China shores up influence in Africa

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi completed a six-day tour of African nations yesterday, underscoring China’s ongoing efforts to boost its power over the resource-rich continent. Wang’s visits to Ethiopia, Lesotho and Tanzania further advance China’s global Belt and Road Initiative, in which the Chinese regime loans vast amounts of money to smaller nations to help build ports, railroads, highways, airports and other infrastructure improving their links to the Chinese economy. The terms of the deals often enable China to gain full control over these and other trade assets. China is continuing to develop the massive, anti-American trade bloc prophesied in the Bible.
