South Africa's Mail and Guardian published on 21 August 2020 a commentary titled "A New Cold War Is Coming. Africa Should Not Pick Sides" by W. Gyude Moore, Center for Global Development and former minister of public works in Liberia.
The author concludes that Africa is best served by charting its own course and sitting out the coming Cold War between China and the US, taking over the driver's seat of its development future and determining which partners will bring the most value.
