Is Africa being exploited?
Is Africa being exploited? Maybe. Will it benefit from this exploitation? Maybe. It depends on the Africans. China was being exploited a century ago. How much that experience has been fueling the current drive, perhaps no one could know for sure, but I suspect it did, A lot. I always believe that the geography determines the major character of the nation, in general north is by far more industrialized than the south, and humans are not created equal.
Talking about north vs south, there are some exceptions recently, like Guangdong of China and Bavaria of Germany, due to particular circumstances, those two southern regions have been out performing the rest of the country.
