That's what just described, colonialism happens because of what I described.

I'm aware of their party's name, but I see modern day China (and russia) as capitalistic.

They exploit their own people and their neighbors and I don't see them uplifting anyone else. But at the end of the day my opinion doesn't matter, time will tell.

Africa is certainly due another golden age, and they have the resources for it to be sure, but global capitalism/colonialism has decimated the reigon and I don't know that it will ever stop, and even if it does the lasting affects will be beyond calculation.
