Do you really think China and the US are establishing themselves as economic and military powers all over Africa to help save people from all the wars, abuses, genocides and human rights violations? Is there much oil there? Try Google.
I don't think that China had ever claim that...they had indicated that they needed the resources and commodities for the rapid growth. They are paying big money for that. They West had colonised and plundered Africa for centuries, paying pittance and setting the stage for wanton corruption as well as blood thirsty ruling regimes. The West MSM scare mongering are going hyper again in their vain attempt to scuttle the legitimate growth and development of a third world country.
Canada is a first world nation with widespread literacy; a different tactic is employed here with a more modernised " puppet regime " under Harper, and of course there are other ways to get the Canadian oil without marching in with troops or resorting to gun boat diplomacy.
