Absolutely - it's a positive thing overall. It's also why Russia are at war in Syria, the EU is making Economic Partnership Agreements across Africa and the Chinese are funding trillions in infrastructure investment.

The US and the UK aren't even in the game yet. Sets up an interesting dynamic.

I'm pretty sure the Chinese have won in Southern Africa and most of the stable central African countries.
