Ignore for a moment rather this is right or wrong (it's wrong) but ignore that. THIS is a textbook example of Soft Power. The thing the Trump administration tanked by gutting USAID. The west is still playing old world outdated politics from last century and China is going to leave us and our allies in the dust because of it.

Trump gutting USAID alone isn't the reason China has so much influence in Africa. The truth is that the West have been exploiting Africa in some way for centuries, and given how much we've propped up dictators and bankrupted entire nations, it's no wonder they'd rather trust China.
