In my opinion it's not really a secret. When we were in Mozambique in 2016 there was a dispute with China over a construction project. Suddenly, work on another Mozambican government project with a different Chinese company stopped also. Shortly thereafter the dispute was resolved to the first Chinese company's benefit and work on both projects resumed. This is being replicated in nation after nation throughout Africa as China builds out their new Silk Road and takes the natural resources from the African countries.
 
I have had my problems with the Chinese. But after 20 years of visiting Africa, I now think that any outside influence may be stabilizing. Beneficial. They certainly can't function on their own................that is proven. The Chinese only want to take...they offer nothing to the infrastructure............but the African politicians only want to take...........and they are much more violent............55 African countries, 8 "States" ....63 total................all sinking at various rates. Hunt now. Don't wait until "everything is just right" .....it never will be............On the brighter side............well, there is no brighter side..............FWB
 
China pours in the money they are raking in from all over the world. Rest assured they will take a lot and make a bunch of corrupt politicians very wealthy.
 
It's no secret, they are taking over everywhere. Just returned from Costa Rica a couple of weeks ago. They are pumping money into there too, nice new bridges. And now Costa Rica does not recognize Taiwan, amazing what you can buy for a few dollars. Last year I was in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore. Thirty years ago when I was in Bangkok, there were three "high rises" and they were hotels. Now those hotels look like low rise buildings. The money they are pumping into SE Asia is unbelievable.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
