/kloc-how do 0/100,000 immigrants build a new empire in Africa?

This problem seems to be a bit big, and the United States dare not blatantly say that it is an empire, although it is the only empire. Now it seems that China's strategy is to continuously strengthen its influence in the Middle East and Africa. Although I went to waves of people, I still wanted to make money. As far as my poor sources know, Africa's attitude towards China is not as friendly as the media now say. After all, there is friction in making money in Africa.
