This paper is a critique of the Belt and Road Initiative also known as One Belt One Road Initiative by the Chinese government. It examines this initiative as a new phase of neo-colonialism in Africa and therefore a debt trap on developing nations. It analyses the OBOR initiative using Ngugi wa Thiong‟o‟[1] Petals of Blood and Wizard of the Crow. Through these texts, the Belt and Road Initiative which is surreptitiously spreading China‟s economic exploitation via loan sharking and the unbridled Chinese imperialists are unravelled. This paper adopts the Marxist theory in analysing our chosen texts. The aim is predicated on the fact that the OBOR initiative is a system which exploits developing nations like Africa. The Marxist theory of Marx and Engels as it applies to this paper hinges on how imperialism damages colonial economy and societies. The paper concludes that the Belt and Road Initiative or One Belt One Road (OBOR) Initiative is an indirect mode of colonialism masked in the repressive structure of the Chinese government.
