Opinion | If the US doesn't start to meaningfully help African nations, China will have a blank check to control growing African industries. By IvorIchikowitz of Ichikowitz.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Congo President Denis Sassou Nguesso at the 2018 Beijing Summit Of The Forum On China-Africa Cooperation.By ignoring Africa in foreign policy priority, the US is quietly losing the resource war in Africa to China.

The US has dropped the ball in engaging with Africa. If President-elect Biden listens to the voices of the largest collective marketplace, the US can take back its leadership role on the world stage. When the dust of the presidential election inevitably settles, the world will be waiting for America to re-assume its stewardship role and perhaps have a serious rethink of its foreign policy priorities.

Failure to do so, to continue the mistake of omitting Africa from US foreign policy priority, will force us to continue to side with nations like China, who have capitalized on our unbridled market opportunities, playing a role in our geo-commercial ascendance and helping make us your next global competitors.Early in his administration, President Donald Trump seemed to recognize this and made major changes to US policy toward Africa.

ivorichikowitz Ichikowitz Carefully following China for two decades: The US is too late. Playing friends with China now will put us in a spiraling downturn. Diplomacy is not too late with Africa; we have proven our interest there. It's time to open the industry in Africa. Have Africa make goods for all.

ivorichikowitz Ichikowitz I was amazed at the Chinese development, even in rural areas in Kenya when visiting last summer. The biggest tourist group for the safaris? The Chinese.
