The Donation of US$I million for Kalehe, where 450 people died and 5,000 people are missing from a country, the size of China, which on record has substantially benefitted from the DRC, short payed taxes and contracts and is involved in a multitude of shenanigans, at a rate lower than the going brown paper bag rate, must have come like a slap in the face for the DRC population and Felix himself.
I didn't read anywhere that China will back pay what they robbed.
So far Felix got from Xi was Peking Duck, 21 canon shots, a walk past a row of pretty Chinese go-go girls and a memorandum of understanding that in future negotiations will not be DRC with companies, but DRC with China.
In other words you get even fukked over harder.
Looking also at the US$1 million dollar donation, that is a fucking great result for a 5 days jolly.
I hope for Felix that Xi paid 50% of his fuel bill, otherwise Felix will be out of pocket for this exercise.
You gotta be happy with that, he would have been better off with a new Dyson Vacuum cleaner for the misses.
I hope Felix didn't go to China with the thought he would get an instant injection of 10 biillion US dollars from China into the DRC coffers.
It is not how China operates, their normal mode of operations is that they have listening devices under your bed and in your bathroom, during the day they talk till your head hurts.
After having survived that for a couple of days, you can fuck off with a folder of paper contracts which will not be honoured, a big smile and a kiss on the cheek from Xi.
And the Chinese rip off continues.
Btw Shanghai is not where Zijin lives.
Shanghai is for cheap shopping for the misses and sightseeing at the metamorphosis of Shanghai into what it is now.
Felix was probably told by Xi 'If you are a good boy, Kinshasa will look like Shanghai in the foreseeable future, nudge nudge, wink, wink'.
I wonder what Felix thinks when he flies over the South China Sea on the way home.
Will Jules tell him on arrival home 'You have been fukked over with Peking Duck mate!'?
