Chinese invasion


The Algerian government has united local religious leaders and religious mentors into an organization designed to promote the traditional (in North Africa) current of Sunni Islam, the Malikites. This is done in order to counteract the more radical Wahhabi form of Islam, which dominates Saudi Arabia (and often extended from 1970 for money received from oil exports). Al Qaeda was founded by Wahhabis and similarly-minted Salafis (from Egypt). Malikites are also fundamentalists, but more mystical and less involved in Islamic terrorism. Malikites believe that it is better to influence others by their personal example, rather than terror. Local Islamic terrorists responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Algerians in the 1990s were Salafis and were not particularly popular in Algeria. The government is trying to take advantage of these anti-Salafist attitudes and to persuade religious young Algerians to follow the Maliki traditions. This may work, but Salafis and Wahhabis are still considered attractive among young people, at least for all the bloody slaughter they have conducted over the past four decades.

The defeat of Islamic terrorists who attacked the natural gas field in January of this year demoralized local Islamic terrorists. An unsuccessful raid on the gas field was immediately followed by the defeat of Al-Qaida in Mali and the destruction of its bases in the country. Many Algerian Islamic terrorists fled to Mali last year, and by February of this year, many of them were destroyed, and the rest had fled in all directions. Only a few returned to Algeria, mainly because Algerians were unhappy with the al-Qaida attack on the country's main source of national wealth (natural gas field). The government took advantage of this situation and in the past two months has strengthened counter-terrorism operations. So, at present, Algerian Islamic terrorists are busy with their survival. They did not disappear, but were greatly weakened and went into deep defense.



China is becoming a major player in Algeria. Over the past ten years, Chinese firms have invested 1.5 billion dollars in this country. Currently around 30 000 Chinese are working in Algeria for fifty Chinese companies. Most Chinese are engaged in transportation (road and rail) projects. Although there is huge unemployment in Algeria, there are few people with the necessary skills to participate in these projects, and China brings its own skilled workers there. Some of these Chinese settle in Algeria, but they are not as numerous as in non-Arab Africa. Unlike many other cultures, Arabs are not particularly hospitable to foreigners. Although many oil-rich Arab states attract foreigners to most civilian jobs, they are not encouraged to settle in the country, and there are strict laws regulating the presence of foreign workers. Algeria sees in Chinese investments (especially in infrastructure) a way to develop the local economy and thus provide jobs for many young Algerians who are increasingly dissatisfied with high unemployment. Chinese workers are very efficient and, as a rule, complete their projects on time and within budget. This makes the Chinese attractive in the government, which is mainly due to corruption is ineffective, especially when it comes to the construction of public facilities.

3 April 2013 year, the first time in stories Chinese warships visited Algeria. Two Chinese warships, recently returned from the coast of Somalia, where they fought against piracy, visited Algeria on a four-day visit, during which they conducted exercises with their Algerian counterparts. It also provided an opportunity for the Chinese to demonstrate their warships, which over the past two decades have gone from replicas of the Soviet ships of the Cold War to low-cost options for more modern models. Algeria is also restoring its fleet and has already acquired several Russian warships.

    China is actively promoting its foreign policy .... a dangerous "friend" is sitting by our side, but from this friend it would be nice for our officials to emphasize a lot of useful things and not constantly repeat one phrase: "only 20 years have passed, the old system is so fast do not rebuild. " Look at the Chinese gentlemen officials, learn .... it's enough to constantly change summer time to winter time ... it's not funny anymore

      Sit and not lean out! So would like the states! They are the most navel on this earth!

      If China has been sitting quieter than water for many years, this does not mean that now, when some movement has appeared, then China is a dangerous "friend".

