Western aid pays for Africans to buy food from the Chinese and produce nothing for themselves, all the while their populations grow exponentially. When they have no money after the West cuts aid, hundreds of millions more mouths to feed and no local food production, are the Chinese going to be so charitable? I highly doubt it. It'll be the biggest population bomb of all time.
