the reason Africa is more aligned with china is that china does not care about working with dictators they will give loans even if they know that it will never be payed back and have less conditions so its easier to get. china represent itself as if its better than the west because communism and being against imperialism but do the exact same thing or even worse then what the west ever did in modern day.
I'm pretty sure this case is because China makes more $5 phones.
I'm not sure the exact price points, but Chinese manufacturers have the super budget market because their country is one of the biggest markets for them, they have the labor that's manufacturing them for everyone else, and they don't have the extra hoops to jump through that international companies do.
And they generally get subsidized...
working with dictators is the favourite pastime of Western 'democracies'. There are multiple US-backed coups in my countries past.
then china is not better is it.because they should know better but do same or worse. maybe you can get your next coups backed by china.
