Where was this American media attention during the rwandan genocide or any other tragedy ? Let's not pretend that America gives a fukk about Africa so when these articles pop up, whether or not it's true, there some alterior motives behind it.
At least China don't mess with the politics and that's something they learned from the West. they are doing business with whoever leaders are in these countries as they define how they want to work with China. Like when Obama went to Africa he was talking about lbgt rights. Like who cares about that shyt when people are in economic distress, it's ridiculous. The Chinese are by no means there from the kindness.of their hearts but at least their loans are strictly business with none of the sanctions, policies, currency devaluation, etc of the west in the past. China obviously sees Africa as a part of it's economic strategy and sees Africa economy taking off. It's kind of what happened with Japan and China where Japan needed resources so it helped China build up it's industrial base. It's a bilateral relationship meaning both parties have interest. If African countries had no interest then they would not work with China, there are no sanctions, military actions, etc. For example in Malaysia where they basically stopped on a major project loaned from China. China basically said okay figure out what you want and let us know. They're not forcing them to finish the projects.
At the very least there seems to be effort made by the Chinese to show that they want to help and uplift people even if it is complete bs. China definitely isn't doing this out of some Goodwill pity mission and it's not a charity but let's not pretend that people in this country care, so these types of articles are always suspect as fukk as to the real motive. At the worst, even China was just like the west, they're going about it much better.
