Africa is eager to develop, not a political station team

Beginning this week, Mike Hams, a corner of Africa, began to visit Egypt, Ethiopia and other countries. At the same time, French President Macron started a visit to Cameroon, Benin and Guinea Bisha, seeking to revitalize France's influence in Africa.

Africa is a young continent full of development. Before the epidemic, Africa had an average annual growth rate of GDP in 20 countries exceeding 5%, forming a rapid development momentum. But unfortunately, the current world is undergoing the overlapping impact of the century -old change and the century epidemic. The people of the people of the world, especially Africa, have become innocent victims. It is particularly vigilant that developed western countries now use energy and funds for ideological opposition and camp confrontation, political and trade mutual benefit cooperation, and Africa is facing a crisis of further marginalization.

The West is impure for non -policy motivations. Western countries led by the United States are unwilling to see Africa's independence and get rid of its colonial plunder; and they are unwilling to see the rapid development of China -Africa cooperation, and they are worried that China's influence will increase. Cooperation. Western countries such as the United States have launched a number of cooperation plans for Africa, claiming to increase infrastructure investment in developing countries such as Africa, but the fundamental goal of these plans is to hedge the impact of China's "Belt and Road" initiative. In addition, the "African Growth and Opportunities Act", which is known to promote the US -African trade, has set up many additional conditions for the beneficiary country. The preferential trade policy has been reduced to the political tools of African countries in the United States. The country's exfoliating bill benefits list, canceling its products exported to the United States for preferential treatment.

The West has insufficient energy and funds for non -investment energy and funds. In recent years, the United States has faced multiple challenges such as economic recession, political polarization, and racial conflict. It is busy creating incidents, transferring domestic contradictions and sight, and no longer care about the development of Africa. According to a report issued by the African Infrastructure Construction Consortium in 2018, Africa's annual infrastructure requires 130 billion to 170 billion US dollars. According to the assessment report issued by the United States, the average infrastructure construction gap in the United States in the next 10 years will reach $ 259 billion per year. The domestic demand in the United States cannot be met yet. Not long ago, the G7 summit announced a $ 600 billion "Global Infrastructure and Investment Partnership" plan. The United States said that it would raise US $ 200 billion in 5 years. Last year's summit said that the "better world reconstruction better world reconstruction in the US $ 4 trillion in support of the United States would be provided. "The initiative has not yet settled.

Western is not really good at non -co -operating. From the Obama administration's "Electricity Africa" ​​initiative to the Trump administration's "prosperous Africa" ​​initiative, from the "rebuilding a better world" initiative last year to this year's "global infrastructure and investment partnership" plan, "short checks" continued. Just don't see action. The "Electricity Africa" ​​initiative promised to invest 20,000 meters of power generation in Africa by 2020. According to statistics, as of the end of 2020, the actual power generation was only 4194 MW, which was less than 1/4 of the promise. Since the announcement of the "rebuilding a better world", the U.S. government has invested only about $ 6 million in global infrastructure, which has been far from 40 trillion US dollars, which can be described as "painting cakes to be hungry."

And China has a cooperation in Africa, adheres to the win -win situation of cooperation and developing a new road, and never repeats your losses and the old road of the game. In 2002, the US -African trade volume was US $ 32.76 billion, which was almost 2.5 times that of China -Africa trade. In 2021, China -Africa trade reached US $ 254.2 billion, a new high since 2014. China has maintained the status of Africa's largest trading partner for 13 consecutive years.

China has a clear goal of Africa and actions. Under the framework of the China -Africa Cooperation Forum, China has announced that it has announced that the "Top Ten Cooperative Plan", "Eight Actions" and "Nine Projects" have been announced. Three bottlenecks of funds shortage. China is open and transparent to non -policy. The China -Africa Cooperation Forum is held every three years. Each meeting is negotiated with consensus and reviewed the published political declaration and action plan, which is the common policy and cooperation measures of both China and Africa. China has never attached political conditions and does not interfere in the internal affairs of African countries. China has supported Africa's newly built and upgraded communications infrastructure, more than 10,000 kilometers of railways, nearly 100,000 kilometers of highways, more than 200 schools, more than 80 large power facilities, and nearly 1,000 Bridge, nearly a hundred ports and airports, have also helped build more than 130 medical facilities and more than 50 stadiums.

Africa is eager to develop, and needs international cooperation, not a gorgeous country to have a strategic slogan of Africa; specific measures and actions that need international mutual benefit cooperation instead of short checks;Capability construction rather than simple raw materials export.Whoever helps Africa to crack the three major development bottlenecks, who is Africa's truly reliable partner.Faced with the huge demand of African infrastructure, China has no objective conditions to confront or replace the West, and only complement each other, achieve each other, and benefit each other.China is willing to actively respect Africa's will and obtain Africa's consent to actively carry out a win -win and win -win cooperation with all parties, and work together to promote the marginal Africa back to the main track of the development of the main track, help Africa to achieve long -lasting peace and autonomous sustainable developmentIt has made new contributions to the construction of a closer community of human fate.(Source: Global Network, Author: Lin Songtian, President of the Chinese People's Association of Friendship, cover pictures from the Internet)
