It seems everything concerns the largest market in the world these days. On one hand, everyone wants to get access to that market, since it provides a huge growth potential. It makes it possible for them to dictate all kinds of conditions.
One the other hand, the large economy is dependant on importing raw materials. So they are investing in areas with rich supply of raw material such as Africa. It seems they use an old classical technique, since they send criminals there.
So colonisation is happening again, the problem is that is it not a democracy and they are not used to follow the economical principals of supply and demand.
Lately it seems (according to the news papers) they put people from forreign countries in jail when they don't get the prices they want, or when they are stopped from taking control of a companies.
The conclusion is that they can do whatever they want. Nobody dares to say anything, not even our governments, since everyone is afraid to loose business. You have to take that into consideration if you are working in a company having industry or business there. All companies, basically.
Don't get enemies, don't question things, don't dig into things, for your own good. It's the reality no matter what democratic country you happen to come from..
