[quote]China holds a substantial lead over the EU concerning
perceptions about decision-making and timely completion of
projects in Africa, according to a survey about the activities
of Europe and China on the continent.
...
China scores much higher than the EU on what the survey
respondents consider Africa's priority needs - physical
infrastructure, speedy results and non-interference in internal
political affairs.
...
"To put it simply: A road completed in record time by the
Chinese is a value in the perception of Africans and more
concrete than abstract European projects to promote democracy,
human rights or sustainability," Schott said.
China has been accused of putting developing countries into
"debt traps" by offering unsustainable loans for BRI projects,
which can then be leveraged for political influence or
concessions of geostrategic value to China. This contention has,
however, been sharply disputed.
Last week, China's foreign ministry said, "the so-called
'Chinese debt trap' is pure disinformation and a narrative trap
created by those who do not hope to see China-Africa cooperation
pick up speed".[/quote]

[quote]Wu Peng, director general of the Chinese foreign
ministry's African affairs department, on Wednesday said Beijing
was speeding up efforts to provide emergency aid to help Horn of
Africa countries deal with the severe drought.
...
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi promised emergency food aid to
Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Djibouti early this year. On
Wednesday, Wu said the first shipments were on the way. "Glad to
know that the first batch of food aid to Ethiopia and Djibouti
has been shipped out and those to Somalia and Eritrea are ready
for shipment," he tweeted.
...
Nazanine Moshiri, International Crisis Group's senior analyst
for climate and security in Africa, said the situation in the
Horn of Africa was dire.
"More than 18 million people are suffering extreme hunger in
Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. In Somalia, more than 200,000
people are facing famine. At least a thousand children have died
- those are the cases we know about - millions more are severely
malnourished," Moshiri said.[/quote]
Relying on food aid is not a long-term solution. The only true
solution is to emigrate to the EU!
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/climate-refugees/
Food aid is good to the extent that it keeps more people alive
long enough to emigrate. It is bad to the extent that it reduces
their incentive to emigrate. But the latter is the fault of the
locals, not of those supplying food aid.
[quote]Zhao said that as a developing country, China had no
obligation to provide official development assistance. However,
he said China "has been actively participating in international
development cooperation, providing development resources to UN
development agencies, including food and agriculture agencies,
and making positive contributions to global food security".
"China has provided more funding, sent more experts and
undertaken more projects under the framework of the Food and
Agriculture Organization's South-South Cooperation Programme
than any other developing country," Zhao added.[/quote]
Thank you, China! (And reminder: Russia is not part of the
Global South.)

[quote]Ethiopian expert Richard Pankhurst is certain that by the
Tang dynasty (618–907) "the Chinese were acquainted with at
least part of the Horn of Africa and were trading indirectly if
not directly with the Somali coast."[/quote]
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Somalia_relations#History
[quote]Relations between Somalia and China long predate the
Middle Ages. Through trade, the peoples of both areas
established good relations. Giraffes, zebras and incense were
exported to the Ming Empire of China, which established Somali
merchants as leaders in the commerce between Asia and Africa,[3]
and in the process influenced the Chinese language with the
Somali language and vice versa.[/quote]
Now is the time to revive the friendships between the ancient
civilizations:

Again, note that Russia is not even on the map! In fact, Russia
didn't even exist back then! This is what we need to get back
to.

The mainland Chinese people still good with their socialist
doctrine rather than the diaspora "Westerner Chinese" people who
remain Westernized. So, the Chinese so-called "debt-trap" merely
the Western propaganda to cover up their losses of power. And
the tragedy of what happen on Congolese people which commited by
the Chinese worker are not part the official doctrine of
Autocratic China and just the worker's lack of disciplinal
competence

More good moves:

[quote](Bloomberg) -- The Solomon Islands government threatened
to ban “disrespectful and demeaning” journalists from entering
in response to an Australian documentary that alleged widespread
Beijing influence in the Pacific country.
A spokesperson for Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare accused the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) of promoting “racism
and racial stereotyping” in a lengthy statement published
Wednesday, and warned the government would “ensure that racial
practices are eliminated from the Solomon Islands.”
“Such organizations or journalist who possess such qualities
will not be allowed to enter Solomon Islands and other Pacific
Islands nations,” Sogavare’s spokesperson said in the
statement.[/quote]

Maybe the hatreds of my people towards China because of Western

was did for cover up their foreign policy of trapping the

Oakland leading the way!
This East Bay city will be first to allow an Indigenous group
the exclusive right to use city land
[quote]A trail near Sequoia Point in Joaquin Miller Park in
Oakland. Oakland leaders are planning to return about five acres
of city land to an indigenous group in an effort to restore
reparations. The land is at Sequoia Point in Joaquin Miller
Park.
Oakland leaders plan to allow an Indigenous group the right to
exclusively use about five acres of city land, the first city in
California to use municipal property as reparations for European
settlers stealing Native American territories.
Oakland leaders plan to allow an Indigenous group the right to
exclusively use about 5 acres of city land, the first city in
California to use municipal property as reparations for European
settlers stealing Native American territories.
Mayor Libby Schaaf and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, an Indigenous
and female-led nonprofit, announced Thursday that the city will
grant an easement for Sequoia Point to the land trust and the
Confederated Villages of Lisjan, which is the East Bay Ohlone
tribe. The Point sits above the Sequoia Bayview Trail, one of
the most popular trails in Joaquin Miller Park.
Oakland is creating a cultural easement at Sequoia Point, a
legal arrangement that allows the city to transfer the right to
use the land for cultural purposes, including ceremonial
traditions, native habitat restoration and education activities.
While the city retains the title to the property, the land trust
has almost all of the rights of an owner, although the city can
go on the property in case of an emergency.[/quote]

Signal To Russia? Xi Jinping Talks Kazakh Sovereignty, Opposes
"Interference" Before Meeting Putin
[quote]Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Kazakhstan for a
state visit on September 14, his first known trip abroad since
2020. Xi was welcomed by his Kazakh counterpart Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev upon his arrival in Nur-Sultan. Beijing's firm statement
of intent came just before Xi met Russian President Putin on the
sidelines of the SCO summit in Uzbekistan. On the other hand,
Kazakhstan sees Xi’s first abroad trip to their country as a
great signal of security in Central Asia.

We are not alone after all!

[quote]Sino-Russian bilateral cooperation appears to increase as
the West tries to “isolate” Russia with its coercive measures.
However, some dissident forces in China want to change this
scenario. Chinese officials, politicians and businessmen have
been demanding changes in Beijing’s stance, urging the country
to adopt sanctions against Russia and condemn the special
military operation in Ukraine.
...
Among academics, experts and journalists, anti-Russian
engagement is also growing in China. Some authors in the country
hold skeptical views about Sino-Russian cooperation and believe
that Beijing should move away from Moscow in order to avoid
being sanctioned by the West. This is the case, for example, of
Hu Wei, vice-chairman of the Public Policy Research Center of
the Counselor’s Office of the State Council, who recently
published the article “Russian-Ukrainian War and China’s
Choice”[/quote]
The following video speculates in particular:
[quote]"To cross the nuclear threshold, even with a small
nuclear weapon, I think would turn even China against President
Putin and Russia."[/quote]
