    Well, at the end of the day there is a historical wound that white colonialists countries inflicted on Africa as a continent that hinders their current relationship. In some ways this also applies to the United States.

    Meanwhile China has the same plans that US had for Mexico when they created the TLCAN, but nobody complains since China has never had belligerent relations with Africa. Is an alliance where i personally find Africa to be on the disadvantageous side.

      I’ll comment this here too:

      One side called them shithole countries, the other side cancelled billions of their debt, helped them build infrastructure and is committed to providing them COVID vaccines.

      Bet that was a tough decision.

        If China’s option is so bad, how worse is the Western hegemonic option, that countries are preferring China?

        Daniel Dumbrill really said catchy stuff, that stuck to my head.
