China is the latest, but subjugating Africa has been a worldwide pastime.

Well yeah, but the same can be said of any continent at some point in human history.
But it can be said in particular of Africa in the more relevant and recent hundred years or so. Especially in the context of the comment that sort of loosely implied China was alone in subjugating Africa, in the present day.
Is the exploitation of the African continent just in the light of previous exploitations of other groups? I genuinely do not understand the point of this comment and would like you to explain it further.
