> They likely cancelled at the behest of China

Look, I'm no defender of China but ....

First, read what I already said up-thread. The organisers clearly took a risk, it didn't pay off. If they did not understand the risk they were taking on, that's on them.

Second, Google the agreement referred to in that Twitter post. It was a standard China Belt and Road Financing thing, so super common in Africa that it's barely news.

I really don't think you seriously can pin the Chinese theory on this one.

Or the USA.

The fact that both are equally likely tells you all you need to know about the current state of the USA.
