"Unlike with the Spratly Islands, Okinawa or Scarborough shoal, China doesn't need to occupy Africa militarily. As with other imperialist countries of the past, China knows that collaborators are the most efficient method of imperialism. China only needs to bribe Africa's corrupt leaders to get all the resources and land it needs.There are currently 6 Chinese colonies in Africa. They call them "Special Economic Zones". They are: Mauritius-JinFei; Nigeria-Ogun; Nigeria-Lekki; Zambia-Chambishi/Lusaka; Egypt-Suez; Ethiopia-Eastern.
China is proudly flaunting its $20bn of new loans to African countries. We've heard all this before and know that most of the money will end up in chinese and african dictators' pockets. Impoverished african nations will be fleeced over the next 30 years to service the debts incurred for expensive and shoddily built factories that were not needed in the first place. Roads will be built at exorbitant prices such as Sierre Leone's most expensive road in the world. This is the true face of China's poisoned embrace of Africa."

=========================
Mauritius is becoming the Singapore of Africa.
"Unlike China’s five other SEZs in Africa which offer the potential for extraction, production and manufacturing, it is intended that the Jinfei zone will eventually house the headquarters for Chinese investments in Africa. As more information surfaces, it appears that the main role of the zone will be to provide offices, hotels, apartments, recreational services, schools and medical facilities."

China is loaning Nigeria $500 million for the light rail project in Abuja. Of course, the contractor is China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), so Chinese companies benefit even if the loan isn't repaid.
