Although from your topic which is China and third world countries I was thinking you mean the relationship between China and third world countries which in my opinion is a little bit weird. China has been giving lots of loans to this 3rd world countries but no one knows what the extent of the payback would be like.
Is China a 3rd world country?
Does a mayor put his family in charge of municipal jobs?
Do regional governors employ their family rather than the people having studied for it?
Do ministers put family members in charge of government tasks?
Rural China is quite different from urban China.
That is what makes a 3rd World Country, German became one when the the Finance minister facilitated support for his brother, later that brother gave him a price for doing what is his job description.
