We 3rd worlders should welcome the rise of China with open arms. American and Soviet rivalry provided alot of investments/development projects all over Africa. We might see the return of that era. But let's hope those nasty coups and proxy wars won't become a norm though.
Ever since Soviet Union fell Sub Saharan Africa became once again Western colonies to extract natural resource dirt cheap. Thanks to Chinese investments and global ambition these Western goons are willing to finally invest into the continent.
