Glad to see the USA's plan to support their "Southern Neighbourhood" is via sanctioning them. A classic, foolproof strategy that never causes unjust suffering.

I really like this short video (15:07 in length) of Fred M'membe and Kyeretwie Opoku discussing China vs the West's relationship with Africa and the historical context, and China's history of helping Africa when the West refused.

Although it pains me to say that the US Embassador to the UN is right about something, I can agree that the "choice would be simple".
