        China is performing a new colonialism. Exploiting poor countries for their cheap resources.

        While the rest of the world is trying to steer away from it because it is so horrible. So please, don’t praise China for it.

          When the only goal by law is maximize profits, the motivation tends to favor minimizing cost. Change the rules, and enforce a new set of values. Only then will the situation improve.
