You’ll find it here:

“There’s no doubt that China is pursuing its own interests in Africa. But make no mistake: so are those who lambast China. They are jealously guarding their own colonialist influence over the African masses rather than striking a blow for African independence.”

When you read the rest of this and realise that amongst those seeking to preserve their ‘colonialist influence over the African masses’ are those rapacious capitalists at Human Rights Watch, you’ll understand why this article doesn’t really merit being dignified with a rational response.

I note it only to make an observation about what happens to some alleged Marxists once they lose the faith: they surrender any concern with the oppressed of the world but keep a vulgar economic determinism. With this, they naturally turn their attention to China and because they still imagine righteousness is a function of being on the right side of what they misconceive to be History, they prostrate themselves before the rising Dragon and proceed to make contorted excuses for this pitiful state on Comment is Superfluous. This is what is wrong, for example, with Martin Jacques and what is self-evidently wrong with the piss-poor and frankly grotesque excuse for a contrarian that is Brendan O’Neill.
