US President Biden hosts leaders from Africa at summit amid rivalry from China

US President Joe Biden is set to announce support for the African Union to permanently join the Group of 20. He's expected to do so at the US-Africa Leaders Summit, which begins tomorrow (Dec 13). While some delegations have arrived in the US capital for the event, Mr Biden has yet to schedule a bilateral meeting with any of them. That’s a marked contrast with China -- America's biggest global rival -- which has long pursued personal high level diplomacy with Africa, while investing heavily in the continent.
