I just hate statements like this; "African enthusiasm for Chinese investment"..as if we Africans were 'enthusiastic' about the pre-colonial, and colonial relationships with the West that established Western dominance in the trafficking and exploitation of African peoples, and resources. If anything, at least we know what the Chinese want; commerce, and it's up to us to get the best deal for ourselves. With the West there's a constant manipulation of values, history, and people, that consistently puts Africa on the losing side of any deal, stuck with a begging bowl waiting on scraps offered to us by Western NGOs, and hypocritical 'foreign aid' budgets.
