Hillary Clinton: China not a model for Africa

Defending western style governance, Clinton?Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during an interview on Zambia?s Africa 360 program:?


Authoritarian regimes try to put everybody into the same mold: you?ve got to do this, that, and only it, because that?s what you?re told to do. I want to see an African renaissance that provides opportunities of all kinds for people, because I am confident you can compete with anybody anywhere.


Well, the US is hardly a?model?for Africa. The Africans have experience with Western-style colonila rule and reject it.?


The two models for emerging third world nations are China and India.


China seems to be the bigger?success?story. Indeed, ?China?has a communist system in government, but it is very decentralized and has permitted free market reforms.?


One of the TED experts on China, called the country a civilization-state rather than a nation-state. China is a 5,000 year old culture, now isn't it??


Is the US First World model relevant for Africa? Hardly.?


Corruption?is a big problem in Africa and such a system thrives under government?controlled?corporatism.?


Egypt is a good example of what can?happen?when the government is hopelessly corrupt and controls all of the means of?production..?
