Red China is a major trading partner of Uganda. In 2021, the top three countries exporting goods and services to Uganda were China ($1.3 billion), India ($841 million), and Tanzania ($811 million). So two of its top three trading partners are part of BRICS. In contrast, the United States exported goods and services worth $130.6 million. Uganda's greatest export is oil, and a Chinese owned company, along with a French firm and the Ugandan and Tanzanian governments, is building the longest heated crude oil pipeline in the world, the East African Crude Oil Pipeline. Uganda abstained from the United Nations vote in October 2022 condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Uganda is clearly in the Chinese camp. Unlike the West, the Chinese and the Russians do not condemn actions against sexual perversion. The Chinese develop energy resources, while the U.S., Britain, and the other Western nations promote "green" energy, obviously impractical for a developing nation.

As much as I despise the Communists (and Russia and China are still run by the heirs of the Soviets and Maoists, respectively), the Chinese and Russians offer real development to Third World nations while the West offers little more than continued rural and urban squalor and sexual perversion. Were I a leader of an African nation, I would choose BRICS over the Western "democracies".
