When we visited South Africa, locals made a point of showing the Chinese fishing vessels that had mechanical troubles and were forced to dock in Cape Town. The locals refused to service them, and the anglers lived on their boats in drydock. This is well known throughout the world, but my suspicion is that governments receive enough Chinese investment (personal or otherwise) that they turn the other cheek. SA in particular had whole quarters of industrial areas that had only Chinese signage, and were wholly owned by China / Chinese businesses.
