With ever growing trade between China and Africa (an increase of 30% in the last decade), it is impossible to deny the change that the Asian giant has brought upon the economically marginalized continent. Chinese contractors are investing and building roads, dams, stadiums, hospitals and schools all across Africa.
Nevertheless, critics complain that China is playing unfairly: paying low wages, ignoring safety standards and dealing through ambiguous diplomacy.
Should Africa embrace Chinese presence as an alternative to inefficient foreign aid or should the continent be wary of what some have labelled as 'neocolonialism'?
Come armed with brilliant arguments-and all interested friends-this Thursday at 7pm.
Sincerely,
The MASS Exec"
