I wish the US could get kicked out of southern Africa too. I think they have a base in Botswana

China needs to start arming and training Africa too tbh. So far it's just been economic cooperation, but that won't be enough to keep the US and Europe out.

With said arms and training if the need ever arises.

Doubt it ever will though. China seems to prefer solving things through diplomacy and trade, which is probably partly why they're not arming and training African governments to begin with.
