When a government profits from selling a country out to foreigners & locals don't like it, the government will advise the country's citizens not to be "xenophobic". That word "Xenophobic" has been abused by governments profitting from shaking hands with shit.
So are the locals who don't stand to gain, supposed to be "accepting" of a takeover?
Just sit back & let the foreigners come? Sound familiar?
Well now, China has jumped like a flea to a surprising part of the world. Madagascar. A country that when mentioned, I think of David Attenborough's documentaries. Surprised to see it is now a China-invaded place.
But good for the Madagascans who have backbone!!! Very happy to see them fighting for their country, unlike in Singapore.
Stupid Communist China think that they are angels & cannot believe that people hate them. They are in denial & blame it on "outside" politcal forces "encouraging people here to dislike the Chinese". So thick-skinned. Still want to return.
They dare to take our Singapore military tanks. Why don't they do it to Israel or North Korea? See who is crazier.
They do it to Singapore, it works. Try doing it to US & didn't work.
If China is so great at "helping" Madagascans, why is China hated? If China is unchecked, pretty soon, they will say Madagascar is also under their "One-China" policy.

The mine had not yet opened, but Madagascans were already seething with rage and the Chinese management finally quit Soamahamanina, leaving behind empty tents and cigarette butts.For months, this small city in central Madagascar was engulfed by protests targeted at a Chinese gold mining company, Jiuxing.
For the protesters, the mining operation risked ruining their farms -- one element of a nationwide aversion to the new wave of Chinese investors on the large Indian Ocean island.
Not just in Soamahamanina, but across the country Madagascans have openly expressed their hostility towards the growing presence of China, the country's largest trading partner.
Anti-Chinese sentiment is on the rise in Africa as Beijing increases its business presence on the continent for natural resources while flooding the markets with Made in China goods.
"Madagascar belongs to the Madagascans, not the Chinese or any other foreigners," Fenohasina, a local student, told AFP.
Many farmers who were eager to take advantage of the windfall and had agreed to sell their land to the Chinese miner, are now regretting it.
"Our compatriots are angry with us and accuse us of selling away the country," said farmer Perline Razafiarisoa.
"It's people from outside who are encouraging people here to dislike the Chinese," said Chrysostome Rakotondrazafy, a Jiuxing Mines foreman.
Buckling under the weight of the relentless protests, the Chinese mining workers had little choice but to pack up their bags and leave in October.
The Chinese embassy has warned the authorities in Madagascar against tarnishing its image as an investment destination.The government is concerned at the growing hostilities towards its powerful partner.
"It is essential to prevent this from degenerating into xenophobia," said the ruling HVM party leader Rivo Rakotovao.
