Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Socialist Party President Fred M\u2019membe has said that the United States government has begun to suppress and discredit China as China\u2019s influence in Africa grows, labelling China as a threat to democracy, with Western public opinion continuing to stigmatize China-Africa cooperation.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on his social media account, Dr M\u2019embe said that Africa\u2019s international attention has grown significantly recently, in part due to the successful China-Africa cooperation.<\/p>\n

Dr M\u2019Membe said that since the establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in October 2000, China has supported Africa addressing problems that have severely restricted economic development, including inadequate infrastructure and shortage of funds, adding that China has undeniably become a driving force in Africa\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

Dr M\u2019membe also said that over the last twenty years, the scope of China\u2019s duty-free access to African products expanded considerably from 3.82 per cent to 16.13 per cent.<\/p>\n

Dr M\u2019membe said that Chinese companies have built 10,000 kilometres of roads, 6,000 kilometres of railroads, 30 ports, 20 airports, and 80 power stations on the continent in ten years (2008-2018). Furthermore, China has provided aid to Africa in areas such as debt relief, human resource training, and dispatching of medical and agricultural experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of Africans trained in these cooperation projects have increased from 7,000 to 50,000 people between 2000 and 2018, totaling 172,000 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdhering to its core principles, China\u2019s aid is provided without political conditionality and interference in the internal affairs of receiving countries, Dr M\u2019membe wrote. Dr M\u2019membe also said that the Covid-19 pandemic has also impacted African economies and this cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, against the backdrop of significant global challenges, it is important to actively plan post-pandemic cooperation and build a community of common destiny for China and African countries,\u201d Dr M\u2019membe concluded.<\/p>\n
