I watched Empire of Dust, documentary on Chinese colonialism in Africa, awhile ago, source of "it's all so tiresome" meme. Not as one-sided as one might think...
One youtube commenter astutely pointed out Chinese boss is pretty incompetent if he's trying to calculate the volume his trucks can carry in the middle of picking up a load.

Equally hilarious is Chinese boss spending all day haggling over chickens. Asian cultures are penny wise and pound foolish as they strive for precision. A bit of imagination and valuing time over money gets Europeans ahead.

In conclusion, the Chinese in the documentary are more competent than their African employees but still don't inspire much confidence as an aspiring world power.
