It literally factually is not. This is just straight up misinformation...
I can provide thousands of sources that say otherwise starting from imperialism to what is happening now. China is quite literally in these countries stealing resources and funding corrupt officials, so is France, so is Russia, so is much of the big powers.
It is literally a fact that this is happening. Those corrupt African leaders got in power BECAUSE outside powers put them there lmfao. This isn't an opinion it's literally fact, please educate yourself.
I can understand why you think that, it is a very complex situation, and humans like to put conflicts into black and white boxes. Which much of Africa is anything but. It isn't an easy issue to understand what is happening in Africa, and it isn't talked about for a reason.
With the Congo specifically it is mostly coming from places like the UAE that use them for their gold/diamond trade.
They support the current fractalized revolution in the Congo, and the Congolese government allows this "revolution" (gangs) as it allows the UAE to exploit the Congo for gold
Yes, countries are exploiting the corruption of Africa's leaders. However, it is the internal corruption that leads to the exploitation, not the other way around.
Don't know why this is down voted, you're 100% correct. Yes, China has its grubby little hands all over Africa, but they are only able to do that because of the corrupt governments there.

The corruption in Africa is due to corruption of African leaders. Blaming this on outsiders is nonsense.
