what exactly is a tate?  asking for a friend

I believe it's what a tater does, but that's just a contextual guess.

Yup, China is heavily interested in the entire continent. Been happening for well over a decade. They are starting to make the States look like a kid in school when it comes to overseas investment and natural resource plunder. Watch out capitalism there is a bigger bully on the block.

I heard that Asian and Middle East countries are buying vast areas of Africa because they want to grow food.
In Israel there are a lot of refugees from Sudan and Eritrea, over the last few years we have employed a few of them and they are nice people and great workers.     I see no reason that setting up a factory there shouldn't  work.      South Africa was a prosperous nation with a African workforce.      Problem in Africa is corruption, elected officials steal the money instead of building infrastructure.
I print shirts for a guy in Ghana, he says you can't do anything without paying someone.     If you want to clear a parcel from customs, you have to pay.

YEs China are invested in the African continent for a long time already. It`s a continent full of natural resources. Don`t think they invest there just out of kindness. Japan are as well investing heavily in the African continent. We just recently helped a Japanese company setting up a print shop in Angola. They asked me if I would be interested going over there with them and overlook their operation.

I'm not up to date on everything you cats are talking about, but it seems like from what I'm reading here is other countries are moving around the US and could form new trades giving us maybe less of an upper hand, I"m I correct or wrong here?
PS I know we can't compete on low cost wage workers here

not sure if you are wrong,  but I think companies are looking for the lowest wage workers which is why they are looking at africa