    Well, that's a lie again !!! The article reads "Al-Qaeda was founded by Wahhabis and similarly minded Salafis (from Egypt)."
    Here is what Paul Joseph Watson wrote - "The fact that al-Qaeda was created by Western intelligence services and has always been used in their interests demonstrates the following: the threat from this organization is one of the greatest hoaxes in world history. By supporting terrorists in Afghanistan, Libya, and now in Syria, Barack Obama is the main leader of al-Qaeda. Wherever on the world map his administration intends to dominate, terrorists appear to do their dirty work. Their efforts are paid in dollars from the pockets of taxpayers. By ordering an airstrike on the White House, Obama will destroy the main source of world terrorism is his own administration. Barack Obama himself is nothing more than the first person of the global criminal syndicate "
    Indeed, it is believed by many researchers that al-Qaeda was organized by Western intelligence services, because its leader was closely associated with the CIA, and as they say there are no former Tsereushniks))) and it is strange that a month before 11/09/2001 he was visited in Hospital Tsereushniki.
    As for the government of Algeria, they are great, that "The government of Algeria has united local religious leaders and religious leaders in an organization designed to promote the traditional (in North Africa) trend of Sunni Islam - the Maliki. This is done with the aim of opposing the more radical Wahhabi form of Islam."
    I also emphasized on this site many times that in order to fight extremism in Russia, Islamic youth must be taught true Sunni Islam (in our country these are Hanifists and Shafiists).
    And so an interesting article about how China penetrates into Africa, and by the tone of the article one can guess how Westerners are afraid of this))).

      The entire military fleet of the West and, of course, led by the United States is inherently colonial (with the exception of Trident-2 carriers). Plus, from France, for example, to Algeria - a stone's throw (for the transfer of punishers, etc.) The Chinese fleet is essentially masked to protect the coast in the East and South China Seas, and Africa is very far away and it is necessary to sail along NATO-controlled "bottlenecks ". The whole misfortune of China is that for 50 years of slave labor of its citizens, it received green and other colored candy wrappers as payment and trying to turn them into real value, realized that the only place where this waste paper meant something was Africa. Moreover, Western colonialists apparently welcome this process of injecting Chinese capital as another way to fool and rob the slanting ones. Of course, the PRC is now frantically building an ocean-going fleet, but it is true that it still needs twenty years, but no one intends to wait for it.

    If you don’t go, then others come. The Soviet Union attacked in all of Africa, promoted economic military and, most importantly, its political influence, albeit not always successfully, but purposefully and with a perspective. Today, Russia is not capable of such projects and the center of power is not located in Moscow elsewhere. , and the hegemon will not allow you to climb where they don’t need. China is easier — he smiles and climbs forward; he has something to offer and something to take.

    What for the Chinese Afghanistan? with a proud but impoverished people, in a country where, apart from drugs, you can neither buy nor sell nor revive? When they talk about the invincibility of Afghanistan, I recall a joke about the elusive Joe (two cowboys are sitting in the saloon, suddenly there is a gunfire outside, a horse is neighing, a yelp of yapping spurs, one cowboy as a friend: what is it? And that - yes this is the elusive Joe indulges - And why the elusive , would everyone get together and catch him? - But who the hell is he for!)
    So what the hell does anyone need afghan ??
    The Chinese need oil, metal, any resources other than human resources, especially land where rice can be grown and populated by the Chinese. They would rather take the Altai Territory and Vladivostok than their desert.

      Afghan is an excellent bridgehead on the way to the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz in particular. Until now, the United States and its mongrel srail are only holding back Iran’s ability to knock out the entire economy of the West with a single knockout ... China would also be nice to seize such an opportunity plus covering up the Chinese drug traffic. And so long as the states are holding the Chinese by the eggs - controlling the Strait of Moluks and, on the whole, sea communications and even there is nothing to scare them with the Chinese. And so, from southern Afghanistan, SU-27 will perfectly reach the zone of strategically important US interests in Saudi Arabia ...

