In my opinion it's not really a secret. When we were in Mozambique in 2016 there was a dispute with China over a construction project. Suddenly, work on another Mozambican government project with a different Chinese company stopped also. Shortly thereafter the dispute was resolved to the first Chinese company's benefit and work on both projects resumed. This is being replicated in nation after nation throughout Africa as China builds out their new Silk Road and takes the natural resources from the African countries.
 
I have had my problems with the Chinese. But after 20 years of visiting Africa, I now think that any outside influence may be stabilizing. Beneficial. They certainly can't function on their own................that is proven. The Chinese only want to take...they offer nothing to the infrastructure............but the African politicians only want to take...........and they are much more violent............55 African countries, 8 "States" ....63 total................all sinking at various rates. Hunt now. Don't wait until "everything is just right" .....it never will be............On the brighter side............well, there is no brighter side..............FWB
 
China pours in the money they are raking in from all over the world. Rest assured they will take a lot and make a bunch of corrupt politicians very wealthy.
 
It's no secret, they are taking over everywhere. Just returned from Costa Rica a couple of weeks ago. They are pumping money into there too, nice new bridges. And now Costa Rica does not recognize Taiwan, amazing what you can buy for a few dollars. Last year I was in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore. Thirty years ago when I was in Bangkok, there were three "high rises" and they were hotels. Now those hotels look like low rise buildings. The money they are pumping into SE Asia is unbelievable.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
