China and to a lesser degree Russia have always been involved in Africa, since the British pulled out and were flung out of the Dark Continent. Russia supplied arms, in order, for Civil Wars to be started and kept going. Whereas China has provided engineers for mining as well as picking sides in disputes.
Angola, Congo, Rwanda all have a big Chinese presence. Victor Bout, a Russian arms dealer, not in jail, had a huge private air force in Africa supplying Russian made guns and bullets all over Africa. He could not have done it all independently and just had to be connected to the Russian State.
As America could not even get a foot in the door, the Americans released the AIDS virus into Africa in an attempt to end Communist influence and takeovers. Britain continues to work away undercover in South Africa Kenya and Zambia.
