The Old colonial countries mostly from the West raped and disorientated Africa. The wealth for the Development seen today in the west has been made on this robbed wealth.. Asia and Africa is what it is today because of Colonialism. The Chinese are willing to pay a price for the goods, a better price than what the west will pay. The colonials on the other hand just grabbed and took it away. The West is sorry that they cannot do the same today as well. So China will be criticized always

China has been in africa since the 50's. They help Africans when they when they were also down.

China is in Africa to stay whether anybody likes it or not Chinas. Long term, objectives are anybody's guess. I think the get China out of Africa campaign will heat up very soon. Europe will not give up Africa without a fight unfortunately there are many uncle tom African decent people. Who will assist them for the few crumbs they'll get while the white men calls them nigger behind there backs.
