    Colonialism is so last century.

    Now it’s all about economic exploitation, backed by the threat of military force and covert manipulation of local government. It’s a much more efficient and cost effective. And when everything of value has been exploited, you can just walk away claiming they were never a colony and it’s not your problem.
