I see no way this could ever backfire!

He didn't seem to contradict anything I said.

You said:"There is not even the slightest possibility of the farms along Nile being used to export food back to China."

By the end of the first paragraph the ny times writer says:
"Affluent countries like Saudi Arabia, South Korea, China and India have descended on fertile plains across the African continent, acquiring huge tracts of land to produce wheat, rice and corn for consumption back home."

That looks like a contradiction to me chief.

Did you not read the quotation or was it your hope I didn't read it?

Look closer, idiot, and no, I don't think you can read, certainly not at the NYT level. But even so I, unlike whoever wrote your bible, would not stoop to stringing you with tall stories to exploit your propensity to see in what you read what you would like to believe.
