Three facts about China-Africa relations
Share - WeChat
As the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) unfolds in Beijing, the Western media claims China tries to "woo" African countries.
Here are the facts:
China has been Africa's top trading partner for over a decade.
China-Africa cooperation has resulted in nearly 100,000 kilometers of roads, over 10,000 kilometers of railways, nearly a thousand bridges, and close to a hundred ports. China has built more infrastructure in Africa in just two decades than the West has in centuries.
The BRI, claimed by the West as a "trap", has attracted 52 African countries and the African Union to join.
If China tries to "woo" African leaders, where are the Western alternatives?
