Politico published on 22 April 2021 a commentary titled "How the U.S. Can Eclipse China in the Battle over Africa" by Cobus van Staden.
The author argues the US has a long way to go in Africa to catch up with China's engagement. First, the US needs to show up.
Comment: While China may have pulled away from the the US on economic engagement, when it comes to security issues other than arms sales, most African states turn to the US or another Western power for assistance.
