Sweeping Statements Only applies to Afghanistan where International Red Cross found that more than 90% of Kabul residents are drug addicts from blood testing.
Afghanistan and China are natural partners and will be on very friendly terms.
as for india and modi............... Modi and India chooses to go with Americans and americans tells Modi, our enemy is your enemy and so China can forget about India. Indians do not have persistence and independence to do what is good for India. Indians good for talking and Modi very happy after dinner with Biden.
India will not amount to much, certainly cannot reach its full potential because Indians are NOT rooted....................with no roots, no foundations, then becomes all talk, no action, then becomes who can take modi out for dinner.............very bad foundation.
I like Africa......Africa is a continent of 54 countries, all of them realise their future is with China.
From top to bottom, from the riches to the poorest, Africans realise China is their friend, that China gives a very good development model as well as source for financing and expertise for Africa. ...and all 54 countries successfully went from colonies, to semi colonies from 1960 - 2000 and from 2000 to now developing very well as true independent countries. Africa already has 20 years of prosperity and now in the accelerated path.
Africa first they were colonised. Then gained independence in the 1960s. But never true independence. All the resources went send to the west with zero benefits to Africa. By now it's third generation fourth generation leaders in Africa. Much better now. They all look at China and see the right way forward with help from China. As for China, it's sees it's natural role to be on the side of the global south. It's a win win for China Africa
The Wagner Group has established operations in several African countries, where many of its operations focus on security issues. It has often provided security services and paramilitary assistance and launched disinformation campaigns for troubled regimes in exchange for resource concessions and diplomatic support. Wagner is most active in the Central African Republic (CAR), Libya, Mali, and Sudan.
Wagner’s services vary based on the needs of its clients, which include rebel groups and regimes, and its funding ranges from direct payment to resource concessions.
Combat operations. Wagner troops have supported African governments in combat operations against rebel groups, and vice versa. Approximately one thousand Wagner troops entered CAR in 2018 to defend the government of President Faustin-Archange Touadéra against rebel attacks on the capital, Bangui. In return, Wagner subsidiaries received unrestricted logging rights and control of the lucrative Ndassima gold mine. Similarly, Wagner Group forces deployed to Mozambique in 2019 to help fight the self-proclaimed Islamic State in the northern Cabo Delgado province. However, the group failed to contain the insurgency and withdrew from the area after a few months.
Security and training support. Wagner acts as a security service for vulnerable regimes. The group served as a part of a personal protection detail for Touadéra and helped train CAR’s army to prepare for possible coup attempts. Wagner has operated in Sudan since 2017, training Sudanese troops, guarding mineral resources, and suppressing dissent against the government of President Omar al-Bashir, all in exchange for gold exports to Russia. In many cases, Wagner’s support is supplemented by official Russian military assistance, such as in Mali, where the armed forces received combat and surveillance aircraft from Moscow.
Disinformation campaigns. Prigozhin also owns the Internet Research Agency (IRA), an online “troll farm,” and the Association for Free Research and International Cooperation (AFRIC), both of which are under U.S. sanctions and have worked alongside Wagner. The IRA previously outsourced work to individuals in Ghana and Nigeria that sought to inflame political divisions in the United States ahead of the 2016 presidential election, while AFRIC has sponsored “phony election monitoring” in several African nations, including Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Prigozhin has also been accused of co-opting Pan-Africanist movements to promulgate anti-French and anti-Western messages.
Wagner’s status as a PMC limits the financial costs of Russian intervention and gives the Kremlin plausible deniability, allowing it to hide personnel losses from the Russian public while simultaneously using Russian military infrastructure. In return, Prigozhin has emerged as a prominent figure in the war in Ukraine and among the Russian public.
In some cases, Wagner’s involvement in Africa has resulted in alleged human rights violations and exacerbated regional insecurity. In Libya, Wagner troops who fought alongside the Libyan National Army during its 2019 Tripoli campaign have been accused of committing extrajudicial killings and planting landmines in civilian areas. More recently, the group has been reportedly supplying Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces militia with missiles during its war against the Sudanese army. Wagner troops also operate in the same areas as the UN peacekeeping mission in CAR, threatening the United Nation’s ability to protect civilians.
Meanwhile, the group has continued to expand its foothold in the Sahel. Recently leaked U.S. intelligence has revealed that Wagner is working with Chadian rebels to oust the country’s transitional president, and some analysts predict that Burkina Faso could soon hire Wagner to help counter a growing jihadi insurgency after France withdrew its troops from the country earlier this year.
Wagner’s services vary based on the needs of its clients, which include rebel groups and regimes, and its funding ranges from direct payment to resource concessions.
Evil Russia took away resources from Africa and provide weapons to rebels to kill Africans.

After all evil alliance Putin & Xi get out of Africa, there is still room for Africa.
every year Africa sends thousands to China, and they learn about China 's poverty eradication programs and will go back to help Africa develop........the future is very bright.
Africans like to say, in the 1960s, China is just as poor as Africa, yet China helps Africa built their railways. They like and still remember the help and unity.
africans say....in the London stock market, there are still mining companies with a trillion dollar market cap with concessions in the ground. ...they dig the minerals send the minerals to europe, and don't even pay much taxes...... that is the old model.

Mexico replaced China as America's top trade buddy — and it shows how the global economy is rapidly transforming
-Trade between the US and Mexico reached $263 billion during the first four months of this year. -That pushed Mexico past China and Canada as its top trade partner since the start of the pandemic. -China was America's top partner for much of the 2010s and again at the start of the pandemic.
