Didn't know this, internet is a huge big source of info.


The colonial pact (also called the regime of the Exclusive) is a trading system imposed by the European countries to their colonies in the seventeenth century and according to which the colony can only import products from the metropolis while it should export only to this one.

Few people know it. But there are indeed secret agreements signed between the former French colonies and their former administrative authority, France. These agreements concern many areas, such as the military, politics, but especially economic agreements.
African countries must deposit their financial reserves with the Banque de France. Thus, France "keeps" the financial reserves of fourteen African countries since 1961: Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Cameroon, France, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

China, which owns 40% of crude oil production in Congo, must transit through the central bank of France before bringing capital and funds to the Congo, which takes time and depreciates the Chinese currency.

China no longer wants this and will be ready for a change in the relationship France - Africa
According to our sources in the Chinese government, there have been secret meetings between the Chinese and the French to end the colonial pact to some former French colonies where the Chinese have the greatest interest. It would be 6 of the 14 African countries forced by France to pay the colonial tax.

Our sources reported that China gave France a five-year ultimatum to end this colonial pact with these six countries or to face serious economic sanctions. France has shown no interest in putting an end to this colonial pact with the African countries concerned. Stay tuned for more information about this

So China wants those former French colonies to be their dependants instead of being France's. Hardly seems like it will make any difference to the people of those countries.

I say give it a chance. It can hardly be worse than what the European colonists have done.

How about letting those countries NOT be dependant on China, the new colonial power?


Oh wait, aged socialists somehow believe allegedly/former communist countries are superior.

Oh yes it can....

It's quite sad that the African countries have virtually no say in their own destiny.

Your view of the world, is much more cosmopolitan than the average Canadian, to put it mildly, and you know exactly what I mean. :eyebrows:

Here’s what Africans think about China’s influence in their countries

China's image on the African continent, is rather positive. This is a well known fact for years and years. Unless we live in North America, then that fact is generally not reported.

I was reading the comments section of The Wall Street Journal, and this comment accurately describes America's difficulties in trying to gain influence in Africa.

Just imagine US go to those "sh**hole" countries, and telling their presidents, "look, you are a sh***hole country and never deserve our investment, the only reason we are investing in your country is because we don't want chinese to help you. If it weren't for the Chinese, never in a million years we would ever think about invest and help your sh***hole country". American, just plain pathetic.

:peace:
