Sure Hipster, the Americans are sweating real bad. This is Chinese scramble for Africa. What most African presidents liked about them is the business first attitude: no talk of human rights, good governance, corruption or genocides! The western aproach have lots of strings attached.
I dont think its really THAT bad. it depands on how they deal with it.. You can always take advantage of such opportunities but you have to keep your eyes wide open..
Precious, you can argue both ways on the issue of China. They create opporunities for few people and bring their own workers into Africa.
China is thinking strategically, in order to serve it massive 1.6 billion population. For the poor third world countries, it is an open opportunity. It is bad when no questions are asked about poor governance and corruption. The wealth brought by Chinese investment will never benefit the majority.
The Chinese are taking over Africa. Somebody said the wise should start learning Mandarin, not English.
