Very informative post Cmon, the Chinese have had their eye on Africa for a few years now and it looks like they have got certain countries in their pocket.
The Chinese way of doing business fits in snugly with the corruption which abounds in African culture.
The prospect of all the wealth of minerals etc which the Chinese have undoubtedly earmarked for themselves actually bearing fruit is very real and will in years to come, be reflected in commodity pricing from such regions.
The Chinese are very shrewd.

China will be the largest economy in the world in 5 years, double the size of the USA in 15.

The Chinese are one of only 2 nations in the world with a 30 year plan (the other being Singapore), and watching the rate of their progress it shows.

Not quite true, the UK also has cobbled together a rough plan though it is so effective it may not take us 30 years.

Basically it is for all of us to purchase consumer goods and tat from China on such a large scale that it will put us into so much debt with China that the repayments will be impossible to enforce, thus forcing their thriving economy to write us off as a tax loss.
