WEEK IN REVIEW: China Becoming Africa's Go To Source for Weapons
The Nigerian military signed a deal with Chinese state-owned weapons manufacturer Norinco to set up a factory as part of an effort to develop a domestic arms production capacity in the West African country.
The deal is the latest in a series of announcements about increased Chinese weapons sales to African militaries, which are rapidly changing battlefield dynamics across the continent.
This week, Eric, Cobus & Géraud discuss how Chinese drones, surface-to-air missile systems, and other advanced arms technologies are now commonplace, often available at a much lower cost than comparable weapons from the U.S. and Europe.
