China's Influence in Africa
China's Communist Party is actively exporting its authoritarian political model to Africa, aiming to create an authoritarian-friendly political bloc on the continent. China has established close ties with many African countries, emphasizing a sense of kinship and shared history of anti-colonialism. China's focus on Africa differs from other parts of the world as it recognizes the continent's untapped potential and sees it as the future. The Chinese government's activities in Africa, particularly in the mining sector, have raised concerns of neo-colonialism. Chinese state-owned enterprises have been accused of extracting resources without significantly benefiting local economies.
