I'm really amused at the redditors who think that China is just now courting African countries.
The PRC has been fiercely anti-imperialistic from it's conception and earned good will with African countries by acting in solidarity with decolonization efforts. It was by the vote of the third world that the PRC replaced the RoC at the UN.
This image is extremely funny. Somehow most of Europe and like half of Africa and all of Asia voted yes, while the yanks and their puppets voted no. Wonder how much of that vote was a surprise, given that most of europe voted yes.
