Well Europe had the benefit of full sovereignty over the entire continent, instead of investing in infrastructure it was all just plundered in the name of profits for the honeland

I mean, don't get me wrong I know that China is not doing anything of pure benevolency, still having China as a partner is better than being a colony I guess

I believe that a better counterargument would be: "well when Europe was relevant to the african continent electricity wasn't even deployed in all of Europe"
