What are the Chinese doing?

They're building roads in Ghana; they're discussing "cooperation" in the Congo. They've formalized security arrangements with Afghanistan, "to fight the 'three evil forces' of separatism, extremism and terrorism as well as transnational crimes."

Or maybe someone wants to show off by getting a job done on time, or ahead of schedule. (emphasis mine)
