The connection is undeniable, in a journalistic sense. Ie, you can't describe why the US and others are making certain choices without referencing it.
Of course, "related to" and "justifies" are not synonyms.

- nkozyra 5y agoThe connection is "influence in China" and "contemporary colonialism" which is a broad enough topic for a large series of articles. But I agree that this stands on its own as a topic and Belt and Road would feel shoehorned in within an article this short.
- mushbino 5y agoBy that rational, it would be more relevant to mention the history of western colonialism and regime change both past and present to paint a more comprehensive picture. Including China doesn't really add much.
- boomboomsubban 5y ago>The connection is undeniable, in a journalistic sense What connection? That both are trying to gain more influence in Africa? Is the journalistic connection also obvious with something like the Gates Foundation, which is also trying to gain more influence in Africa?
