Dr M\u2019membe wondered why President Hichilema is so afraid of going to China and facing the Chinese leadership over debt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United Nations is not a lender to Zambia. Mr Hichilema knows very well that the unresolved issues lie mainly with China. It is very difficult to understand, let alone explain, why Mr Hakainde Hichilema should fly to Qatar and lobby the United Nations Secretary General on debt restructuring,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is he so afraid of going to China and facing the Chinese leadership? He has made 35 trips abroad since becoming President but none of them to China, which is so strategic to the economic and general wellbeing of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr M\u2019membe said there\u2019s no sensible alternative other than to directly engage the Chinese leadership. \u201cThe truth is that the main handlers of this puppet \u2013 the Brenthurst Foundation \u2013 are very anti-China and Russia (visit their website and Facebook page and see it for yourself) \u2013 and he doesn\u2019t dare defy them,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis imperialist puppet has overcommitted himself to pleasing the Americans and their lackeys and can only go where he thinks they will approve. But there\u2019s no sensible alternative for him other than to directly engage the Chinese leadership.\u201d Dr M\u2019membe added that being ruled by a puppet of America is very dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will get nothing much out of hosting the United States\u2019 so-called democracy conference other than praise and useless honours,\u201d warned Dr M\u2019membe. \u201cClearly, being ruled by a puppet of America and mining transnational corporations is very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
