China supports almost all Sub-Saharan African states (except those that do not accept China’s “One China” policy and continue, for example, to recognize Taiwan as an independent country). Indeed, China is no more interested in the continent’s natural resources than are firms from any developed country.
第一种观点认为，中国贸易和援助的战略目标，只针对具有丰富自然资源以及易受操纵的弱势国家。这种说法经不起推敲，因为中国几乎支持了撒哈拉以南所有的非洲国家（除了那些一直不接受“一个中国”政策并长期承认台湾独立的国家）。事实上，中国对非洲大陆自然资源的兴趣并不比任何发达国家企业更多。
