<p>Now, we say that China is only African. We save China. Because, I think that some of their products are not being bought much by the Europeans and Americans. Now, the Chinese are getting most of their raw materials, such as mineral resources, from Africa, And China is moving very fast because of their population and also the system of their government. They support their people. Most of them go to Africa to know what they can do to get what you have. So, they go to Africa to do something, and they receive something in return. I'm not against that, because Europeans, the English, and Americans, have come to Africa as well. But, today, Africa is growing because the Chinese are coming to African markets. They see what they need, they take what they need and, in return, they give Africa what it needs. So, I believe that even in 20 or 40 years, China will still be dealing with Africa, because only Africa can save China. And that is why I am fighting for our relationship to become even better.</p>
