First of, am not good at the journalistic reporting on this, so feel free to do your research, i am speaking based on my view for the west(ecowas), east, and southern africa states.

I think we should and can capitalize on this turmoil. I think we can force china to renegotiate their long term deals in the continent. If they do anyhow, we treat them anyhow. We should also force them on the issue of technology transfer, matter of fact we should work together, so like Nigeria, sierra leone, liberia, and ghana would be acting as sympathizers to the US and make it clear that it is technology transfer or we work with china and at the same time renegotiating long term deals, then at the same time senegal, benin, guinea, and gabon would be doing the same to china, while cameroun, ivorycoast and others will be doing the same to france. No time.
