#AreYouKidding? Would a goat and pawpaw test positive for COVID-19 in South Africa with the Chinese swab testing kits donated by NASPERS & Jack Ma? Would they even tell us? Well they did in Tanzania! This and multiple other reasons has caused African nations to re-evaluate their relationship with China, and not only become more critical of China’s globalist ambitions, but also to see potential windfalls in suits against China, for not informing the world of the virus in time and also for racist incidents in China. The ANC regime in South Africa however continues to cover it all up with the SACP faction in the ANC, which is growing stronger in its attempts to oust Ramaphosa, pushing China’s communist agenda in all departments it has influence over. Chinese ownership in Independent Media (Argus, The Star, IOL, GQ, etc.) and NASPER’s Chinese interests (Tencent), no doubt help Chinese propaganda efforts in South Africa…
While a senator in Nigeria has introduced a motion – accusing China of institutional discrimination against Nigerians in China, more African nations are calling out China, with even Tanzania rejecting Chinese test kits after a goat and a pawpaw tests positive for COVID-19! Coronavirus test kits used in Tanzania were dismissed as faulty by President John Magufuli on Sunday, because he said they had returned positive results on samples taken from a goat. Tanzania was one of the first countries to receive these testing kits from Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who also donated to South Africa and the rest of Africa. As SA-News reported many European nations returned testing kits after the faulty kits exacerbated their fight against the CCPvirus.
President Magufuli revealed at an event in Chato, in the northwest of Tanzania, that COVID-19 testing kits which had been donated by Jack Ma and imported from China had “technical errors”. Magufuli had instructed Tanzanian security forces to check the quality of the kits, who then randomly obtained several non-human samples, including from a pawpaw, a goat, and a sheep, but had given them human names and ages, and then submitted them to Tanzania’s laboratory to test for the coronavirus, without telling the lab technicians of their origins.
Magufuli disclosed that samples from the pawpaw and the goat tested positive for COVID-19, saying “We extracted a sample from a goat which turned positive. This tells you that something is not adding up.”
Africa has caught on to the global outrage against China and nations joining in are increasing each day, as are the demands for reparations and for accountability. As usual the Chines Communist Party responds to this backlash like it always does, with a mix of threats and political correct rhetoric and who knows what else behind closed doors. More of this rhetoric is directed towards Africa because Chinese money has failed to buy the silence of the continent, except of course for South Africa, which is still under China’s spell, probably because of the heavy influence the South African Communist Party has on the ANC regime and China’s influence on many South African businesses and public sectors and government departments (the secretary general of the SACP is also the Minister of Education!)
While African nations are increasingly wary of their dealings with Beijing after videos of racism against African expats in China did the rounds, African nations now want to sue China for such racism. A group of lawyers from Nigeria took the first step, seeking 200 Billion dollars from Beijing. Now this demand to #MakeChinaPay may soon get an official stamp after a Nigerian senator, Benjamin Kalu, moved a motion on the “institutional discrimination” against Nigerians in China. The senator, who is the spokesperson of Nigeria’s house of representatives, has put up a long list of facts which influenced his decision:
- Nigerian citizens being treated as second-rate humans, worse than dogs in China
- The senator says that Nigeria – China trade has generated eight Billion dollars in revenue and this should be enough to earn the respect that Nigerians deserve in China
- China’s “parasitic relationship” with Nigeria. The senator says his country wants a relationship that is mutually respectful
- Senator Kalu says that Nigeria should not allow Chinese citizens into their country without an expatriate quota or work permit
- Breach of fundamental rights of Nigerians living in China
The senator added that Nigeria’s ministry of justice will provide all financial support for Nigerian citizens who wish to seek redress for “actionable causes”. Nigeria is not the first country in Africa to challenge the bow down to China status quo. A number of other African governments are seeking redress and they have already lodged complaints with their respective Chinese embassies. Last month Ghana summoned the Chinese ambassador to express its disappointment. Ghana’s foreign affairs minister condemned the inhumane treatment of African expats in china. Uganda also summoned their Chinese ambassador last month over the harassment and mistreatment of its nationals. Kenya is seeking reassurances from its Chinese ambassador and its foreign ministry issued a complaint note in April.
South Africa? Crickets…
All these complaints led to the African Union (AU) speaking in one voice (with a mumble from SA), against China. Moussa Faki Mahamat from Chad, is the chairperson of the AU who summoned the Chinese ambassador Liu Yushi. He called out Beijing’s inaction over the rampant racial discrimination in China and the African Union expressed its “deep concern” over the situation of Africans in the city of Guangzhou,
However the global outrage goes beyond racism and beyond Africa, to various reasons for outrage. Kazakhstan for instance summoned the Chinese ambassador a few weeks ago when the Kazakh government protested against an article by the Chinese state media. The article pretended it was an idea that Kazakhstan was interested in becoming a part of China, they clearly weren’t interested in becoming another Tibet.
France also had to summon the Chinese ambassador over Beijing’s propaganda in April when the French government expressed disapproval over a Chinese diplomat’s claims that France had left its older citizens to die! These are just a few of the many countries that have started pushing back against Chinese propaganda, imperialism and profiteering from the virus. How many more nations will it take before China understands the world is not interested in a Communist One World Order, not that communism allows people ot have a say. Needless to say South Africa’s obedience to China, and classifying Chinese as black for BBBEE purposes does not help.
China must stop pretending to be the global leader and stop forcing itself on others with concealed carrot and stick agenda’s, or buying people and influence in global organisations like W.H.O. and UN…
