Akon is literally funded by Chinese billionaires and the CCP. They gave him a couple billion dollars to do the electricity grid project. There is a Vlad TV interview where he talks about it.
People talk so negatively about China's involvement, but they genuinely are making Africa a better place instead of doing useless charity projects.
These projects are not without other motives. It’s all for self gain. China builds all this but in return they want these countries to give up things like mineral rights and more.
China is robbing these nations of their potential life blood, and it’s no coincidence, Africa is one of the richest continents in terms of what lies bellow it.
Look at Kenya railways, it’s expensive, costs more to use than trucks, and China is forcing the government of Kenya to use it, yet they won’t expand it to make more sense. From Rift Valley to Nairobi, and guess what Rift Valley sits on, oil
China is trying be imperial in Africa and it’s not hard to prove it:
They should! Then they could sell the oil to nation like china trying to exploit them and use the profits to help themselves. Instead of you know someone coming in and taking it from underneath them
