This method uses big investments and infrastructure development in exchange for access to valuable resources.

Often focusing on non-renewable resources like minerals and oil, this strategy secures China's resource needs while providing economic benefits to partner countries.

However, concerns come up regarding the sustainability and long-term impacts of this resource exploitation strategy.

Renewable Resources are a type of resource that is relatively quickly renewed after exploitation and Non-Renewable Resources take a longer time to renew and usually this takes to long to be renewed so it can and will run out therefore its non-renewable.

An example of a renewable resource is Water, because the water cycle to get "new" water goes by very quickly.

An example for a non-renewable resource is something like oil because it takes hundreds of thousands of years to be formed.

Solidifying means the process where magma, the molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, cools down and turns into a solid. This cooling can happen in 2 different ways: Either slowly under the Earth's surface or very quickly when reaching the surface, resulting in 2 different rocks.

Crystallization, on the other hand, is the process within solidification where minerals within the magma begin to form into different patterns, creating crystals.

These crystals vary in size and shape depending on different factors, such as temperature, and/or pressure.

To sum it up, solidifying is the transition from liquid to solid, while crystallization is the formation of crystals within that solid. Both processes are crucial in creating the various rock types we all know and love.

This means big pieces of land are bought or leased by investors from other countries. They might use it for farming, mining, or building.

Some say it boosts the economy and creates jobs, but others worry it can harm local communities by displacing people, damaging the environment, and affecting food supplies.

It's a complicated issue involving questions of fairness, superiority, and how to develop sustainably.

This happens because often, instead of these resources bringing wealth to the community, they lead to problems like corruption, inequality, and conflict. For example, corrupt officials might take profits, leaving little for the local people.

Also, when a region's economy relies too much on one resource, it can make other industries suffer, leading to fewer job opportunities for locals. This leaves most of the population without the advantages they should have from their own resources.

Fragile states are nations marked by internal conflicts, widespread poverty, and ineffective goverments. These states struggle to provide basic services and maintain stability. Strong internal tensions, weak defenses and economic problems contribute to their vunerablility, making them unprotected to extra problems and external influence.

In the early 1900s, companies started looking for oil in Nigeria. The British-Dutch company Shell began exploring for oil in the 1930s. After World War II, Shell found a large oil field called Oloibiri in the Niger Delta. This discovery marked the start of Nigeria's journey as a country with a lot of oil, even after it became independent in 1960.

After World War II, the desire for independence grew in Angola. The country gained independence in 1975, but this was followed by years of civil wars and unrest, lasting until 2002. The main reasons for these conflicts were corruption among the elites and the unequal sharing of wealth from the country's resource exports, which hindered Angola's economic growth. Today, 36% of the population still lives in poverty, and the GDP per capita is about $6,800.

Most people in Angola live on the west coast near the capital, Luanda. The country's natural resources are mostly found along the coast and in the northeast.

However, under Leopold's rule, Belgian Congo faced a lot of oppression. There was significant inequality between black and white people, heavy religious influence, and negative impacts from powerful companies. The colonizers also drew the Congo's political boundaries during the Scramble for Africa, merging many different tribal groups into a single state, leading to numerous internal conflicts.

In the 1960s, Belgian Congo faced a crisis as tensions between the local population and Belgian colonists grew. After several conflicts, Belgian Congo gained independence. Since then, the country's name and leadership have changed multiple times. In January 2019, Tshisekedi, an opposition leader, won the presidential election and became the new president.
