Cristina Nambendi signifies a lack of awareness about U.S. leadership compared to a strong recognition of China's infrastructural impact, indicating China's dominant presence in Angola.
Biden's visit aims to promote the Lobito Corridor, a significant U.S.-funded railway project intended to counter China's expansive influence in Angola and beyond.
While U.S. officials highlight the Lobito Corridor's potential for private investment and better access to essential minerals, skepticism remains regarding tangible benefits for Angolans.
Despite U.S. efforts to attract investment, many Angolans question whether the promised benefits will materialize, given China's longstanding involvement and immediate contributions in the region.
