has been mentioned that China is offering alternatives to Western models in Africa Briefly look over this US government factsheet that provides an overview of President Bidens new US Africa Strategy Do you find this national policy towards Africa significantly different than Chinas Why or why not Are there any aspects of the new US policy that would provide more of a winwin development strategy than the Chinese model and approach If so what are they 1 The sovereign internet is disconnected from the global internet so the country has its own modes of control and database of its country As a result as in China the main social networks such as Facebook Instagram and others may be isolated With Chinas great influence in Africa this is a new form of expansion and dominance of China in relation to this country As the internet is global and has the function of connecting all people on the globe this denomination of sovereign internet does not make any sense to this model Thus such restrictions are not in good shape in relation to what the internet proposes 2 The Confucius institutes are determined as a means of immersion and learning of Chinese culture with regard to teaching language and culture providing a cultural exchange and promoting friendship between the two peoples Thus as China sees Africa as a continent of opportunities it is clear that there is massive investment in this direction Through this there is the possibility of rescuing several people to China and Africa promotes the specialization of its inhabitants through exchanges aimed at studying and in this way both in a way profit from the Confucius institutes 3 The media with regard to the sphere outside China and Africa commonly addresses the relationship as a way for China to expand its power in which there is too much influence and domination over a continent And it sees its treaties and forms of intervention as recently Chinas inputs to Africa in relation to COVID19 as means of manipulation Through this this would be a new form of colonialism in the 21st century However the two countries willingly celebrate this partnership 4 In the colonial look exploration of the place is sought Already in the eyes of the tourist it only exalts it However in my view China has a look of colonialism but as the way it does this does not make it visible at all it can confuse even the most studied Since all the agreements and opportunities in reference to the conjoint institutes as discussed above relate to this view of investing in a beneficial way for me in relation to China in relation to Africa And like the Africa only needs to comply with the will of the Chinese 5 Both flows occur to the detriment of opportunities the flow from China to Africa becomes more real since the Chinese have a greater active voice in relation to the Africans and in this way can gain great influence and enjoy the country The flow occurs in smaller volume from Africa to China due to prejudice lack of labor specialization which directly impacts the lives of African people who go to China Apart from the fact that as it is one of the most populous countries in the world there are few opportunities in the country Through this the elucidation of little flow occurs 6 The factors that contribute to this unexpected armament are the powerful ally they have since if there is any war or threat of it Countries that rebel against China start to think twice as they will have to face China and its ally Africa Through this a new look at the whole situation is generated showing how there is an intensification of the relationship Because if necessary it is clear that the countries of Africa would attack in favor of China 7 Both strategies despite their implementation differences stem from the same reason the exercise of influence over a country that has few resources and investments In this way both China and the United States of America want the same great influence on this new market on the people on the economy of the entire country Since through this it is possible to expand both For reason of sovereignty in relation to Africa Which culminates in these forms of organization based on the country
