In this study, we show that the reinforcement of the positions of China and of the USA in Africa has essentially been motivated by a desire for increased access to Africa's natural resources. We explain that firstly, the positive impact of the Chinese presence to African development will be limited in the long term because of the profound conflict of interest between both parties linked with their surplus manpower. Secondly, dealing with Africa uniquely from the perspective of the market or from the standpoint of charity is never enough to promote African development. The logic of "learn to fish" consists in encouraging FDI from emergent countries in particular in order to increase Africa's production ability. Finally, we propose the application of a principle according to which the countries that benefit more from Africa's natural resources should import more African manufacturing and agricultural products.
