we chinese never do that,but when they first arrived in africa,they did and broke millions of families by selling local people into slavery.and they invented word" safari",shameless and blatantly robbed everything their.nobody really knows how many african people perished from several centurys plunder.
China is a giant locust and they won´t stop until everything is gone.
we have one fifth of the human population,but we dont consume one fifth of the world resources,per captia you guys consumes many many times more the world resources,i guess you are the real locust sucking dry the planet.

It took a rocket scientist to figure out the Chinese are abusing Africa for its resources. Interesting....
The chinese are not a bad people. They are doing the same thing Europeans had been doing not to long ago?
More powerful nations abuse and pillage poorer ones, that is a fact, and is human nature.
The Chinese are present day European colonists, nothing more.
Even though the Chinese cant get my Dell laptop charger working, even after 8 tries, thats a different matter.

China is doing what any capatalistic new empire would do, get as much as you can whilst no-one is looking and then answer the critics.
But i do agree with that staement that Africa is becoming very Chinese...
But then can you blame a raped continent where nothing that has been promised is ever delivered by the Wetern powers?
If China delivers then one can only blame the western powers that have ignored the needs of the many.
I am from South Africa and they are seeing the benfits of Chinese intervention already.
China is very much after African resources be it mineral or person :-)

Seriously, by the tone of your post you sound very sincere and logical. I have to ask where are you from? To me it sounds like advice from aliens that exist in a distant galaxy.
Are you at all familiar with sub-saharan Africa? What goes on in Africa? African’s living in other countries for centuries? You are preaching logic. Do you have any idea how out of place that is?
