In the last few years it has moved in large numbers of people as well as taking
up numerous business opportunities.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.atlantic-community.org/index/articles/view/Colonialism_Reloaded%3A_China_Is_Conquering_Namibia"> China is also buying its way into Namibia by
giving grants and interest-free loans to the nation. In 2007, China loaned N$1bn (€83m) to Namibia in
order to buy Chinese software to use across Namibian public service organizations.
Is it a case of conquering Namibia,
along with the rest of Africa? Undoubtedly, China has
become a major player in the competition for African resources across the
continent. It is giving a several billion US dollar credit line to Angola, an
oil-rich country. And as in Namibia,
this is accompanied by Chinese construction firms rebuilding roads, schools and
clinics.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.atlantic-community.org/index/articles/view/Colonialism_Reloaded%3A_China_Is_Conquering_Namibia">when </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.atlantic-community.org/index/articles/view/Colonialism_Reloaded%3A_China_Is_Conquering_Namibia"> (SWAPO) fought for liberation from South Africa, China

by SWAPO, the ruling party in Namibia
since its independence in 1990.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/98BEA89D-8BC6-4F7E-B172-CEFC80E32617/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
