Chinese loans to Africa (Tiya Caldwell)

Summary:  This article is about China giving loans to African countries in order  to help in their development. The article states that there will be a summit held by China's President with some of Africa's leaders to discuss funding of 60 billion dollars in support of infrastructure.  The author cause it a dept trap because it will need to be paid back to China.

Analysis: This artical was made by Grant T. Harris on August 30. He goes quite in depth about the numerous outcomes that America will face if the summit is a success. He takes about the job losses that will occur because China will then become in the center of global economy. Since imperialism, the world has discovered all parts of the worls big and small.  In my opinion, I feel as though everyone neglected Africa after its resources were taken. It was stripped of all its worth and left out to dry up. America has contributed to the development 9f Africa and has been recognized for its efforts even though we are in dept. China is the cause of this because they are cheap in labor and time. I feel that the government should focus on our benefits as a country and pay off its depts in order to thrive.
