The military aspect could certainly be as big a threat ... I just don't see that now, but the Chinese are very patient people, so maybe it's part of their long-term strategy for the African continent.Response by CW5 Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 20 at 2014 9:38 PM2014-10-20T21:38:40-04:002014-10-20T21:38:40-04:00SFC Mark Merino286018<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I sure hope the best way to approach this isn't to cut another 100,000 troops.Response by SFC Mark Merino made Oct 20 at 2014 11:08 PM2014-10-20T23:08:07-04:002014-10-20T23:08:07-04:00SFC A.M.
