西方对中国最愤怒是中国把他们躺赚了几十年的暴利生意，一个个砸成了普通人都买得起的日用品。
这种愤怒已经刻进了很多西方人的骨子里，他们不是不理解，而是不愿意理解，不愿意接受自己再也不能躺着剥削全世界的事实。
二十年前，中国修地铁要用盾构机，全部从德国进口。一台盾构机德国卖3.5亿人民币，一分钱都不能少。买的时候还要签霸王条款，机器坏了只能找德国工程师来修。
德国工程师来中国一天的工资是3000欧元，换算成人民币当时是3万多。他们坐飞机必须坐头等舱，住必须是五星级酒店的总统套房。
维修的时候中国人不能在旁边看，必须全部离场，修完了直接开账单，换一个小小的密封圈就要10万人民币。
有时候机器出个小故障，要等德国工程师三个月才能来，整个工地几百人就只能闲着干等，每天损失几百万。
没有人觉得这有什么不对。全世界都默认，高科技就应该卖这么贵，德国人掌握了技术，他们就有资格赚这个钱。甚至放言给中国图纸也造不出盾构机。
但到2008年，中国第一台拥有自主知识产权的盾构机下线。当时德国人根本不在乎，他们觉得中国人造出来的肯定是垃圾，用不了几天就会坏。
结果中国盾构机不仅能用，而且价格直接开到了5000万一台。后来随着技术不断成熟，产量不断提高，现在一台国产盾构机只要2000多万人民币，价格只有原来德国的十七分之一。

德国盾构机的垄断神话一夜之间破灭了。原来全世界只有德国、日本、美国少数几个国家能造盾构机，他们联合起来维持高价，想卖多少钱就卖多少钱。
现在中国加入了，他们的价格体系彻底崩溃了。现在德国盾构机想卖出去，价格也只能降到和中国差不多的水平，再也不能躺着赚暴利了。
而这样的事在各个领域都不断的上演，套用足球解说的一句话，留给西方垄断的时间不多了。

Why Did The West Destroy Libya’s Water Supply In 2011?

Did you know that the West destroyed one of the largest water infrastructure projects ever attempted in human history, just to punish the sovereign African country that created this project?

In this report for the Spearhead, @okorieuche_ sheds light on Libya’s fabled and tragically ill-fated Great Man-made River Project (GMRP), a project that could have sustained Libya’s water supply into the distant future, and transformed the wider Saharan and Sahelian regions of Africa, geologically and economically, for the better, had NATO not carried out its illegal invasion of Libya in 2011 and murdered its popular, revolutionary leader Muammar Gaddafi.

A Nation Losing Its HUMANITY.

Some events shatter a society so deeply that words are no longer enough to express the shock; the brutal killing of a teacher and the horrific rape and murder of an elderly woman are among such tragedies. These are not isolated incidents but signs of deeper moral and social decay.

How did we get here? How did we reach a point where teachers are hunted and killed, and the elderly—custodians of memory and wisdom—suffer such dehumanising violence?

This is more than a security crisis; it is a failure of collective humanity. We have become desensitised, consuming tragedy briefly and moving on, allowing indifference to normalise the unacceptable.

To the families affected, I share in your grief. But grief alone is not enough.

We must demand accountability and urgent systemic change. If such atrocities no longer move us to action, then we risk losing our shared humanity. -PO

What is the basic logic that the western-enforced global economic system operates on, and why is this logic fundamentally life-threatening from an African perspective?

As Africans, we are very ungrateful to the Chinese.

Without China, many countries in Africa wouldn't be able to have new and modern infrastructure.

From railways to super highways, power plants, airports, etc.

Without China, millions of Africans won't be able to afford cheap/affordable smart phones and home appliances.

If there's one country on earth that has helped to lift millions of Africans out of poverty, it is China.

China is the reason why we have what looks like a middle class in Africa.

It costs an average of $25 ,000 to install a solar system in a family home in the U.S.

In the U.K, the average cost is £9,000 – £13,000

In Canada, $25,000

In France: 7,500 to €22,000

Across Africa, the average cost is $3,000.

Thanks to affordable solar systems from China. Without China, some of you that have solar systems in your homes won't be able to afford it. You wouldn't know what a steady and regular supply of power looks like.

Africa owes China a ton of gratitude.

We should stop with these silly propaganda against China.

If there's one country on earth we should be grateful to, it is China.

Lumumba was killed in 1961 because he threatened the extraction.

Sankara was killed in 1987 because he threatened the extraction.

Today the extraction does not need to kill presidents as often.

It has a more elegant mechanism.

Fund instability.

Instability creates ungovernable territories.

Ungovernable territories require security frameworks.

Security frameworks require foreign expertise, foreign equipment, foreign presence.

Foreign presence creates access.

Access serves the extraction.

The bodies are still produced.

They are just produced by militias now instead of firing squads.

The distance between the funder and the corpse is longer.

The outcome is identical.

