China and the United States are
about to go to the polls to choose new leaders. And what crucial events to
happen at a time like this. On Tuesday,
the next American president will be elected and two days later, the 18th
congress of the Chinese Communist Party will select the new Chinese president
and prime minister.
Whoever ever becomes leader in
these two powerful countries will determine the course the world takes both in
terms of peace and prosperity in the next four years.
Relations with China
Mitt Romney has said that he
finds China's power uncomfortable and if he wins the US elections, Romney will
focus his attention on reducing China's rise to supremacy in the world realm.
This could reduce political and economic deals and harm the global recession.
If Obama wins on the other hand, political watchers have concluded that
president Obama would probably re-focus on the American people by creating more
jobs, implement more health and social reforms.
Outlook for Africa
The love for Obama is still waxing
strong in many sub-Saharan African countries and especially in South Africa,
Nigeria and Ghana. South Africa has been the biggest recipient of American aid.
Millions of dollars and medication has been donated to South Africa to cater
for HIV sufferers by the US. But a during a visit to Cape Town made by Mrs
Clinton in July 2012, she informed South
Africans that she could not promise that the aid and business from the US will
continue if president Obama is not re-elected into power.
