Rich Malawians give nothing to the poor people they live right next to, complaining about foreign aid. If Africans weren’t so exploitative of each other, foreign aid wouldn’t be needed.

An excellent article that goes right to the heart of the problems of dealing with the Chinese. The Chinese do not give economic ‘aid’ freely; there is always a quid pro quo that is to the benefit of the Chinese.

the problem is that, china’s goverment just want to give small money to poor countries to get support in UN, the china’s goverment can not really help MALAWIANS, as a chinese, i dont like it deeply. and the president go to china if the talk to goverment, he only can know how to control the army, media, people, and how to control all the contry’s resoures, but if president come to private companies, he will get really help for MALAWIANS, and can help two contrys people really love each other,😁

Countries which are assessed by international organisations as not suitable to acquire any more loans due to the high repayment as borrowing more will finish the economy ..such country LOOK east where muthatika just came bwck from on a chartered jet which cost $2509 an hour from take off in Lilongwe and landing back in Lilongwe every day.
