It's worth considering whether China is investing "in Africa" or whether it is simply taking African resources for its own ends. I'm not certain that China's involvement in resource extraction is a net benefit for the continent.

Not defending the asian dude or asians in general , but how come the coli takes one person's opinion and applies it to the whole race/country or whatever?

This is just propaganda from the West. China's partnership with African countries has beneficial for the most part.

Nah he'd get lynched in Kenya too. But it seems like he is talking to some government official or something. You can see from the comments that the average Kenyan is pissed.

Hope they chop him up.
Nah...you'd be makin it too easy for his people...

Watch him end up in somebody's gotdamn beef and broccoli :dead:

You don't need Western propaganda to see it, it's pretty obvious just from first principles.

#1. Raw resource extraction virtually always benefits the country the resources are sent to, not the country the resources are sent from. In the nation shipping away its resources, the only people who really benefit in the long run are the elites who control the sales and any corrupt government officials who make money on the side.

#2. The Chinese government has no altruistic principles whatsoever in its foreign dealings. None. It's not like they have "some" altruistic motivations that fight against other self-serving motivations. I haven't seen the slightest example that they care for human rights, helping other nations, etc. unless it benefits them in some way.

#3. Research the horrific way that China has exploited the citizens of neighboring allies (Cambodia, North Korea), supporting ruthless dictators who destroyed their own people in order to fulfill its own ends. You think they would abuse Cambodians and North Koreans that badly, but would somehow end up helping the average African?


I'm by no means caping for any other government's foreign policy in this analysis. But I think it is easily established that China's relationship with Africa isn't for the purpose of helping anyone other than China itself and a few African elites who will make money for themselves and for China at the expense of their own people.

This should be the first post.

Chinas endgame in Africa is just as rapacious as the euros.

The relationship has been mutually beneficial. The infrastructure investments have greatly improved efficiency andthe ability to do business in these countries. That alone is a huge boost to the countries.

China is acting out of self interest, but Atleast they are upfront about it. They don’t preach democracy on one hand, while supporting autocrats on the hand as has been the practice of the West since the end of colonialism.

Look, it’s hard for these countries to sell bonds in the open market at reasonable rate to fund growth the way the US did and continues to do. So if China provides cheap money and we see results, I can’t be mad af it.

Every time I go to Kenya, I’m amazed at what is going on. The country is on the precipice of something great. There is this great optimistic entrepreneurial energy in the air.

This is a far cry from when the main partners were western countries.

To be honest, even when Obama was in office, Africa was never a priority for the U.S. China is making Africa a priority and the U.S and her allies can’t stand it.
