The Chinese People’s Republic of Africa

Posted by Matt in January 31st, 2007

Yesterday Chinese leader Hu Jintao set off on an epic tour of Africa, during which he will visit eight African countries in twelve days. It is expected that, in addition to signing trade agreements, Mr. Hu will lobby for the deployment of Chinese peacekeepers on the continent, particularly in war-torn Darfur, where Chinese state-owned oil monopolies have multibillion-dollar contracts. Unfortunately for the United States, the European Union, and Russia, Beijing’s open foray into Africa has the potential to seriously jeopardize their future in the region.

Beijing’s Overtures

Hu Jintao’s Africa tour will be the Chinese head of state’s most extensive visit to the continent since he came to power in 2003. Mr. Hu visited Africa on short trips to two countries each time in February 2004 and April of last year, but this time he is leaving nothing off the itinerary: in twelve days, the Chinese premier will visit Cameroon, Liberia, Sudan, Zambia, Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique, and the Seychelles. His visit comes on the heels of the “China – Africa” forum that took place in grand style in November 2006, when Beijing hosted delegations from 48 of the 53 countries in Africa, including 35 presidents. The list of invitees even included a few of the continent’s more odious leaders, such as Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir, both of whom have reputations in the West as bloody dictators. Undaunted, Beijing trotted out a delegation of the Party’s top leadership, with Hu Jintao at its head, for a pompous reception ceremony on Tiananmen Square. In addition, Mr. Hu has promised to furnish Africa with $5 billion in loans and credits by 2009, and Chinese state-owned companies have signed 16 contracts with African heads of state to the tune of $1.9 billion.

African China
The Evolution of African China Far from being the obvious, since launching himself into the mainstream music world about two years ago, Chinagoro, a.k.a African China, may have stood out as a dependable, yet emerging social crusader of great reckoning. With his name almost becoming a house-hold name in many homes across Africa, African China parades a talent, very prodigious and could be described as "rare and different from what Ojo would refer to above as 'playing the music of destructive values." While storming the music scene with an uncommon tempo, Chinagoro recreates with his craft, the images of reggae singers of yesteryears. With the unceremonious exit of the likes of Majek Fashek, Ras Kimono and The Mandators, all Nigeria's past leading reggae singers, Chinagoro's entrance into...

It seems that a lot of Africans are happy about the Chinese presence. Hopefully it will work out for the best, but the Chinese are already starting to loan money to various African countries, putting them in debt.

We’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out.
