Reply to comment by MunchingLemon in Megalopolis: how coastal west Africa will shape the coming century. by filosoful

While Chinese culture has never been as monolithic as it is today, they did still have common cultural traditions stretching back thousands of years. Africa is much more disparate - there are usually dozens of major cultures in every single nation, and most spread across borders of neighboring nations. It's a mess, quite literally by design.

Traditions are not the same as political institutions, but other than that I agree

Lol, imagine being ignorant to the historically socio-cultural diversity of China.
