China has spent nearly $100 billion in African projects over the
last decade – and Jane Goodall is
not impressed.
In an interview with Agence
France-Press published on Monday, the longtime animal rights activist who has
spent most of her life on the continent, compared Chinese investment with
old-school British colonialism.
“In Africa, China
is merely doing what the colonialists did. They want raw materials for their
economic growth, just as the colonialists were going into Africa and taking the
natural resources, leaving people poorer,” she told AFP in an interview in Johannesburg.
Between 2000 and 2011 China spent
more than $73 billion investing in natural resources, mines, oil wells and
other projects in Africa, according to statistics from Aid Data and the Center for Global Development, complied
by AFP in the map shown below.
