For decades, the Western world dominated global innovation, technology, and economic policies, leveraging imperialism, colonialism, and economic exploitation to maintain its supremacy. However, today, the tide has shifted. China has emerged as the world’s technological and economic powerhouse, leaving Western nations scrambling to maintain their influence.
China’s Unstoppable Growth: A Threat to Western Dominance
China’s economic transformation over the past four decades is one of the most significant in human history. According to the World Bank, China lifted over 800 million people out of poverty between 1981 and 2019, the fastest economic rise the world has ever seen.
Manufacturing Supremacy: China is now the world’s largest manufacturer, producing over 30% of global industrial output (Statista, 2023). The country leads in sectors ranging from electronics, automobiles, shipbuilding, and renewable energy to high-speed rail systems.
Technological Prowess: Chinese companies like Huawei, Lenovo, and DJI have overtaken their Western rivals in telecommunications, computing, and robotics. Huawei alone holds over 100,000 active patents, surpassing any Western competitor.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Leadership: A 2023 Stanford AI Index Report confirms that China now publishes more AI research than the United States and European Union combined. The country has over 1,400 AI startups, with companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu leading breakthroughs in deep learning and AI-driven healthcare.
Automotive Industry Domination: China now produces more electric vehicles (EVs) than any other country, with BYD surpassing Tesla in global EV sales in 2023. Leading Western carmakers Ford, Volkswagen, and GM are struggling to keep up.
5G and Telecommunications: Huawei and ZTE have built more than 70% of the world’s 5G infrastructure, leaving Western telecom giants like Ericsson and Nokia trailing behind.
This unmatched dominance is why the U.S. Pentagon has a dedicated “China Desk”, a division solely focused on countering China’s rise. The Biden administration spent years imposing trade sanctions, blacklisting Chinese tech firms, and pressuring allies to abandon Chinese partnerships. Now, under Donald Trump’s return, the U.S. will likely ramp up its economic warfare against China, attempting to cripple its economy and slow down its global influence.
The Real Reason the U.S. Supports Israel’s Aggression
Western nations fear losing their economic control, and as China expands its influence in Africa and the Middle East, the U.S. is scrambling to protect its access to critical resources.
The ongoing U.S. support for Israel’s military aggression is not just about geopolitics, it is about securing control over the Middle East’s mineral wealth. The region holds:
48% of the world’s proven oil reserves (OPEC, 2022)
Over 40% of global natural gas reserves
Massive deposits of rare minerals used in semiconductors, defense technology, and renewable energy
Israel, backed by the U.S. and Western military-industrial complex, is actively working to expand its control over resource-rich Arab lands while China and Russia strengthen ties with Middle Eastern nations through BRICS and alternative trade alliances.
The real war is not just about religion or politics, it is about who will control the future of energy, technology, and global trade.
Africa’s Wake-Up Call: The Need for Economic Liberation
While China is investing in infrastructure, technology, and industry, Africa remains trapped in Western debt, economic manipulation, and resource exploitation. The West deliberately keeps Africa in a state of dependency, flooding the continent with:
Unfair IMF and World Bank loans designed to cripple African economies with unpayable debt
Predatory trade policies that force African nations to export raw materials while importing expensive finished goods
Coup plots, puppet governments, and economic sabotage to keep African leaders subservient
China, on the other hand, is offering Africa an alternative:
$60 billion in infrastructure investments through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
Technology transfers and industrial partnerships that empower African nations to develop local industries
Debt-free trade agreements that enable African countries to export value-added goods instead of just raw materials
Many Francophone African nations, including Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, have begun rejecting Western economic control, expelling French military forces, nationalizing their resources, and strengthening ties with BRICS nations.
Nigeria must follow this path if it wishes to escape the Western economic stranglehold and reclaim its sovereignty.
Nigeria’s Crossroads: Choosing the Right Path in 2027
Nigeria stands at a critical moment in history. With elections approaching in 2027, the country must break free from Western manipulation and choose leaders who understand global dynamics and can negotiate economic liberation.
We need leadership that will:
- Diversify Nigeria’s economy beyond oil and invest in technology, manufacturing, and industrialization.
- Reduce dependency on Western loans and adopt sustainable economic policies that promote self-reliance.
- Strengthen alliances with BRICS nations to counter Western exploitation.
- Invest in education, innovation, and digital infrastructure to prepare Nigeria for the fourth industrial revolution.
- Reject IMF-imposed austerity measures that continue to impoverish Nigerians.
Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, the biggest population, and vast natural resources. If properly managed, it could become the China of Africa, a self-sufficient global powerhouse that sets its own agenda rather than following Western dictates.
The time to act is now. As Africa rises, Nigeria must lead the charge. The Western world will never willingly free Africa from economic slavery, it is up to us to break the chains, take control, and forge a new path toward self-determination and prosperity.
The 2027 elections will be a defining moment. A word is enough for the wise.
