Download Are Chinese loans still a good deal for Africa?

Most countries around the world are in some kind of debt. Money is borrowed to invest in a prosperous future, where paying it back won’t be a problem.
In Africa, more and more of that investment is coming from China. It’s helped to build railways, airports and roads.
