Chinese Media: We Will Not Exploit Africa

Following Chinese Premier Ju Jintao’s African state tour, the Chinese media is hailing the trip and promising that

China is pursuing a mutually beneficial relationship with Africa, in contrast to the West’s colonial exploitation of the continent

It’s tough to take that at face value when cheap Chinese imports made with near slave labour has already put at a minimum 40 000 South African textile workers out of job.

Let’s be clear here. If China could they would strip mine Africa bare. Every country on this planet makes sure their own interests are taken care of first and in China’s case it’s interests are getting cheap resources so they can continue to produce cheap goods and then sell them back to us.
