Europe never stopped colonizing Africa. Every accusation against China from the west is a confession of their own imperialist exploitation. (thelemmy.club)

Are they importing labor to Africa?

xi

They are brining in labor for infrastructure projects is my understanding. It seems to have dropped off quite a bit recently, likely due to labor increasing in Africa due to past Chinese assistance and development.

    Hope those imported labor also bring training to local population in a sustainable way

    That seems to be what the trend is indicating. I don't have any sources to back this up right now, but productive capacity in African states that have welcomed Chinese infrastructure projects likely would reflect this. I think the OP graph also indicates that the productive value generally is remaining in Africa as opposed to going to China.
