Is China the new imperial power in Africa, or a partner with which Africa can advance its developmental interests? This is a question that 2014 Tutu Fellow Isaac Fokuo examines in an essay for African Business. The dominant narrative in Sino-African relations is that China's interest in Africa is confined to natural resources. Fokuo goes further.

A colleague, with a long career in Tanzania’s public education system as a teacher and school inspector under his belt, visited a school in a rural district to check on whether the teachers were present at school and teaching in the classroom. When he walked into a Standard Two class, he found about 50 eight-year olds sitting there, unsupervised and untaught. They did not know where their teacher was. He went to investigate and the head teacher could not explain the teacher’s absence either.
A few minutes later, my colleague returned to the class, to find the children in fits of laughter. Their teacher, sporting shoeless, muddy feet and looking rather sheepish, had returned and was standing at the front of the classroom.
