Colonial Missions To Africa: A Case Study of China's Secret Mission And New Policy In Africa

Abstract

The 19th and 20th centuries have been for European missions to Africa. The main goal of the European missions to Africa was to civilize and exploit the Africans in their own territories because they needed the resources of Africa. This paper demonstrates that the 21st century is also a century for China to invade and re-colonize Africa through a new policy of loans, aid, assistance, technology, cultural exchange and the signing of colonial pacts such as the secret socio-economic and political treaties. Through a historical perspective based on the comparison, the study reveals that China has the same purposes and intentions as the Europeans when coming to Africa because China is not a friend of Africa. China does not love Africa, but its secret mission is to corrupt African leaders through loans and grants by bringing little assistance in order to rob Africa's raw materials and take over the land.
