The Acting Chinese Ambassador to Rwanda, His Excellency Wang Xinm.Li, recently said that no one will stop China’s engagement in Africa’s economic and political fields. He hastened to add that; society can never expect “no noise” from other causes of the world when China starts to sprout. These were very strong statements and pregnant in content. However, the recent involvement of China in different areas of development among various African countries, including Rwanda, is a clear manifestation of a nation seeking to extend her economic powers beyond geographical boundaries; typical of a country with a high impulse to power. China has moved away from being perceived as a highly populated country with high birth rates, to deeply getting involved into economic, political, social and cultural ties with Rwanda and other African nations. Any country’s economic power depends on her human and economic resources coupled with the technical capacity and beliefs to develop them. China has been criticised by UN for its influence in blocking the deployment of a United Nations and African Union peacekeeping force in Sudan. This love of power, in its widest sense, is the desire to produce effects upon the outer world; it’s an essential part of human nature which is very large and important in economic growth. With numerous projects China has funded in Africa in form of grants; their super-high way affordable technologies, China is indeed on the move.
