They are? Where? Besides China itself. Most poor countries today are not so because of bad government.

Nigeria is a good example of an African country prospering under Chinese hegemon. China has invested about 170 billion in Africa, which investment tends to be accompanied by large numbers of Chinese managers.

My sources (http://bit.ly/2x1JOov ) tell me investment to date sums up to $27b, with $40b more pledged, but not done yet. I’d like to see your sources. And how much is Nigeria prospering exactly?

Seems to me since China started investing abroad around 2012, Nigerian growth rates haven’t expanded at all. Looking at the graph it seems to me GDP growth is being outpaced by population growth.

My recollection, for which I can provide no sources, is that Chinese hegemony over Nigeria goes back a long way, and recent events are China replicating the Nigeria strategy on a larger scale over a broader area.

I’ve known you to exaggerate but “Chinese hegemony over Nigeria” sets a new record, my dear sir. They would be so lucky. But no.
