I see investment in Africa as great but The Guardian trashes it.

Well, why don't you go down to your local pizza joint and say that you only want 50 cents per hour - guess that you may get a job

I can't tell if he's trolling or retarded.

It's difficult to troll if you aren't intelligent, so ...

I don't like the Chinese habit of importing Chinese workers to do all the work but at the end of the day the Chinese do build up a lot of infrastructure, they do pay taxes (not all of which are stole), plus the Chinese do good will stuff like dig wells and pave roads to villages. Plus it does create local jobs and the exports do earn foreign exchange which helps banks doing business in the country. Could it be better? Sure, the work could be done by locals instead of Chinese (and it should be) but let's not pretend it isn't helping to develop the country.

There's more to development than just economics. The Chinese don't say "boo" to the local governments regarding human rights. The local govs like it as they can continue abusing and the Chinese of course live in a glass house. Mutually beneficial.
