I don't trust anything China is doing in Africa. They attempting to recolonize Africa. If African countries are smart then they will remove any incompetent morally corrupt leaders and kick China out as soon as possible!

Debtor Emeritus showing fake concern for African Countries debt.
If you are so concerned the right to do is forgive African Countries or champion the reduction of African Countries in G7 or G20.

Japan talking about debt is like a fat nurse giving health advice.

Africa does need a voice in the world arena, for sure. I’d like to see a ‘United’ African voice, as united as it can get.

Lies, lies. Statement should read Japan wants ti help increase the debt of african countries with ultra expensive infrastructure projects.
The truth is Japan never bothered about the african market that it was not worth wasting time on. Till date most japanese think africa is so far.
The chinese have made inroads into africa and it is paying off and japan is late as the train has taken off.
Hypocrites, if they are so concerned about african debt, a first start is help eradicate corruption, most of the infrastructure loans end up in foreign bank accounts of government official yet nothing has been done. Afterall who cares if some of the money in some individuals foreign bank account so far we get the contract.

Truth be told , most African countries owe more to the Breton Woods and Co than to China. There's absolutely no comparison of the achievement by Africans with the cooperation of China in the last 20yrs compared to ANYONE else before.
I'd place much of these accusations on propaganda and the heavier sins by the inept, corrupt leadership of African countries. If one asks for a loan for a good cause and is awarded in good faith then squanders the funds, you don't blame the lender.
And, whoever told Africans that foreigners are their saviors? Until when will they be running in foreign capitals bowl in hand? Germany, Japan, S.Korea etc were once recipients of aid but within a generation they themselves became lenders, what's wrong with Africans?
I find it equally disturbing that these " lenders " seem happy to keep this racket going and not ask serious questions, I know I would, and if necessary I'd put my foot hard on someone's back side. This months end, again, like nursery school toddlers, they'll be running for treats at the beckon of a " school master" , No graduation.

Western aid usually comes with strings attached and dabbling in politics.
I found the Ghanian President Akufo Addo very eloquent in his speech at the U.N. while reading up on this topic.

If we really want to help the African continent the globalists of this world should acquit their debt with the IMF and give back their concessions so they can harvest their natural resources themselves and keep the profit.
But unfortunately we all know that is not going to happen anytime soon.

And China's or Russian's aid doesn't?

Even the "The Guardian" news and Hillary Clinton questions whether China's investment in Africa is a "win-win development" or "new colonialism".
