The Stark Difference Between How African and U.S. Governments See Engagement With China Was Clearly Evident in Nigeria

The huge divide between how African governments see their engagement with China and how it’s framed by the United States was on full display  at a press conference late last week in Abuja with visiting Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his host Nigerian Foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama . While Blinken appeared to intentionally avoid using some of the more controversial rhetoric about “debt traps” and imported labor that has long informed official U.S. thinking on this issue, he wove in subtle, indirect references to several of the longstanding criticisms of Chinese investments in Africa. But Onyeama, like many of his peers in other foreign ministries, was not afraid to push back on that narrative: This marketing content will be shown in place of your protected content to anyone who is not allowed to read the post… Get a daily email packed with the latest China-Africa news and analysis.

The Back Story of China’s Most Popular Vlogger in Africa

Wang Yao had lived in East Africa for more than a decade and became increasingly frustrated with the way that Africa was depicted in the Chinese media. When he searched for “Africa” on search engines or social video sites, all he got were the usual memes about war, famine, and safaris. So he decided to do something about it and launched his own channel on the Chinese version of TikTok, known as Douyin. His upbeat, stylized videos about daily life in Kenya took off. Within just three months he reached a million followers and now, a year later, he’s closing in on 5 million.
