The amount of Chinese take-overs in Africa is absolutely crazy and will only increase in the future if African leaders will keep accepting loan after loan. Recently China took all fishing exclusive fishing rights in Somalia, they took over Entebbe Airport in Uganda a month ago.
In South Africa China took over almost all of its power plants and recently the nation took all farming rights of five African countries. The colonization of Africa is taking place in full force. A very scary development, which will only benefit the Chinese in the long term.
Africans are now getting roads, railroads and hospitals. But what rights will they loose in trade for this?
