It was 599 years ago that Admiral Zheng - in a show of Chinese power -
sailed down the east coast of Africa. The year was 1414, and he took
home with him - a giraffe. Today, China is more interested in oil and
gas off the cost of Mozambique and Tanzania, and it has been welcomed
with open arms, as it lavishes it wealth across the continent. Can there
be partnership without plundering? Is China a new colonial power, or
just misunderstood?
