China vs USA: How China has been SILENTLY taking over Africa for 15 years

The Jay Martin Show

Welcome to the Jay Martin Show. Today, Jay speaks with geopolitical expert Ronan Wordsworth about the intensifying competition for resources and influence in Africa. They discuss how China’s initial dominance in Africa through investments in infrastructure and natural resources has met challenges, as other nations now scramble for access to the continent's critical minerals. They also explore military dynamics in the South Pacific, with China ramping up assertiveness in response to economic struggles and regional shifts, and touch on U.S.-China tensions regarding Taiwan. Wordsworth offers insights into the strategic consequences of these geopolitical maneuvers and the potential long-term outcomes.
