Yeah, funny that China is investing so heavily in it then.....scratches head. It's almost as though they can see the potential for developing markets. China invests vast sums globally. African countries are way down the list.
I have prepared one of my own time capsules. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like. |

UK direct investment in Africa was £42.7bn in 2016, compared with £44.3bn from the US, £38bn from France and £31bn from China, according to data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Sorry Breitbart didn't have anything on the subject.

Sorry Breitbart didn't have anything on the subject. Well, that's in line with what I said. It's all about emerging markets for the neo liberals. How much it's throwing good money after bad is for others to question....probably what is being invested in would reveal that. I should imagine the western nations are giving far more in aid than China. Edited by Stirlingsays (03 Jan 2019 12.39am)

I think the usual strategy is to look at a portfolio of investments in which high volume low growth markets provide greater security, whilst volatile low volume high growth markets offer better returns. So it isn't really an either / or scenario. Bit like Rees-Mogg's holding in an Indonesian pharma business that makes drugs used illegally for abortion. With an economic system entirely predicated upon growth coupled with the stagnation of western markets I don't really see any alternative. Without changing the system.

Just to be absolutely clear Rees-Mogg is a minority shareholder in an investment company that has a minority shareholding in an Indonesian pharmaceutical company that makes pills to treat stomach ulcers but which are known to trigger terminations and therefore used by some illegal abortion clinics

This argument will be impossible to prove either way. The so called experts predict we will be worse off but they are frequently wrong and have failed to see economic crashes on many occasions. They were also wrong when Margret Thatcher cut taxes during the recession when they said this was a bad idea. Experts are driven by political leanings the same as the rest of us so when they claim to be independent I always take that with a pinch of salt. I said this will be impossible to prove because the economy will go through a major shakeup due to AI and automation. This will happen with or without Brexit but no doubt companies will blame Brexit as a handy whipping boy. So it will almost be difficult to prove that if we had stayed in we would be better off as the goal posts are going to move for everyone.
And the government has a perfect excuse to force more cuts and austerity, economy not doing well? Ah yes Brexit, which the people voted for, not a government act

This company manufactures mifepristone and misoprostol. Misoprostol is offered with mifepristone by the NHS in terminations. The Indonesian pharmaceutical company Kalbe Farma makes misoprostol which is marketed as a preventer of stomach ulcers. Indian drugs website Inpharmation lists both drugs as being for the termination of pregnancy. Misoprostol can also be prescribed to prevent stomach ulcers, but will induce labour in pregnant women. In pregnancies of up to 12 weeks, it results in a termination in nine out of ten cases. His defence for his investment in Kalbe Farma is because abortion is illegal in Indonesia and the pills are not openly sold for the purpose of abortions. Whereas abortion is legal in India and the pills are marketed for that purpose. Abortion is permitted in Indonesia in cases where a woman has been raped something JRM is opposed to.
