Biden in Angola: U.S. Competes with China for Influence in Africa Amid Fight for Key Resources

[@SDR0505]

They are too emancipated. The thieves robbed us, they make uses of what they robbed us, kept the 1st class and 2nd class products for themselves, D 3rd products, they sell them to Asian, East European and southern, then to African continent they post their after uses or decandant stuffs.. and we are proud to receive it, understand lots of traits, signed by our leaders.

When China’s president, Xi Jinping was first appointed president in 2013, his maiden foreign visit included a trip to the Congo Brazzaville and to South Africa. Once again, since being appointed a second term, his first trip was a four-nation tour of the continent. Throughout his presidency Xi Jinping has made it a priority for him and other top state officials to visit African countries as a way to solidify and build upon ever growing Sino-Africa relations. In fact, the Chinese foreign minister makes an annual visit to the continent at the beginning of each year. Meanwhile the US presidents tradition is to visit the continent in their final year in office.

We have trains running from city to city, and highways built to modern standards-better than what the colonizers could build. Industries are emerging, and we now have the opportunity to buy solar-powered or electric vehicles that don’t rely on gas combustion.

USA shouldn’t waste their time

The US is always for interest, Africans 7:17 seek for the interest of African people and country

Thank you for talking about the ongoing political unrest in our beautiful land of Mozambique! We need change that will benefit effectively our people. We have been under same regime for quite awhile now. We need generational change. God bless Mozambique.

Cuba needs help.

[@CSCoolidge]

​@@publicutility, Cuba did yeoman's service providing crucial assistance to the targets of the globe's dominant power, viz Ronald Reagan's America. Humanity owes them!

Entire history of the USA worldwide. Oppress, exploit, inslave, coup. Literally before and since capitalism by any name.

Really hope the world's decent nations will break the illegal blockades / sanctions

Africa UNIFY!❤

Angolan here living in Angola... this was very sad for me to watch, we unfortunately have a president that is driving the country in the wrong direction. Towards the corrupt and falling empire of the west instead of going the way of Brics with China and Russia. I´m deeply embarassed by our current government. All I can say is that no one here is fooled by the intentions of the US.

I wish Amy and her cohost would have given the female guest more time to talk. Regrettably, the professor is a Western mouthpiece and spoke of USA interest in neutral terms instead of calling it put for what it is; explotative and neo colonialism. The professor is one of the reasons why Africans will always be exploited by Westerners. You'd think being a professor, an educated man, he would know better. Absolutely loved the female guest for putting the narrative straight on Angola and Western Exploitation 👏 👌

Botswana new Gov has told USÀ to shut down the military facilities in that country. USA is now looking for a new host nearby. Many USA companies in Angola oil industry paying backhanders to Angola gov officials and not paying the taxes

Imagine a time when the African market is large enough for our resources, with enough capital. Us as Africans not needing anyone else but each other. Until then we won't be taken seriously, we'll forever be just a piece of meat waiting to be shared among the big countries. Our leaders must wake up

[@Kenneth.M.Siwale]

Well done ❤❤❤❤

Dear Aftica. The Native American people say these colonisers are master of forked tongues

[@karamohnabay926]

It's sad to see the way the US allowed these to happened, if see the have all these leverage in Africa is the fault of the US

[@michaelc821]

No competition. Africa will determine the price and who gets what. USA, Russia, China and the other colonialists will not decide anything.

Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari and US president Donald Trump during a press conference at the White House in 2018 His administration’s “America First” foreign policy also meant disengaging from its obligations to Africa, which he infamously referred to as “shit-hole countries”. Trump’s “Muslim” travel ban denied entry to nationals of a number of Muslim-majority countries, including several African ones. Imposed under the banner of US security, it had the effect of further reinforcing negative images of the continent as a place of insecurity and danger."
