    Thinking that China is a net good for the world isn’t the same as thinking China is a perfect socialist utopia, and your attempt to conflate those two is insanely disingenuous

    When Western governments/companies do business in Africa, they do so knowing that they have the IMF and the World Bank behind them to pressure those countries into accepting their terms. China literally just doesn’t have that leverage, they couldn’t be “imperialist” even if they wanted to
