Hmm....what I've seen on China's impact "on the ground" in Africa (southern and eastern) has definitely not always been a good impact. Yes, China has built infrastructure etc., but at what cost? China taking over of airports, harbors, etc. in many countries is alarming. How much i.e. illegal wildlife trafficking, mineral trafficking etc. goes through them now? A lot, I'm sure. In many cases it has seemed more like neo-colonialism what China is doing in Africa, than honest business/economic development. A sad truth, but true nevertheless.
