zimbabwe becoming a consumption economy

.

Is our country becoming a producing economy or an consumption economy. Is the concept of looking to the East helping Zimbabweans or rather the Chinese? It seems as if China instead of promoting the country's economy it is consuming it. The goods that they sell here are all goods from their country. it means no production is being done here, no job creation but rather they are improving their own economy. Our money is used to promote their economy. Take for instance the China Mall in Harare all the products there are Chinese and the shops as well. this means it is only benefiting their country rather than producing their goods here and distribute them to nearby countries. It has been noted again that these chinese products though cheap they do not last. So should we say they are helping us or consuming our money. In practical terms the mall is mainly designed for Chinese. the shops are written in their language and the food outlets there are mainly chinese as well as the employees. Chinese products are selling up to 70% in Zimbabwe.
