A lot of this seems resonable regarding Africa I guess. But.
Semi-perifery? China is the biggest producer of cars, coal (4th in gas, 5th in oil) and CO2-emissions (also consumption based). Biggest oil and coal importer. With the second largest military spending of all countries.
China is central.

Is China doing "colonialism" in Africa?
Here I argue that equating China’s activities in Africa to Western colonialism/imperialism is not only empirically incorrect, it trivialises the extraordinary violence of the latter. It is a form of denialism.
