imagine having a continent all to yourself with access to vast untold riches: gold, diamonds, the best farmland on the planet, iron mines, easy access to the orient and europe, clean water, plentiful jungle (wood, wildlife), a perfect set up to operate as a trading hub for the developing world, i could just go on and on, and these people haven't figured out how to grow vegetables yet.

    But we're told it's much better than colonialism because the Chinese don't look down on African leaders like the Europeans do. The Chinese don't tell them they have to end slavery, FGM or tell them they can't bribe officials or steal all their countries' money.
