Nah, they have another objective... It's very hard for me explain it in English, but I will try.
China starts a massive founding in Africa and they have economical agreement with 53 African states (only South Africa is excluded) and it's part of the new silk road.
China gave without any problems money to the African states with a low interest rate (around 0) but they colonize and corrupt the African agricolture system. The biggest problem is that the Chinese population want eat different foods (Mao's time when the population was content with only rice are finished) so they start the agricultural policy of monoculture and buy African products at low price. Basically they destroy all African's chance to develope in agricolture and start a new colonization.
Welcome in the 2018, an amazing wold with too much geopolitical interests.
PS. (This is a simplification, I can't do more with my English :p)
