Surprising, but true: Japan invests three times more project money in Africa than China

[opruh]

Japan's soft power imperialism is too under the radar, if it's being compared to the US or European countries, people will just shrug and say that it's different and ignore that it's happening or make excuses to justify it.

Africans would likely accept investment from Asia than Europe with open hands considering that the last time Europe went to Africa, it didn't go well.

As to why they (the West) are observing Japan and China's economic advance to Africa, I guess this has something to do with Europe's history on this continent.
