i remember some quote, paraphrased here about a european discovering diamonds in Africa, the quote mentions an african child kicking a massive diamond like a hackey-sack. They didnt see the value in it, it was just a rock to them.
Even after the European development in Africa for resources, they still didnt see the value. And now the Chinese are doing the same and facing the same trouble: locals who dont care.
PS: Watch Empire of Dust, its a good documentary about the Chinese resource extraction in Africa. It follows around a PM as he attempts to build a road using local labor from a mine site to a city. The locals just dont care.
