    Libs can't comprehend indirect control of more than two levels. To them it's like hoi4, either direct control or a puppet regime. The French shit is less obvious and gives a feeling of self governance while controlling the country using economic means. so libs think they're independent.

      It's not foolishness or ignorance that blinds them to this, but white supremacy. They have no trouble seeing how Chinese investment in the region implies a level of influence. In fact they imagine a whole lot more than that, which simply isn't there. But in one thing they're not wrong - many African nations are seeking to redefine their position in an increasingly multi polar world. They're not blind to the shifting balance of power. They simply see the old white supremacist order as the natural state of things, and any liberatory project as a corruption of that.
