China probably wins versus the U.S. because they’re approaching the world with respect while our leaders are approaching the world with contempt. https://x.com/rnaudbertrand/status/1933364554291110079?s=46

Sort of true. China understand 3rd world countries. I’ll use Brazil for example. I understand their politics(I am originally from there) The Chinese come in and “invest” in these countries(they do this in many ways). The government officials take their money and “invest”in the infrastructure of the country but in reality only a fraction of the investment is used for the public while the rest goes to the politicians pockets. They own a lot of the farm land in Brazil look up syngenta Technically a Chinese government company now. In other words the people get screwed either way, nothing is done for the people just corruption on corruption. Us or china just take advantage of countries with a lot of corruption to extract natural resources. And Africa is much worst a lot my friends that are from there say it’s the same. Chinese have slowly gained the upper hand over the us in the past 10 years or so and nobody noticed.

My take as a westerner that’s been to Africa a few times is the Western idea that China is just another colonizer is too simplistic. Yes, China benefits (a whole lot) but so do many African countries. They’re getting infrastructure like roads, railways, and hospitals in return. And unlike past Western powers, China isn’t trying to erase African culture or rewrite history. At the end of the day, it’s up to each country’s politicians to negotiate deals that actually serve their people. And honestly, this is one of the reasons why China has a relatively high approval rating among many Africans it’s not seen as a savior or a colonizer, just a partner. But time will tell.

Their approach is slightly different. I think Africa infrastructure growth is more of a result of global growth instead of Chinese involvement But I am to skeptical to believe their intentions are good. Haiti is a good example of Chinese involvement going wrong. Worked at first now it’s in one of its worst position ever. Issue is the people in power just look after themselves. A lot of Chinese infrastructure being built will never finish due to “exhausted funding”
