- vezycash 11y agoIt's beyond that. I read about the origin of the world "third world countries." It so happened that the original meaning wasn't "poor countries" but countries that did not align themselves to the two great powers at the time. First world were the NATO group while the second world were the rusians and their alies... See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World Africa is growing economically, and I think China sees Africa as an economic insurance. E.g there are people in the US who want US to block imports from China. Additionally, I think they want to take over the role of US as the guardian so to say. It's a step towards making their own currency the dominant international currency instead of the US dollar.
