Africanscomplain about China's record of not hiring locals, instead bringing in Chinese nationals for virtually all labor and management positions.
In other cases, Chinese firms have reportedly mistreated African workers and paid them what have been described as slave wages..
Some Chinese projects have been documented as having detrimental environmental impacts.
