China stripping all the resources at a fraction of the international price, raping the environment, hiring zero locals, and building roads and railways that go from some place useless to another place useless.

No, It's really not helping locals.

Yep, I forgot about the masses of Chinese workers currently there (e.g. Ghana). One can only hope rising Chinese standards and wages will eventually convince them to hire local instead.
