        Both china and the US are looking after their own interests. For us to think otherwise would be naive.

        They can't just stop coming to Africa. We are in the era of indirect colonial era through globalisation and FDI. Africa leaders need to wake up and put the interest of their citizens first with all of our resources.pic.twitter.com/6sZVdYvb34

        Who is he kidding? Don't we all know that what matters for these "powers" is ensuring that their countries get a piece of Africa's natural resources cake! They don't care one bit about our welfare, even though they like to prentend that they do... #hypocrits #politics #Lies

        America will never do what China is doing. All this fight is out of Jealousy. We are waking up now, it's going to take time, but eventually will, cause They put us into a deep sleep for centuries.

        China was speaking with their trade deals and investments while your boss was calling Africa a shit hole. You need a reversal of your thoughts on the black continent.

        The train left the station long before they had arrived. China with it's inexhaustible financial & other resources is the bride of Africa. China long pulled the rag under the foot of the #US. Uncle Sam just lick your wounds and move on.
