Africans across the continent, once grateful for Chinese investment in their lands, are now beginning to openly criticize the country’s role in cultivating natural resources, among other things.
“African governments appeared to have welcomed the Chinese presence and underlined its benefits, often compared to their negative experience with the Western and even the Soviet presence, occasionally termed ‘colonialism’ and ‘imperialism,’” writes professor of East Asian Studies at the University of Haifa, Yitzhak Shichor. “Not anymore.”
“We have a positive opinion of the Chinese because they aided the liberation movement in Africa,” wrote Libyan foreign minister Musa Kusa in the newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat last month. “We are also aware of the importance of China as a strong country contributing to international balance, but not at the expense of the people…”
Continues Musa Kusa:
When we look at the reality on the ground we find that there is something akin to a Chinese invasion of the African continent. This is something that brings to mind the effects that colonialism had on the African continent from the creation of settlements to the dispersal of African communities.
Therefore we advise our Chinese friends not to follow in this direction i.e. bringing thousands of Chinese workers to Africa under the pretext of employment, for at the same time as this Africa is suffering from unemployment. Therefore we invite the Chinese to contribute to solving the problem of unemployment in Africa. And so perhaps the Chinese can train the African workforce, thereby creating a labor market that could include thousands of African workers, rather than brining in Chinese workers who are provided with farms and homes in Africa, for this is something that we consider to be re-settlement.
Nigerian foreign minister, Bagudu Hirse, has also voiced his unhappiness with China for making an investment deal with Guinea’s repressive regime. “We accept what China is doing. And we welcome their investment. But they must understand that we are very sensitive to good governance and democracy,” he told the BBC.
“China has helped Africa build many schools, hospitals, and malaria prevention and treatment centers, which benefited more than 100 million African people,” Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said in an Egyptian press conference last November. “In fact, China’s assistance to Africa has never had any political strings attached. We believe the destiny of a country is in the hands of its people.”

The spearchuckers always welcome help in the beginning and then bite the hand that feeds them. Look at the Jews. They marched with Dr. King and now are called bageleaters, hooknoses and worse by the junglebunnies.
China wont care about human rights like the westerners, africans dont either (they sold the africans to whites four hundred years ago) as long as mr blackman and his family are ok screw the rest of the people, china is GOING and IN the process of sending 25,000,000 people to the continent in 5 years (atleast thats there plan) i would like to know how many of their farners will be murdered in africa
To put this in the right perspective they are sending more people (which really is a drop in the ocean) in five years than there have ever been europeans in africa for the past 400 years, they helped the africans liberate themselves throwing africa behind so they can come in and leverage the hard work of the portuguese, french and Boere lets hope they do the oppposite and instead of trying to convert them to what ever they believe in china, rather wipe them out of africa for good, the continent doesnt need people with black skins who rely on weather to dictate their survival!
I say good on the chinese hope they give these trash that are living on this continent what they deserve, and that is annihalation, but you guessed it the whitee liberal who was being hacked to death will be there with boats to save these turds!
F*** the idiot white liberal trash!!! oh and obama
My gawd these bloody Effricens are even bigger morons then I thought they were. If it wasn’t for Whitey with his missionary work during the good ol’ days this Bagudu Hirse and his ilk wouldn’t even have been able to read or write. Nor do they seem to know that blacks aren’t even welcome in great numbers in ‘utopian’ Commie China. That’s why the Chinese wish to live in their own compounds in foreign countries.
And that Bagudu Hirse and all ya other mud-people is now known as… “Apartheid”.
Got it???!!!
