Are there security gaps in China's Belt & Road Initiative- especially for pipeline infrastructure? Article by @msaltskog of @TheSoufanGroup says there is. https://t.co/cd1Pr6opon However, BRI is also based on voluntary buy-in by receiving countries, diminishing potential danger.

Excellent write-up by @tremanncc regarding #China-#US relations in #Africa. Just a speech by the National Security Adviser will certainly not change anything for the US...more action from US companies is needed in Africa. https://t.co/wftH1VRauX
