🇨🇳Meanwhile, China might have just achieved the diplomatic coup of the century: they just recruited the entire African continent.

I'm not exaggerating, literally all African countries (well, with the exception of tiny Eswatini), just attended a summit in Changsha, Hunan province, and issued a sweeping manifesto declaring their intent to jointly resist American "unilateralism and protectionism," and pledging to implement China's "Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative and Global Civilization Initiative."

The implications and level of ambition are immense, there are simply no precedents in world history when a rising power managed to secure the coordinated support of an entire continent in a plan to reshape global governance.
