About this episode

The episode discusses the misconceptions about China's influence in Africa and highlights the ongoing control by Western interests.

Nobody cares about Africa. But I do. I’m an African and I live in Africa. South Africa is my home, and always will be. I don’t intend on leaving. I often hear that China is trying to take over Africa. You’ve probably heard it—maybe even said it. But where does this idea come from, and what’s it really based on? In this week’s UK Column banter with Mike Robinson and Charles Malet, we break down how it’s actually Western interests that have controlled Africa, still control it, and aim to keep controlling it in the future. ➡️ My UK Column podcast: https://www.ukcolumn.org/series/jerm-warfare 📺 YouTube version: https://youtu.be/xpYNVjP0dDg?si=qZyKmA4xQk7T2aoG ✉️ Follow my awesome work: https://www.jermwarfare.com/#/portal/signup
