Modern Imperialism: China In Africa
An example of modern imperialism that clearly sticks out is how the Chinese are in Africa. Over the past few years, China's exports from Africa have increased greatly. While most other countries exports from Africa have been slowly decreasing. China is now the biggest trading partner to Africa, clearly because of imperialism. The Chinese people have moved into Africa and started to live there. They have started new businesses such as schools, restaurants, and hotels. The African people have not been taking this very well and don't like what is happening to their country.
Other countries are also getting a little scared by what China is doing in Africa. Especially the US is feeling a little bit uncomfortable with what is going on. The US is worried that China's exports from Africa are growing really fast and China is making a lot of money out of it too. China has also started to try to help the development of Africa by putting in the schools and businesses but other countries get worried by this. African people are also not liking it because the Chinese have just come in and basically started taking over their land. They also might not want to change so much of how they are living but many things are changing because of China.
Africa has kind of started to crack down and put stricter rules on what China is doing. Africa is now starting to require the Chinese owners of companies such as the owners of mines and businesses to pay taxes and if they export the goods they get, they must turn in all the profits they have made to the bank. This is helping African people because before this was happening, the African people were starting to question what was happening with all of the natural resources being taken and also what was happening with the businesses and how they were taking all the resources and the money too.
