The South China Morning Post published on 9 December 2023 an article titled "US Makes US$2 Billion Commitment to Angola as Oil-rich Nation Eyes Move Beyond Chinese Funding Model."
China has funded most infrastructure projects in Angola this century. The United States is set to finance $2 billion worth of solar power, bridges, internet network, and the Lobito Corridor Railway Line from Zambia to the Angolan coast via the Democratic Republic of Congo. The project, which includes European Union participation, is seen as a counter to China's Belt and Road Initiative.
