Feel the over exhuberance for Africa

(those highly unlikely projections at bottom)

Just gotta breed and FDI/Fintech/high tech jobs will appear

As for Haiti, doubtful Chinese would want to deal with them despite proximity to US (not so close like Cuba, 700 miles from Miami)

And Russia wouldn't use them even for Donbas foot soldiers.
