If Nigerians actually understand what is going on here, they would be community noting this Mario guy rather than endorsing him. Here’s another video of this Chinese vlogger, having a nice time with the locals in Nigeria. Again, this visit was two years ago. At no point did he...

The Irony of The West’s Anti-China Rhetoric In Africa. There is a stark contrast between China and its Western counterparts in the type of investments they offer Africa. While China places greater emphasis on infrastructure projects that deliver long-term benefits, Western powers tend to favor short-term social interventions that offer what appear to be quick fixes but have extractive intentions and often compound future challenges. Despite this clear difference, the west continues to push anti-China rhetoric in Africa. There is also the hypocrisy that comes with this rhetoric. Imagine arriving in Africa as a western diplomat to deliver lectures on limiting Chinese co-operation, but the airports, the roads and structural facilities that make your visit possible all exist because of the very partnership you sanctimoniously admonish Africans to do away with. One such case of this hypocrisy was in 2023, when the then Vice President of the US, Kamala Harris, visited Zambia. Ahead of the visit she offered stiff criticism of what she described as the growing Chinese influence in Africa, and her visit was supposed to be part of a US charm offensive to curb this influence. Ironically, both the airport that she landed in and the venue of her summit were both funded by China. The simple fact is that over the last two decades, Africa has recorded tangible benefits from Chinese bilateral deals, but the same cannot not be said for its relationship with the west. In 2025 alone, China invested over $200 billion through its Belt and Road Initiative on the continent. Regardless of whatever ill-intentioned anti-China warnings offered by western actors to Africa, this remains the undeniable baseline.

Victor Gao is the former translator for Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping. Now Vice President of the Beijing-based Centre for China and Globalisation, he gained international prominence following a viral interview with Cathy Newman of Channel 4 in the heat of the US trade war with China. Speaking at the inaugural session of the International Security Conference on Africa (ISCA), held in Kigali, Rwanda in June 2025, Gao elicited thunderous applause from the audience when he remarked that Africa should be free to use its own judgment to determine which country between China and the US works best as its development and trading partner. Here’s how he put it: “The real choice for Africa, as well as for the rest of mankind, is whether the United States is doing the right thing or is doing the wrong thing or whether China is doing the right thing or doing the wrong thing. If the United States is doing the right thing, work with the United States. But if the United States is doing the wrong thing, why should you bother about working with the United States or following its leadership? Similarly, if China is doing the right thing, why don't you want to work with China? And God forbid, if China is doing the wrong thing, why should you work with China? That means African countries, people in Africa, need to use their own brain power to make a decision first, whether this country or that country is doing the right thing or the wrong thing. Don't be forced by any other country to make a choice which will not serve your fundamental interests.”
