The Chineses are taking over Africa from what I’ve read. They even have a Wumart which is like our Walmarts but sells bulk knock off items. They are also building truck plants that ignore environmental emissions rules, building new roads and such. They are also sending the locals to China for education/indoctrination and training. I’m not sure in the long run how this will end. The Chineses are racists and look down on the Africans while throwing money at their country and building it up.
Chinese need these lands to live in, colonize, farm, and draw resources from.
Chinese also plan to use Africans in their military.
