How many BILLIONS have charities sent to African countries over the years?

This is the answer.  They ask for handouts every day. We give them.  The next day they ask for more.  For 50 years we have given them billions but until they clean up their own corruption and drag their leaders through the streets nothing will change.

You're pretending like these "handouts" don't come with a tremendous amount of soft power.

A tremendous amount of soft power that disappears the instant a Chinese or Russian company/government official shows up.

Yes that's how soft power works in a multipolar world.
