China is conquering Africa as it becomes the preferred trading partner of the continent's dictators. Beijing is buying up Africa's abundant natural resources and providing it with needed cash and cheaply produced consumer goods in return.

Great cartoon by Morin in The Miami Herald. Masterpiece of humor showing our trading position before China. It interesting how our Congress is questioning treaties of trade with Colombia, Panama, Peru and S Korea arguing problems with human rights and labor unions. Why not with China??

With no jobs and no money, many female Iraqi refugees in Syria have turned to prostitution to survive. 'Many of these women and girls, including some barely in their teens, are recent refugees,' writes Katherine Zoepf. 'Some are tricked or forced into prostitution, but most say they have no other means of supporting their families.'

It isn't in China's interest for the US to crash and burn economically, but neither is propping up the dollar indefinitely, especially if it ceases to be the oil transaction currency standard. The danger, however, is that if China divests of dollars in earnest, other countries will follow suit.

200 years ago the British Parliament passed a law abolishing international slave trade. It took a civil war for the United States to accomplish the same result. By the start of the 20th century, however, slavery was thought to be an evil banished into the past. However, in today's world there are more slaves and to this we have turned a blind eye.
