states instict. chinese president xi jinping has just announced that his country is to provide sixty billion dollars in financial support to africa and expand its imports from the continent especially when it comes to non resources products well the move comes in the wake of growing concerns from economists that by building costly infrastructure on the continent it's also saddling it with debts african leaders accounting meeting with the chinese government at the forum on china africa cooperation in beijing. african leaders have high hopes for what chinese investment can do for their countries beijing's presence in the region has grown exponentially since its emergence as a global trading power now africa has become a cornerstone in beijing's global belt and road project in sierra leone for example president julius mudder b o c s china's thirst for investment as a way for his country to catch the wave of globalization. and there are so many

benefits to globalization so force we want to be a part of the world community but the large investments which chinese state owned companies have pursued so aggressively in africa have not been an exercise in philanthropy africa's vast resources have helped fuel china's economic transformation still below rejects the accusation by some western countries that china is exploiting africa we are not fools enough we know where we want to take our point in various countries to we evolve in a relationship that is designed to be it when we need relationship if we do not think it was so we wouldn't be involved in that so i don't subscribe to that i know here i want to technical entry. some african countries have become heavily dependent on chinese financing and a recent study by the center for global development a u.s. think tank has raised serious concerns about the sustainability of sovereign debt

point one billion dollars and which i was trying to six point one billion dollars catherine i mean chinese policymakers clearly see the african continent as one of its main supplies for natural resources it doesn't see anything but you all not does it have any big plans for that partnership. or during his keynote speech chinese president xi jinping did talk about deepening relations in terms of areas like climate change and health as you can recall during the outbreak china did play a pivotal role in west in west africa but also then looking at starting a peace and security body within the continent and we already seeing chinese peacekeepers very active in countries like south sudan and mali and catherine is there anything that germany can learn from china's relationship with africa.
1:26 pm
well other than the fact that you know africa union chair commission chair fuck you said that china in africa does centuries of history and as well as you know fighting the imperial fighting imperialism china does offer no strings attached in terms of politics when it comes to giving these loans so these countries that take up these loans don't necessarily have to be accountable and they will not interfere in the in the internal affairs of african countries some people argue that these african governments do not have checks and balances when we have rampant and runaway corruption in the continent but no strings attached is basically what makes china so attractive noninterference policy so not interference policy that from china looking at this partnership over time would have been the main benefit for african nations. well those who say that we have seen a lot of development in africa since the you know the relationship began but then
