This last bit comes up in way too many of my conversations. Even ostensibly anti-imperialist decolonial types will throw in the idea that China is can only be acting in Africa because they are benefitting from it, so it isn't a positive development. Even the fact that African partners are getting genuinely important things out of these arrangements doesn't make the material difference between Chinese diplomacy and imperial extraction clear.
