What's the specifics on that though? China hasn't been on some colonial BS like Europe was. I really could be wrong about this, but it seems like African countries just signed back deals. At some point, Africa can't blame other countries for exploitation. They have leverage to get better deals from foreign nations. They just don't use it, in part because they spend so much time fighting each other.

Thanks for the vid. This doesn't seem to back your statement though. Based on this video, China has invested in and helped countries in Africa. I'm not saying that the partnership between China and those countries is equal. It's not. China is benefitting much more from the relationships than any of the African countries. I don't see where they are doing anything wrong though. They are supposed to try and get the better end of the deal. That's the whole point. The video said Africa is becoming China's China. That's an apt analogy. China was being exploited by Western powers until they got their shit together and learned how to use those relationships to their benefit. The African countries can do the same thing.
