So this is a nothing-burger right? The article says it’s expected to pick up next year and it’s 4.something instead of 5% growth? That all seems rather minor unless China has some deeper economic issues.

I don't know shit about Burkina Faso, and it's probably some brutal right wing dictatorship knowing the state of Africa, but if they truly did this to help enrich their citizens and not themselves good on them.

The article says its to do with them wanting to get Trump back on for a debate and if they anger him he certainly won't.
