Apart from British Universities for now, no one cares about Mugabe's human rights record. Or would Zimbabwe be worse off if it  would have as much oil as Iraq?

China is investing fully in Zimbabwe, having much interest in their tabacco crops. (Hmmm, is the interest 25 mln or 58 mln?) Everyone understands powerful interests without objections.

LOL. No some care, but just not the right people.
I can't imagine anything worse than Zimbabwe except Cambodia '75-79. And no Iraq does not even come close to it. According to some of the records, there is up to 3 million short of what the population should be.

On principle I think it is positive that China is investing in Africa, but just as the West did for decades, propping up an authoritarian dictator only leads to more deaths and destruction.
