It is almost to good to be true , when China will invest/loan 10B USD in Africa . However It is strange when almost as many people in China live under almost the same living conditions as in Africa . This lead me to question China's true motive.
First of all , I don't like the Term "Africa" The situation is very different from country to country , I don't think the same thing will work in Cape Verde that work's in RSA or will anything at all work in DRC right now. Let us in future discus which countries in Africa that needs what kind of investments.
To my knowledge China's investment are hardcore , or capitalism at worse . Further 10B is not a lot and peanuts compared what has been wasted by the west in Iraq and Afghanistan , but enough to pay-off a government. If this is the goal then it is very convenient with "no-strings-attached investments"
I need to see a catalogue for China investment project and the benefit . For now I sit with a funny feeling , E.g , is China's investments in Sudan good? is it helping the Arabs, is it helping the Africans in Sudan? Or is it primary benefiting the Chinese?
