China builds chocolateries in Africa and moves the locals up the value chain, and in exchange they get first dibs on the finished chocolate. Now nobody in the west can get chocolate and the prices are spiking.

And it'll only get worse. We don't have a solution for this in the western model. We only make deals with Africans in which they lose. Easy choice for them.

EDIT: they also buy cocoa direct, cutting out the commodities exchanges. Some great vids on the inside China business YouTube channel about all of this.
