Ever since the start of the Belt and Road Initiative, China’s active influence in the African continent has been undeniable. China has lent African countries hundreds of billions of dollars in the name of financing the growing infrastructure in the African continent. However, COVID-19 and other economic straining events have led to a decrease in China’s ability to contribute money to its initiatives. With many contracts and agreements in play, it will be your job to decide how China will handle its dealings in Africa and uphold all of its obligations while addressing those who have been unable to uphold their obligations to you. Will you stop agreeing to new contracts? How will you handle countries that default when that debt is held by the Chinese public and private lenders? Can you keep your economy afloat while contributing to the rise of the African continent? The whole world has eyes on China and it is your job to keep weakness from showing.
