China has been a contraversal country as of late. One of the most controversial incidents involved China making poisonous toys/toothpaste, etc. Understandably, many people were outraged that the Chinese were putting dangerous products on the market. Apparently, China is investing large sums of money in Africa and doing other things such as forgiving debt. I'm not entirely sure how this is a bad thing but apparently several countries are concern over China's neo colonialism. I really don't agree with the tone and view of the article. They made it seem like forgiveness is a bad thing. Especially debt forgiveness, which I can attest that it the nicest thing anyone can do for anyone else! These African countries are poor enough as it is and a little money goes a long way regardless of what the ulterior motives are (as long as they're not evil). With first world nations such as the US spending trillions of dollars on their military, the author of this article has no right to paint China in such a negative image. But seriously, you shouldn't be putting toys (lead paint or not) in your mouth or swallowingtoothpaste. And no, I'm not Chinese.
