It's All So Tiresome

I need to carve out some time next weekend to watch this.

How depressing! At the same time, it can't be doing the Chinese well to deal with these conditions, which are entirely cultural.

I’ll probably watch this next weekend. But the colonial powers mostly left Africa with reasonably functional infrastructure and they didn’t have the expertise or motivation to maintain it.

I just read about how Africans treated wells that were dug so that they would have water. It’s frustrating.

But it must be bad for China.

I don't feel sorry for the Chinese by any means. Strange they didn't do any research about the character of the people there. Too bad for them.

I don’t feel sorry for them at all. I think them pouring billions into a policy that is doomed to fail is not a thing.
