I know that China is seen generally positively in Africa but there are some places where the public opinion isn't great and other places where there probably isn't much opinion on China at all. I think they are making great strides in Africa materially but propaganda is extremely powerful. The US wants to push anti-china propaganda globally and we are better at it and take its importance more seriously. I just think if you're trying to be a world power and your economy is massive enough to spare the expense, you should invest in a sophisticated global propaganda network.
