Boom Tender
what a hell is china doing in africa?
i think they just want to steal african resources to feed their booming economy, back here they tell their citizens that they are helping africa as if they offer assistances for free. all they do is buil a single primary school for free and offer bribes so that their companies can win multi billion dollar government contracts and tenders. chinese are so corrupt and all they are doing is just steal african resources and fool its citizens that they are helping africa.
i am not american, leave america alone, face me!
In recent years, thanks to the efforts by both sides, trade and economic cooperation between China and African countries have achieved a great leap-forward. Overall trade with China surged by 39% between 2004 and 2005, and in 2006, it reached a value of US$55.5 billion from just US$4 billion a decade earlier. The growth rates of many African countries essentially doubled in the past five years. Progress this great has not been seen in the region since the early 1970’s. China is also helping many African nations to build a much-needed infrastructure to develop their economic and industry. This includes road maintenance and health care services in Nigeria, a hydroelectric dam with Ghana, iron ore and railroad deals with Gabon, and a $3 billion copper smelter deal with Zambia. In fact, the African Union Conference Center located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was donated by China.
China is not interfering with the domestic affairs of African nations. China is in Africa for economic reasons and is not doing it militarily, but rather diplomatically.
By investing in Africa, China wants three things:
(1) Raw materials to supply their expanding economy
(2) Prove to the world that guns and conflict don't need to be used to get what a country needs.
(3) Prove to the world they are better then the USA (and the west)
China believes in diplomacy and it right now they are getting what they need, not by force, or telling other countries what to do, or demanding change and reforms.
In conclusion, China is a possible force of good in Africa; the West should help harness that potential.
Edit:
To Joriental:
Actually , I interviewed the Ethiopian Ambassador himself in the Ethiopian Embassy in Beijing last month. So I think this qualifies me to comment on this issue.
You are right, 'We should hear the real voice from local people'. You are not even a Chinese! Does that mean you can't comment on China's issues? Of course not!
Actually YOU can't speak for another. Can't speak not only for Chinese, but also for people from Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Africans.
Don't you think you are a bit hypocritical?
And just for the record, I am not in anyway saying that China is in Africa to save the people. We are there for economic reasons just like everyone else. We are no saint, but we also not exploiters. We are just business people.
Edit:
You want sources of my claims? Here you go, enjoy reading them.
