I'm not defending what China did, but Zimbabwe got screwed by the west. 1% of the whites there owned 70% of the land and they owned major industries like the financial sector. When Robert Mugabe decided to take land from the White people back to the blacks, the banks decided to screw him by printing an obscene amount of money. Also, US and Europe put an Embargo against Zimbabwe. What can Zimbabwe do? China and India are looking to expand in Africa and I guess this is one way that China is doing its part.
