well other than the fact that you know africa union chair commission chair said that china in africa's centuries of history and as well as you know fighting the imperial fighting imperialism china does offer no strings attached in terms of politics when it comes to giving these loans so these countries that take up these loans don't necessarily have to be accountable and they will not interfere in the in the internal affairs of african countries some people argue that then these african governments do not have checks and balances when we have rampant and runaway corruption in the continent but no strings attached is basically what makes china so attractive noninterference policy so no interference policy there from china looking at this partnership over time what have been the main benefits for african nations. well those who say that we have seen a lot of development in africa since the you know the relationship began but then those who say that it's not necessarily a win win relationship as they like to put it if you look at kenya for example the amount of imports that we import from
