Cristina Nambendi, a farmer trained in new agricultural methods, was unaware of President Biden but expressed admiration for China's extensive investments in Angola.
Biden's visit to Angola aims to promote the Lobito Corridor, an initiative designed to counter China's influence while fostering investment and access to essential minerals.
China's longstanding engagement has resulted in visible infrastructure and jobs, leading many Angolans to question whether the U.S. can effectively compete with its investments.
The U.S. strategy focuses on attracting private investment rather than direct project funding, raising doubts about the immediacy of benefits for local communities.
