So what is China trying to extract from Zambia and Tanzania?
If it's similar to most of the other BRI projects, Tanzania and Zambia get railways, Chinese workers get jobs, more expertise in the field, and China gets access to healthier/wealthier markets in the two countries.
Money. From people buying Chinese stuff. >80 million people live in those countries and they would like very much if they started buying lots of cars and electronics
