It's a $200 million building, the tallest in the Ethiopian capital and the new headquarters of the African Union. It also happens to be entirely the work of China.

Nobody has monopoly on development like Europe wants the world to believe so badly. Right now Greece by virtue of its impossible debt is poorer than most African countries. And Italy and Portugal and Spain are not too far behind. Kenya is what it is because those Westerners used to make a fortune off of the blood, sweat and tears of Africans. Now Kenyans learned that the Chinese are better trading partners and look whats happening to UK and others? loss of cheap supplies that Kenya supplied
skwuim Says:
I like how you say that. Yet the only reason why your Kenya is somewhat more successful than the average African country is all because of western influence. On the whole however, Africa is the least developed continent of all continents. China is also indeed successful only because of western influence. Indeed, China is already a western country except for its current corrupt government which will not last another 20 years until the chinese people get rid of it, just as they did in middle east.
MenengaiCrater Says:
skwuim haha its not self sufficient? how come now that Africa turned to the Chinese the economy of Europe is in tatters? How come that most powerful lady was trying to poison the r/ship of Africa and China saying that China is colonizing Africa? haha Europe needs to beg Africa to reestablish ties or else Europe will be a basket case before 2015.
skwuim Says:
Africa is not self-sufficient because it is a backward ignorant continent that one hardly can call human. It is obviously dependent on western countries or else it would collapse. The fact that Africa "needs" other countries is itself pathetic. I wouldn't say that China is a good example either, given that it values are one of the worst on Earth as human-rights doesn't seem to apply there-

china gives a building. and the U.S. hates it, and it'll be bombed by the U.S.. that's the difference.
mymarkis666 Says:
@efex2007 And the American government does?
mymarkis666 Says:
Finally an Africa free of rape by white people.
mymarkis666 Says:

bert boo Says:

AlternateArtisan Says:
maybe, but at least china doesn't invade and depose those dictators in the name of 'democracy' when they stop listening to them.
pinoyinvegas Says:
The chinese communist are busy stealing island while african are taking over china...lol
efex2007 Says:
No, because china doesn't care about the environment, nor workers' health. i bet soon they will be sponsoring any african corrupt dictator who gives them what they want (that is, africa served on a plate). this is business, i think they shouldnt be waiting for a helping hand.
hongyaohome Says:
colonization and exploitation, that was how the west "helped" Africa for centuries, and I'd say china went way less than that
NatedogJr Says:
00000Talon (Youtube user) claims to found a "cure for HIV/AIDS". Also diabetes and STD's. He said to "build your immune system to super cell status, and detox your body. You also need to fill your body with Major minerals and Oxygen bubbles." I had a conversion with him saying it is to good to be true, but he says HIV/AIDS is not a serious condition since he found a cure. He said google "Jutrian Rx"
AlternateArtisan Says:
because china stays out of other countries' internal affairs and doesn't try to push 'democracy'

The whole world needs resources from Africa. Always has, always will. Especially for the superpowers. China achieves this by making deals with Africa, providing them with infrastructure & labourers. US & EU achieves this by military intervention and bombing campaigns which always leads to thousands of civilian deaths in Africa. But I guess when the man you chose to represent Africa's side is a white man with only European bloodlines, it's no surprise to hear him say "Africa still needs Europe".

Nothing is free!
sittingbull706 Says:
No, Europe has always needed Africa. Not the other way around. We can design our own cars & railroads thank you. Trade between China & other African nations has PROVEN to be a billion times more beneficial for Africa than "trade" between Africa & Europe. If you can even call it that.
TechnicolourTV Says:
They do respect their own people but it's the majority that matters. Think of the difference between Asian parenting and White parenting. Of course the Asian parent is much more strict but it does not mean they do not like their kid :P
efex2007 Says:
Why do you think the chinese could be fairer than the western countries? the chinese gov. doesn't respect their own people.
trvth1s Says:

kunivone Says:

trvth1s Says:
