A new Pew Research Center poll reveals that African nations increasingly favor China over the United States under President Donald Trump's administration.The survey, conducted across multiple countries including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa, shows a significant shift in public opinion.In Kenya and South Africa, China now leads the U.S., while Nigeria's support for China surged from 3% to 15 percentage points.This trend aligns with broader global findings where positive views of Chinese leader Xi Jinping outpace those of Trump.Analysts attribute this shift to U.S.policies like visa restrictions, punitive tariffs, and hostile rhetoric toward African communities, which have damaged America's reputation on the continent.China's economic strategies, including zero tariff policies, are cited as key factors boosting its appeal.However, some countries remain divided, with Nigerians showing mixed views due to regional tensions.The report highlights growing concerns that the U.S.and China are perceived as interchangeable in their approaches to Africa, urging Washington to clarify its stance beyond resource extraction.
