Africa is being carved up between China and Russia. I guess colonialism is ok as long as it’s not, “western colonialism.”
Mostly China, and they aren’t trying to colonize it. China wants to extract their natural resources and then leave. They want nothing to do with trying to run those countries or manage the people living there. There’s oil, gas, precious stones, and rare Earth elements used in manufacturing in the ground. Once they get all that stuff out of the ground, you won’t see a Chinese face within 1,000 miles of there.
They’re smart enough to not waste time and money playing that game. They know the world is dominated not by having colonies, but by controlling the economy.
Do you know anything about either of them?
Who is the good guy here.... LOL
There's a whole bunch of (sounds like) India-sourced op-eds that normally flood my home feed on the Roku YouTube app. They've got quite a different POV regarding the Russia-China relationship to what shows up when I do a search for said videos here. Lots of kumbaya-Russia-China-cooperation BS shows up. The other stuff isn't. The channel name is something like TSInews or some such. Oh, here it is, TFIglobal.

I wonder how popular Tarzan movies made in the 40’s are in China and Russia? Can you picture some Chinese explorers getting trapped in quicksand or ran down by an elephant stampede.
After their success in Syria, Russia is expanding their African Presence as France recedes. Mali has Uranium I believe—nice location to put pressure on Libya and Nigeria. They can get a lot for a few Rubles.But, beware, Africa is like buying a boat—costs more than you imagined. But if your ruthless and don’t mind getting bloody in the process one can make money. Russians never have been squeamish about such things. Who knows? They might even bring order.
