China's presence in Chad--China, Filling a Void, Drills for Riches in Chad

New York Times features an article about China's active involvement in helping Chad for the road to development. Chad, gaining the independence from France only in 1960, and being one of the poorest country in Africa welcomes the help.

To help make that happen, China plans to build the country’s first oil refinery, lay new roads, provide irrigation and erect a mobile telephone network, for starters.
With such intensive efforts across the continent, China’s trade with Africa topped $55 billion in 2006, up from less than $10 million in the 1980s.

Still, major doubts hang heavily in the air. Will China’s hunger for raw materials enable this continent to take off? Or will Beijing’s willingness to spend whatever it needs in Africa, without regard to fiscal prudence, democracy, honest business practices and human rights, produce a replay of booms past, enriching local elites but leaving the continent poorer, its environment despoiled and its natural resources depleted?

Chinese officials almost invariably describe their relationship with African countries as a win-win — based on mutual respect, aimed at joint prosperity and free of the overtones of exploitation and paternalism that critics worldwide say have governed much of the West’s postcolonial relationship with Africa.

But as to the effect of this proposed win-win aspect, I am quite doubtful knowing both Chad and China are countries with a reputation of corruption. What do you think?
