Could you itemize these nightmares?

I'll guess you'd start with:
a) The Great War and a "Place in the Sun"
b) The Great Depression

but are there any more?
