FT: China announces $10bn more loans to Africa

This reinforces my hypothesis posted on this blog (towards the end of the article) two weeks ago:

China's recent resource grab over the last few years in Africa is basically covering for emerging market debt expansion denoted in Chinese Yuan. So Japan takes the debt market in Asia, China in Africa.

China now further buttresses its mid-to-long-term financial/currency, geopolitical and energy security with its Africa debt portfolio. More after the link.
