    This is actually so funny. China isn't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, no. They're benefitting from this greatly.

    But they're not fucking the African countries over at every opportunity, putting their boots on their necks and bleeding them dry just because they can. They're just making mutually beneficial business deals, and westerners cannot wrap their heads around that.

    Once again, China isn't particularly good, Western countries are just so fundamentally rotten that China not trying to trick Africa into lifelong exploitation is completely unthinkable to them. China is powerful enough to put their boot on Africa's neck, so that has to be what they're doing, anything else doesn't make sense because it wouldn't maximize short-term profits. That's the capitalist mindset.
