I do not agree with george's comment that China's exchanges with Africa will be a boon for Africa. It will mostly help China. China will get Africa's natural resources and access to Africa's markets. She will provide loans, which only help corrupt governments and will probably be squandered for Presidential palaces. African countries have little chance of penetrating the Chinese market, while China penetrates theirs.

I think the exchange probably hurts Africa a bit more than it helps.
