Because we have 2 canines (China & the United States) ,,, one 'a wolf', the other 'a fox' - both having a predatory nature and a similar appetite regarding power/hegemony, but having different appearances and mannerisms.

Us must not get involved in running the internal affairs of Zambia

Because, the US are enemies of China, it itself puts China in a negative light and vice versa. But it goes deeper than that, China has numerous human rights offense within it's countries as of late in which it works to genocide, torture and enslave certain minorities in order to and advanced market capital and to have free labor, in which China launched the Debt Trap Diplomacy to essentially buy the Zambian government and have them extort massively to the point in where the funds of your territory would go directly into funding there debt that they owe to the US ever since they where caught stealing and repurposing American technology in the technological expansion of the early 80's when America was naive to China.

We prefer the second option. We don't want to be dependant on somebody else to give us fish we want to fish for ourselves.

No one must dictate how to run internal affairs of Africa countries but only invest in development stated by that particular country

US: Training? It's concentration camp! Fishing themselves? It's forced labor, nobody allowed to buy their fish.

Don't forget about the Exxon Mobil scandel in Equatorial Guinea, where they PAID a Teodoro 1 billion dollars to essentially just hand the US government every single drop of offshore oil reserves which where initially worth 102 trillion dollars which would've literally been able to reinvigorate the entirety of all African countries economies respectively into becoming a mid to second tier world country.

What Africa essentially needs is not a period of colonialism, but a educational renaissance where the territory goes through a period of governmental isolation, in which each territory within Africa would need to formulate internal trade systems before interacting with any other country, which would include railroad systems, and the formalizaition of a Unification of states such as the AU but reprocessed that would work on the establishment of trade.

But in relative honesty, it will be impossible for Africa as a whole without some form of both cohesion in the compression of the territory becoming a unilateral country instead of 54 divided countries with independent legislature as each countries legislature would independently either set itself behind or ahead via some decision.
