I would be surprised if that happens ever. The idea that China in Africa is a threat for everybody since it is a threat to US is, IMHO, over rated.
France let Chad sell oil to China without any problems. It is even the french companies who denied the offer in the first place.
What is more interesting is the African wind of change that is now blowing on the China/Africa relations.

The basic thinking that former and new colonial powers will take care of Africa security issues is, IMHO, also much over rated on the continent. Africa is adjusting, so should also the observers.
