China and Rwanda are becoming closer in terms of bilateral relations. The two countries are getting involved in infrastructure projects and development programs. President Paul Kagame thanked President Xi JingPing for investing in Rwanda. There are plans also to collaborate more on mining, tourism, and agriculture. The year 2017 marks the 46th year since diplomatic relations were established. African nations are taking a more favorable view of China, because it never demands reforms in African political systems. This shows that China has become a major influence of the continent. France, the UK, and US want to counter this by military intervention. Libya, Ivory Coast, Mali, and the African Central Republic are targets. African nations prefer China rather than the West due to the fact they were their former colonizers and a prone to promoting regime change. African and Asian cooperation must continue to act as a shield against neocolonialism.
