China's spent the last 15 years taking over Africa. Hell it's made a good job at bringing frickin Australia into its circles too.

The West (and US in particular) has meanwhile done squat since making another mess in the middle east fighting for last century's resources.

To be fair the West spent 150 years taking over Africa, enslaving its people, treating them as animals and pillaging it's riches.

To be fair the West also stopped that and now invests billions in foreign aid, economic development, medical assistance, NGO's, and a whole lot more (to varying degrees of success)

I assure you the West has not stopped attempting to make African countries do what is wanted by force or subterfuge. France is perhaps the largest offender in this respect.
