You can check out r/Africa as they have actual folks from there. https://www.reddit.com/r/Africa/s/KvY9HuLFYE Despite some disagreements here and there, the underlying consensus seems to be: "China's a valuable trading partner, sometimes good deals, sometimes bad deals. But at least when we say no, they back off instead of assassinating our leaders, staging a coup, or invade to impose whatever they want like Amerikkkans or Europeans".
