[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Arwa: [qb] meanwhile, [URL=http://www.guardian.co.uk/china/story/0,,1939443,00.html]Africa gets a good deal from China[/URL] Despite the negative tone of your article (Beijing's race for Africa, November 1), I think China's economic involvement in Africa is a good thing. Unlike the European countries which came to dominate, rule and plunder Africa's resources, China is there purely on business terms. African countries have the opportunity of dealing with China as equal trading partners, extracting the best deal possible for their countries. This opportunity has been impossible in the past because Africa's economic relationship with the west has always been that of master and servant. [b]China is doing what no western nation has ever done - building infrastructure and giving development loans to Africa without the killer conditions usually attached to western aid that have ruined and restricted the economic growth of the continent while increasing the west's economic dominance in the world. Paul Wolfowitz's concern about human rights stinks of hypocrisy. The west has propped up brutal dictators. A good example is the CIA-Belgian installation of Mobutu Sese Seko, Africa's most kleptocratic ruler to date.[/b] Ndy Okezue London [/qb][/QUOTE]However, as much as I disdain China's policies I must admit that Africa should take whatever gains and benefits it could get from China, and that indeed the Chinese help seems to be a hell of alot more sufficient and efficient than that from the West. All I say is that Africa must be cautious. [/QB][/QUOTE]
