Africa will not rise by cloning what worked for China because what made China great has expired. Africa needs to invent new frameworks for economic development because the competition is not coming from India, Brazil or China, but robots and artificial intelligence (AI). Now is the time to build MINES of knowledge for the ascension of the beautiful continent.

Comparing a whole continent with a single Asian country; hahahaha. And some people are angry that Africa is being regarded as a nation and not a continent, lol.
There’s a problem.
Sure – you can compare China with Gabon or Rwanda so that you can compare 1.5 billion with 12 million. Comparing Africa with China is sound comparison because no African country has any basis for any direct comparison on population, knowledge creation, etc.
