Reply to comment by brendonmilligan in Megalopolis: how coastal west Africa will shape the coming century. by filosoful

The return on investment is having those African nations allied with itself. Simply having them as allies and aiding them to become even more valuable trading partners is the return. Overall china has no incentive to exploit Africa simply because they are not beholden to profit driven corps.
