SocraticGadfly: Neocolonialism, Asian-style

Neocolonialism, Asian-style

South Korea, China, India, et al, are buying up more and more Egyptian farmland on the banks of the Nile River. Where will Egyptians, who rioted about bread prices three years ago, get their own food? Will they have yet another revolution against the hypercapitalists in their own country who sold this land? Will they attack the Chinese, Indian and South Korean overlords, or their local viceroys?

None of this can be good for the future stability of North Africa and the Middle East.
