Not "No Strings". China and India are competing for agricultural contracts in Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. These countries are not receiving "aid" from China. They are signing long term agricultural commodity supply agreements and the region is being set up as the breadbasket for China (1.4B) and India (1.2B) for the next 50 years. The road rail and ports projects, the dams and bridges and other infrastructure projects are investments required to get products to market.
China has been running around Africa for the last 20 years making deals where both parties win. The Caribbean, South and Central America are watching and they want in after generations of dealing with rape, rob and pillage American businesses which plundered their resources, enriched their despots and left their populations in abject poverty.
Think of it this way....China and America are both Tricks. The developing world is a bunch of Ho's.
One Trick likes beating Ho's up and biting them on the ass and shorting their money after the deed is done and the other one builds them a house, takes them grocery shopping and always pays in full, up front.
Which Trick have we been? The world is watching!
