The Chinese are not the best partner to have either. Often wages are not paid and they are abusive. The infrastructure is tofu-dreg - either not finished, non functional, or falling apart. They operate illegal mines and pollute the environment. So yes, the locals view the Chinese as just another predatory colonizing entity stripping them of their resources - which is what they are. Corruption on both ends is rampant and now these countries are caught up in debt traps they are unable to pay. Beijing then takes control of vital resources and infrastructure. So, what could possibly go wrong.
I have seen several videos of the Chinese being attacked by African locals.
I have seen those videos as well. Many times the attacks are sparked by illegal mining or simply the flood of Chinese businesses taking over everything pushing local businesses out. Sometimes its over unpaid wages or appalling working conditions - something that happens in China all the time. The locals are done with Chinese abuse. They don't even treat their own people well. Why would anyone think they would treat others any better.
