No country has ever benefited from going into Africa.
China has a lot of their people working in Africa, mainly in mining but also oil and agriculture. Instead of hiring locals, the send in their own people to work. They live in enclaves, like the Europeans used to do.
One result is that locals resent them.
And in some countries, local insurgents, mainly ISIS related but sometimes just tribal bullies, have attacked them.
So China has their military there to protect them.
Watch the Chinese film Wolf Warrior 2...which ends with the assurance that China will protect their citizens no matter where they live.
(Its a good film by the way in a Rambo type genre).
The article disses the UK for training Kenyan special forces.
The writer seems unaware that Kenya for many years has had a very good, professional military.
And the writer laments they hit terrorist without reading them their rights? Terrorists who have attacked Kenyan civilians?
