China doesn’t put money into “vanity initiatives” in Africa and is helping the continent build its infrastructure, President Xi Jinping has said. <\/p>\n

He pledged an extra $60bn (\u00a342bn) for the continent’s building, as he opened a summit with African leaders in Beijing to boost relations. <\/p>\n

China is the single biggest bilateral financier of infrastructure in Africa. <\/p>\n

However critics warn that African nations have been going into unsustainable levels of debt with the Asian giant. <\/p>\n

Mr Xi admitted there was a need to look on the industrial viability of a few initiatives and make co-operation more practicable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The $60bn pledge is over and above the $60bn China presented to Africa at the same summit in 2015 in South Africa’s main city, Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Debt from China’s hobby-free loans, due by means of the tip of 2018, could be written off for a few negative African states, Mr Xi mentioned. <\/p>\n

China might also arrange a peace and security fund and would continue to supply free military help to the African Union, he added.<\/p>\n

China lent around $125bn to Africa among 2000 and 2016, in line with information compiled by way of the China-Africa Research Initiative at Washington’s Johns Hopkins College School of Complex World Studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