Exposed: How the CIA Manufactured Iran’s Protest “Massacre” Narrative

Sri Lankan journalist Nury Vittachi exposes how the so-called Iran protest “massacre” narrative was not organic, but carefully built through a network of Western-backed groups, media platforms and CIA-linked influence channels. What was presented to the world as fact, was part of a coordinated information operation.

The bigger lesson here is that propaganda is often packaged as objective reporting, repeated across mainstream media platforms, and pushed to audiences as credible news. African audiences need to pay attention to that.

We have to question the information being fed to us, ask who is behind it, whose interests it serves, and what political agenda may be shaping the story. Because when propaganda is dressed up as credible journalism, it can be used to mislead the public, weaken independent thinking, undermine governments, and reinforce imperial power under the cover of news.

I'm not sure where people get the impression that manufactured insecurity in Nigeria is "sabotaging" Tinubu’s government. Did Tinubu tell you that a safe and secure Nigeria is part of his agenda?

Someone that is a stage actor placed in that seat by his US benefactors to be part of their Kabuki dance as they destroy whatever is left of Nigerian sovereignty?

I think people need to consult history and read about Mobutu Sese Seko. DRC was one of the worst governed, most unsafe, least stable countries in the world under him and the CIA backed him for 32 years. It's not the CIA's business whether its puppet governs a country well or not - in fact the worse its puppet governs, the better for its interests.

The most important thing you need to understand about US foreign policy as an African is that your life isn't just unimportant, but not even a factor at all. "Africa" according to the white people who rule the world, is not a place where 1.4 billion people live, but a stretch of resource-rich land where resources are to be extracted cheaply. Whatever happens to you in the process of that extraction is not the US government's problem, and you need to understand that.

Back when the primary resource extracted from Nigeria was oil, the manufactured insecurity centred around oil installations, and all it did was keep the surrounding areas poor and unsafe, so that at no point was there ever a serious conversation about the effects of oil extraction on those communities. Eventually the American and European oil extraction entities realised that offshore was the real game and they diverted altogether from onshore extraction. Now their offshore operations have little or no interaction with Nigeria, and they are protected by American and Israeli security. Your "navy" and "NIMASA" are basically controlled by Israeli contractors, FYI.

Now that attention has shifted to solid minerals in the middle belt and North, the manufactured violence has mysteriously exploded there. Its only purpose is to depopulate the region and make it available for mining - Sen Riley Moore's recent 'recommendation' explicitly mentioned "cooperation with US mining interests" as a precondition for peace in case you've forgotten.

Tinubu's role is to watch it happen, release a mealy mouthed statement, and do nothing. That's why they put him there. I know it might be hard for you to process, but to understand how the world works, you need to understand that the lives of 230 million Nigerians were never a factor in the decision to impose a puppet president from Washington DC. As far as the decision makers are concerned, this land that contains your ancestors and your childhood memories and everything you hold dear and precious, is just an entry on a spreadsheet titled "Rare Earth Mineral Locations."

They see your entire continent and its 1.4 billion inhabitants the way you see a farm you bought that has anthills on it. Your interest is in what you can get from the soil, not with the billions of ants who call that place home. Unlike during direct colonialism, you can't just roll in the bulldozer and destroy the anthills, so you find some of the ants who are willing to work for you, and you get them to destroy their own anthills.

You deploy an orange beret "Revolution Now" ant leader to misdirect and mislead any ants that want to organise a resistance against you. You deploy "civil society" ants to convince the 1.4 billion ants that what they need is "democracy" instead of organised resistance and obtaining the industrial means to resist. You deploy electoral candidate ants to waste ant resources and destroy, institutions and subvert ant society. You deploy religious ant leaders to teach the ants to pray for individual salvation instead of carry out group resistance. And then you give the bulldozer to Boko Haram/JNIM/ISWAP/RSF ants to physically destroy the anthills, so the ants blame themselves for their own destruction.

Then the farm is yours.

As close as I was to David, he blocked me, apparently because I believe Africa's problems (particularly lack of consciousness, etc) are manufactured in Africa and neither the US nor Russia can solve them for us and there's no need picking a useless fight with the US when we're a stupid clan.

However, it is deeply painful that you guys had to make this very distasteful tweet. David founded you. I remember subscribing for @ least 2 years or more just to support the cause financially. I remember I stopped the subscriptions last year when non of UC could understand David anymore.

I remember a few years ago, David once told me he intended to leave WAW to run its own affairs whilst he'll pursue a new or different path. He later did just so. So why this tweet?

You can disagree with your founder and RESPECT him enough to issue a more sensible statement: "We regret to announce to the General Public, that our founder David has left the company to pursue a different interest. We wish him well in this new path and we thank him for giving us the beauty we now have in our hands.

The tweet you made is Indeed disgraceful and unconscionable. Instead of ridiculing David, it makes the company look STUPID and ARROGANT! Fools!

It simply shows David did the right thing by leaving you lots.
