China builds space alliances in Africa as Trump cuts foreign aid

On the outskirts of Cairo, a cutting-edge space lab was supposed to be the first in Africa to produce homegrown satellites. Step inside the plant, though, and the made-in-Africa image begins to fade

The article from Reuters discusses China's increasing influence in Africa through space technology partnerships, particularly as the U.S. under former President Trump reduced foreign aid. China has been actively engaging with African nations by offering satellite technology, training, and infrastructure development, aiming to expand its Belt and Road Initiative into space cooperation. This includes launching satellites for countries like Ethiopia and Nigeria, and setting up ground stations. Meanwhile, the U.S. has shifted its focus from foreign aid to domestic issues, inadvertently creating a vacuum that China has been filling. This strategic move by China not only enhances its geopolitical influence but also positions it as a leader in space technology in Africa, where many countries are keen to develop their space capabilities. The article highlights the potential long-term implications of these alliances, suggesting that China's investments could lead to significant technological and economic dependencies for African nations.
