President Paul Kagame is admired by the way China performs business in Africa and criticized West relations with the continent on support and aid. Chinese investment in African companies and infrastructure is helping Africa to develop as a country. Annual trade between China and Africa is worth more than $100 billion.

Chinese companies are active across Africa, however China have been criticized by few countries in the West who blame Beijing of failing to promote good authority. Many Chinese firms are state owned repeatedly offer major construction projects at costs, which Western companies cannot match. Beijing also operates a policy of non-hindrance in domestic affairs. This policy has permitted China to do business in areas of Africa including Sudan where Western firms are controlled by human rights concerns. Mr. Kagame has been established as one of the most dynamic leader in Africa. He mentioned in an interview that Chinese bring what Africa need such as investment and money for government and companies. China investment is in infrastructure and building roads however, he added saying involvement of European and American countries has not brought Africa forward. Western companies in a large extent have polluted Africa and they continue doing so. Dumping of nuclear waste in the Coast of Ivory and Somalia used as rubbish bin by European firms. Kagame said he would prefer Western world to invest rather than development encouragement, which would help Africa as an industrialized country and gaining equitable access to global markets.
