You are suggesting a form of corporate neo-colonialism, which is an abhorrent position for anyone to have in good faith in the year 2020.

That other people agree with you with downvoting my comment makes me extremely disappointed in the level of discourse here on HN.

Welp, guess we should just let China steam-roll what's left of Africa and dissolve the UN...

It was nice "discoursing" with you :)

The racist comment and corporate neo-colonialism is juvenile labelling not even scratching the surface of the complex relationship between entities.

To have a conversation you have to get past those labels.

In fairness your discourse made conversation impossible. Reflect and rebound.
