egypt has a population ten -- ten times more than israel, and it has a gdp, a gross domestic product equal to israel. so the egyptian economy is very poor. and as i said earlier, the competitor indicators are not very good in favor of the country. it doesn't have an advanced working class or high-tech logically networked working place, it doesn't have a good infrastructure, and the violence and instability are going to run in the country. president al-sisi can make promises to sell egypt, but at the end of the day, egypt needs to be on sale in order for those international investors to come in. those projects will have to be sold to the international investors at a discount >> yeah. >> meaning major infrastructure in the country are going to be given away at a discount. >> at a discount but to the highest bidder? many what about china? is china interested in egypt? it seems to be in every other country it can get into at moment? >> how wouldn't it? especially since we're talking about the suez canal as well. i have personally seen a trace of their aggressive investment policy in afri
