FM: Groundless to Blame China for 'New Colonialism' in Africa
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Liu Jianchao Friday refuted claims of China's so-called "new colonialism" in Africa, stressing that China-Africa relations are based on equal footing, mutual respect and reciprocity.
"No African government or people have ever blamed China for practicing 'new colonialism' in Africa. The African people were once enslaved by colonists and they know better than anyone else what colonialism is all about," Liu said at a press briefing.
The political relations between China and Africa are based on equality, mutual trust and non-interference in others' internal affairs, he said on the eve of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.
Sino-African economic ties are based on equality, mutual benefits and common prosperity, whereas their cultural exchanges are carried out on the basis of mutual respect and are aimed at referring to each others' experiences, he added.
So how can such relations be called "colonialism"? The Chinese are never to blame for practicing colonialism in Africa, said Liu.
The African governments and peoples all speak highly of relations with China and are thankful for the aid and help China has extended to boost the continent's political, economic and social development over the past decades.
In seeking a new strategic partnership with Africa, China's ultimate goal is to achieve common development, improve the living standards of the Chinese and the Africans and subsequently promote world peace and prosperity, he said.
Against the backdrop of globalization, enhanced cooperation between China and Africa will enable the two sides to take the new opportunities and to join hands in tackling the challenges.
"Africa needs China. And China needs Africa as well," said Liu.
Liu hoped those narrow-minded people, who blame China-Africa relations, look upon the relations with a broader vision, and work together with the Chinese and African sides to boost Africa's development and contribute to the prosperity of Africa and the world at large.

You want to talk about "NEO-COLONIALISM" in Africa, you only need to look at the UK and Israel.
Israel SUPPORTED and STILL SUPPORTS a racist Apartheid south Africa.
The UK still receives "Royalties" in terms of BILLIONS of dollars for 3rd world countries (due to "loans" and past Imperialism and Colonialism).
European nations and "Western" nations need to stop being HIPOCRITES.
>>>>>>> Who colonialized and MURDERED TENS OF MILLIONS OF ASIANS, AFRICANS, SOUTH AMERICANS.
Who???
Who???
Who???
Who indeed... And this is STILL OCURRING.
There's a saying in the Muslim world.
"Those who live in glass houses, should NOT throw stones."
Wise words indeed.
>>>>>>>>>> And by the way, I know that the "common" folks in the UK and US does NOT benefit from this global IMF Financial Scam --- The Ashkenazis do.
The unfortunate thing is that the "Jewish" controlled media try to scapegoat and cause internal fighting:
Examples:
(1) Pitting Christians VS Muslims
(2) Pitting Middle-class VS Lower-class Americans
(3) Pitting ignorant Americans VS Mexican "illegals" (this term is a misnomer, since the Mexicans were the ORIGINAL inhabitants)
(3) Pitting EU VS Asia-Africa-America
(4) Pitting Christians VS Media
ETC
it really doesn't get more effective than that - it's a classic!
But, speaking of royalties - it's not just loans they collect 'royalties' on - it's also patents and copyrights.
THAT is why the US has the biggest and most advanced military in the world - not to defend us - but to steal energy resources and to ENFORCE the terms of their LOANS and their patent and copy 'rights'
oh please. the chinese in their many milennia of unbroken history have never attacked or taken over countries not considered 'chinese', not even at the height of their military prowess, when they had the vastest, most powerful armada in the world and discovered many new lands. europeans, on the other hand, have always subjugated native peoples, destroyed native empires, and controlled native governments wherever they land, almost at the moment of landing.
