Actually China is the reason I believe Africa has a real chance of success in the future. China knows how to develop, and it needs a market, and a strong African economy to continue fuel China's growth. You can be all hippie about how to make the world better, but in the end, it is just sweat and tears. And China knows it.

- yarg 7y agoI don't believe that they do represent a human rights standard. They've spent decades eroding their education system, they're increasingly moving towards the privatisation of state assets and services and their media largely consists of a great propaganda machine.
- newsgremlin 7y agoNo non-African country can claim they will bring Africa into the modern world without vested interests. The best result for Africa is if they can achieve some general stability across the continent without puppet governments backed by foreign governments that will sell themselves short. Saying choose your master doesn't resonate well with the freedoms we cherish.
