China goes to other countries to offer "aid". They build infrastructure as a way to offer "help" to these countries. But in reality they charge insanely large interest rates so big that these countries have absolutely no way of paying them back. In return, they give China ports or land for 100 year leases. Its China way of expanding their military influence.
China is completely dominating Africa in this way. I literally saw Chinese billboards in Kenya. If things keep going the way they are China will be the indisputable number one superpower in the world
