Abstract

The article discusses Meg Whitman's efforts to promote American tech over Chinese tech in Africa as the US ambassador to Kenya. Whitman aims to counter Chinese influence, particularly from Huawei, by encouraging US investment and partnerships in the region. The US government has initiated various programs and investments to support American tech companies in Africa, while Whitman advocates for policy changes to attract US tech giants to the continent. The article highlights the growing competition between the US and China in Africa's technology sector, with both sides vying for influence and market share. [Extracted from the article]
