It's perhaps a naive outlook but I've met a lot of Chinese workers in Africa through online video chat websites, and I'd say there's just a different logic to the development versus previous "development" when French/US interests were involved. Whether these are real differences or pragmatic decisions to dedollarize, or whether it matters at the end of the day versus in the history books, I can believe it's a minority sentiment there, even if it is a bit propagandist. You'd probably see similar rates in surveys of the US, for different reasons.
