Is Africa really poor? Why are many people from China impressed by going to Africa?

Poverty in Africa lies in the backward infrastructure and the extreme lack of public facilities. For Africans, there is a big gap between the rich and the poor, the poor are very, very poor, and the rich are also very rich. China people go to Africa mostly for gold, and the places where they can make money will not be too bad.

In the recent wave of world development, Africa has been left out for various reasons. Without taking the lead, Africa is far behind most other regions in the world. In the history and culture of Africa for thousands of years, it has been in a backward state, and repeated failures have made them almost unable to see the hope of rising. Bad weather, barren land and its own problems make it difficult for Africa to develop, and people live a very bitter life.

Of course, not all parts of Africa are poor. Due to geographical limitations, poor places in Africa are mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Due to the influence of culture and living habits, Africans in these areas are full of laziness in their bones, preferring to chew bark rather than farm, and agriculture cannot develop, resulting in most Africans thinking about how not to starve to death all their lives, thus the overall cultural level is low, resulting in a vicious circle. Without assistance, the whole region cannot develop.

However, North Africa is close to Europe, the center of modern civilization, which makes their thoughts more open and their development relatively good. The people's living standards here are not low, but there are still gaps in some infrastructure. For the rich in Africa, they are basically influenced by European culture, and they also play capitalism smoothly, resulting in a huge gap between the rich and the poor, but the rich in Africa will always only see the immediate interests, so development is impossible and poverty is sustainable.