    Libya_ Chinese and their dough there were 10 times more than Russian. Pissed away (Chinese), could not protect. Before climbing into NATO's underbelly, the Chinese need to understand one truth. Sooner or later, their investments in such regions will have to be defended and not only on the margins of the UN. In the meantime, China is climbing into the fiefdom of the Anglo-Saxons, in terms of behavior and determination to act outside the South China Sea, I will apologize more (to the link). So pour money into Algeria, build ... and in a year or so, it is quite possible that democrats with wahas will come and put "big and fat" on Kytay investments.

      As far as I know, China in the postwar period pumps even more oil from Libya. And the fact that without direct participation in the conflict, China received an even larger piece of Libyan oil pie than before the events of 2011, makes it clear that they reckon with China and do not want to contact again.

    Two Chinese warships recently returning from the coast of Somalia

    I do not know about Somalia, but at the end of March they were in Malta, and on April 15 they moored in Lisbon. This is the so-called 13th Escort Taskforce consisting of 2 Project 054 Huangshan URO frigates and a support ship.
    As for Algeria, it is not the only one in Africa who is "spud" by the Celestial Empire. Xi Jinping immediately from Moscow, on March 24, ended up in Tanzania. then I visited some other people in Africa. then he received other Africans at home. the Celestial Empire in Africa is serious. The gringos once complained in an economic survey that their hunghozes are being squeezed hard on this continent.

      Mali showed (in fact, like Libya, etc.) that the colonialists did not intend to give up their positions, up to the use of all their military power. And these exotic visits of a pair of junks against the background of actions, for example, of the Fifth Republic, are, to put it mildly, incommensurable.

    I agree with the colleague, China has long occupied a niche in Africa that was empty after the collapse of the USSR. Conversing with the black Angolans, the Mozambicans confirm everything, China is densely settled in Africa and pursues the policy of the USSR, i.e. it’s not only pumping out resources like but it also invests in infrastructure development, generously lends to local governments. A holy place does not happen, and if Russia wants to revive its former presence in Africa, it will have to fight with two very serious opponents — the West and China. And time is running out.

      China, like air, needs resources and they climb anywhere where they are ...
      Those. An important factor is the diversification of the supply of resources to China.
      And to Africa, because there are no anti-Chinese sentiments that are characteristic of all other regions ..
      And also because Western countries are more careful about the risks of a possible loss of investment.
      Also, Europe is an important political component, i.e. level of democratization, human rights, corruption, etc.
      China does not suffer from this and acts very pragmatically, investing money even in frankly dictatorial regimes ..
      In addition, African elites agree to such conditions that countries of other regions do not agree to ..
      Well, investing dollars of which they have heaps .. so as not to disappear in the event of a collapse of the dollar system .. yes and just inflation ..

    Everyone needs resources, it's not about resources. China is buying them, too, developing rapidly. China does not need a war with a country occupying 1/7 of the world and whose nuclear potential is capable of destroying the entire world. It is you, the Russian war, you are looking for everyone who develops that enemy, and why not a friend because China can be a very strong ally? The problem is you do not want to live peacefully with your neighbors, you want all the neighbors to be backward and why not help your neighbor, because this neighbor in the future can be a strong alliance! The result is obvious when the United States has such allies as Israel France Turkey Germany China (as you say an ally of the United States), then Russia has allies like Tajikistan, Armenia, Kazakhstan. When the United States was making allies for itself, you were making "dangerous friends." Calling all neighbors `` dangerous friends '' at the end make them really become enemies.

      Now it is vitally important for the United States to PASS someone with someone away from their shores. The Russians showed themselves to be a nation "without a tsar in their heads" and therefore are most suitable to be fooled again and slipped into the "necessary" enemy. It should be borne in mind that almost 90% of Russian media are affiliates of Western and, in particular, American owners. And now the image of China as an ENEMY is being formed in the "Russian" media very subtly and gradually. And I see that this is going well ... almost EVERYONE on this forum shares the point of view that China is NOT a friend of Russia ... Well, what can you do if the Russian people are so stupid and trusting in their mass ... Well, that means will be at war with China ... to the delight of the psi ...
