@belzondium Zimbabwe's life expectancy in 1990, 60 years old, today it's 37, lowest in the world. Today, Zimbabwe, once considered the breadbasket of Africa, is a net importer of foodstuffs, with the European Union and United States providing emergency food relief as humanitarian aid on a regular basis.Part of the issue is due to a marked decrease in agricultural production as fertile farmland once cultivated by trained white farmers

@Riddlerx333x exactly.you hit the point

@VisualAural A more accurate statement would be that China aims to acquire new wealth whether it results in Africa's development or not. The Chinese are no different than any other major power in that respect. Bear in mind that the China/Africa relationship is in its infancy. There is going to be a serious scramble for resources in this century, and Africans would be wise to trust no one, either the West or China.

Biased and scripted. The aim of China-Africa relations is for China to get the natural resources they need while building Africa's infrastructure. In the long term they hope Africa will be fully modernized and hence be a new market for Chinese products. Sure some incidents happen, but that is more of a personal matter within the Chinese companies it does not change the fact that China does aim to help Africa's development.

I whole heartedly agree. There are so many problems in the world and it seems that so many people blame the entire country and grow to hate the people themselves. But truth is...what the hell have the people done? Probably absolutely nothing. It's really all the government.
