This is an opinion piece by the democratically elected president of Niger.
That’s interesting, I do love the English language it’s like an eternal tarantella.
It’s funny to me that the sensible opinions on China are so vanishingly rare - it seems everyone wants a fantasy version weather that be saintly or demonic. They’re the same about America of course, they hold up someone like Tucker Carlson and say everyone in the west is like this or point to Shell poisoning the Niger Delta and pretend it’s the whole story – or they go the other way and act like unchecked capitalism could solve all their problems.
