I can't read that as it's paywalled. Anyway here's a lot of links about this topic, several from African leaders and diplomats on the difference between Chinese trade and development in Africa and actual imperialism as practiced by western countries:
It's not paywalled. I think you didn't even bother to click "read full article" or whatever the button name is. They might ask you to register witb a free account.
If you want to use other people opinions as an argument, I'm going to ask you for what you asked for - studies. Preferably published in journals, not essays by socials celebrities like Caitlin Johnstone, nor articles in Chinese newspapers, nor Reddit. And that's because a deluge of weak sources is worthless - that's how US propaganda works and enforces itself.
Extra points if the studies are not from China or it's close Allies, just so that you have exactly the same requirements as the ones you asked for.
Can be paywalled.

Say what you want about China but they aren't out there enslaving the population and raping women. At worth they're doing what the FMI is doing with their debt trap. How dare you compare that shit with real life violence
