ELI5: Why are the Chinese taking over Africa?

In South Africa they want build a whole new town the New York of Africa. In Mozambique they build highways, airports.. Do they get resources like diamonds and oil from the government or do they hope to expand their habitat and expand en masse?

Africa has lot of natural resources and needs lots of money.

China has lots of money and a growing need for natural resources.

Its nothing new, the US and Europe have been doing the same things for a very long time.  China is just the newest player in the "let's fuck Africa" game.
