Why Is China Building Africa?

China is all over Africa these days, building railroads, bridges, and ports, doing what European colonialists should have done long-time ago. Why?

On the surface, the answer is that China is investing in Africa to place the continent on the global map, help African countries develop a sound infrastructure. That’s what these countries need to sustain economic growth and join the global economy.Below the surface, the answer is different. China is investing in Africa to gain political and diplomatic influence, as has been the case in Southeast Asia.
