As the capabilities of USAID are being incorporated into the State Department, China is attempting to exploit this transition, according to Langley.

The U.S. Africa Command leader also noted that there are several programs that the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to replicate. Langley conveyed these remarks in a discussion with lawmakers, highlighting the strategic moves that China is making in Africa in the wake of the USAID’s restructuring.
