Q: Are you following what's going on in South Africa?

In case you haven't, white farms are close to being evicted from the lands they own. There is a civil war looming. 

 

Aussies have begun the process of accepting refugees from South Africa.  I think all other western countries should step up as well, sad to see stuff like this in 2018

I've been sort of following it, but it hasn't been in the news as much as you'd expect.

 

From what I remember of history Zimbabwe did the same thing, beat and evicted the white farmers and gave the land to Mugabe's mates who didn't know the first thing about farming. A few years later the land was just weeds, there were food shortages and the economy was wrecked. Look at the place now.

 

And now S.A is looking to do the same thing. Maybe there's something I'm missing here but if they are making the same mistake that would just be monumentally stupid IMO.

It's a common tactic to blame a minority for the current shitty conditions while the corrupt govt makes off with the funds.

Most of the farmers that got kicked out went to Zambia and food production is up 40 percent in the last decade.

I read yesterday, Zuma has been on trial for corruption ... Whites in SA anticipated 'blacks are taking over' long time ago. I met few white SAfricans in 2008 in Guernsey and they all planned of moving abroad ....

This does not help change the racism agenda as a talking point around the world. The world really needs a black run country that functions well as an example that it can be done. A black run country that actually produces food with a stable government and reasonable tolerance and crime statistics would be a good start, but sadly, I'm not holding my breath for it to happen. South Africa could have been the start especially with Mandela in the history to set an example for the world. Reminds of the corruption of Gary, Indiana and the results. The lower crop production has already started and some white encampments are producing more food with hydroponics than the former farms they had. All that knowledge and ability will be in Australia soon, gives them an excuse not to take North Africa refugees and get more talent for the country.

Just wait, in ten years they'll be begging for them to come back because they don't know proper farming techniques.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
