    China’s “tactics” have been to provide education, jobs, opportunities, infrastructure and an increased standard of living. It’s the West whose tactics are to indiscriminately bomb and terrorize civilians, destroy infrastructure and starve out populations.

      Yes China’s tactics in Africa are commendable in that regard. I do think it’s still pretty “colonial”, but the local population seems to welcom them. I’m not an expert though, so excuse if I’m wrong about that.

      Historically though, China has done some pretty bad things too. No indiscriminate bombing, as far as I remember, but “terrorize civilians, destroy infrastructure and starve out populations”, yes. I’d say most countries have done all of those though.
