I think it's normal in every democracy to wish for alternatives that align more with an individual voter. But politics is as much compromise between parliamentarians as it is between voters.

Does he actually give any evidence of anything? The south African bioweapons program is well documented, but spreading hiv doesn't appear anywhere, and most of the new South African experts on the disease consider it logistically impossible.

The US thought there were too many off-topic items in it to vote for it (pesticides and technology transfer), and not enough focus on conflict resolution. Israel just votes asking the way the US votes.
Note that food was a human right since the UDHR.

Yeah, but people still trusted America more.
While a lot of projects tend to have Chinese billboards in front, almost all of the less wholesome projects have Chinese support.
A lot of people wouldn't have lived long enough without Bush's Pepfar, although that might explain my personal biases more.

During Biden's term Africans largely preferred America over China. I imagine that Prigozhin's IRA and now Trump are making a difference.
The west is less likely to support inhumane governments, so the Sahel states naturally went to sell their blood gold to Russia instead.

I always enjoyed looking at old dictionaries of pejoratives, like 15 ways of calling Afrikaners Dutch. Archaic words that aren't used anymore for reasons easily understood.
