dont doubt henok if the african-chinese partnership will last, because where else can they get the supplies they need? asia does not anymore, and the eyewatch of the americans, africa is less problematic to china than asia, and that is why they are staying, so the question is, will africa be strong enough to negotiate tough with the chinese, or they will divert this privilege to corrupt paths?

China’s growing trade with African states is a good thing, for both. African states need foriegn capital and investments, and china needs Africa’s unexploited natural resources to supply the needs of its growing economy. Unlike the west china does not have a colonial history and legacy with Africa, that makes it a much attractive partner. May this partnership be long lasting.
