"But I knew it was a cover for a much more sinister plan,when will folks WAKE UP TO China's real INTENTIONS !" Do tell! What are China's real intentions? Sorry, YouTube propaganda isn't good enough to make your point. Try a little harder. What, precisely are you objecting to in China's policy toward Africa? Can you give an example of intentions toward Africa that are not sinister? What of Africa's intentions toward itself, do you know what they are and how they plan to achieve them? You could start with Ethiopia for example. Read this article and try to tell me that Africans living under the yoke of French financial domination are "free". roape.net/2017/05/18/cfa-franc-french-monetary-imperialism-africa/ Well, i don't have to explain any thing to you,I've been aware of China & political ambitions since the little Red Book was made available in the west in the 60's..so I know what my concerns are & have been over the past years.... this is nothing new to me about China both as a ancient civilization & as China reemerges as a Mega Power & her ambitions to regain her position in the 21century...it's not a ether or concerning the West or China but a Both And...propaganda can be seen as anything one reads or sees via You-Tube or anything else..it's all propaganda !!! I'm not trapped in a binary about the West Vs China & it's so called non interference policies which I've known was a cover..for her greater ambitions,don't get it twisted !!! China & the West are really two sides of the same coin...which is POWER, WEALTH, & DOMINATION !!! Power, Wealth, & Domination have been the intentions of every nation with an elite that aspires to not be the victims of another such group. You might benefit from reading "The Melian Dialogue (https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/melian.htm)" written in 416 B.C. I mistakenly thought you had some new insights in the China-Africa debate. I was wrong, carry on.

@ Djokser, as with any relationship there are bound to be misunderstanding and growing pains,you indicated in this and other threads that there is a certain amount of anti-Chinese bias here, I personally think not, I think you are mixing up legitimate concerns with bias, I think most here want the relationship to work, and because perception is a big part of what can make or brake a relationship, what is the road that need to be taken, the behavior of some Chinese folks in Africa is beginning to annoy the locals especially in smaller economies and less population density, example Nigeria could careless about how many Chinese are in their nation, as Nigeria is..well full of Nigerians, 10,000 or even 100,000 is like a drop in the bucket, Nations like Zambia on the hand looking at a relatively large influx of Chinese folks ,some of whom are not specialist or professionals, directly competing with the poorest of the poor add to that negative perception, and I know many Chinese on the ground maybe frustrated by local individuals they have to contend with, the same is true for Africans living in China.
How can that negative perception be over come, one I think learning the local language is key even if English is one of the official language, All the Africans I've met who did business in China are Chinese speakers, try and actually hangout with the locals,stop being strangers in a strange land.
