We always blame the Chinese to encourage corruption… But we better have a look at our selves!
What Chinese may be accused of is to have sky rocketted corruption (They can pay ridiculous amouts of money with more 0 than anyone else that’s for sure.) but not to be THE corrupter criminalizing Africa.

Granted the Chinese are just using the same routine as has been the case for years before. But they are doing it on a far larger scale in tying up the long term rights to the continents natural resources as opposed to the odd book deal or arms deal or whatever. The Chinese are taking it to the next level and they have watched and learned how the West did it. Now they are three to five chess moves ahead of their competition.
