A Chinese reconnaissance ship stopped at Duban Port in eastern South Africa this week. This move will trigger concerns about Western countries, and South Africa may be closer to China and Russia.
According to the data compiled by Bloomberg News on Wednesday (April 5), the "Yuanwang No. 5" reconnaissance ship is driving west.The existence of this reconnaissance ship has previously attracted the attention of China ’s local geopolitical opponent India.In August last year, when Sri Lanka allowed the "Yuanwang 5" reconnaissance vessels to stop at the port of Hantan, India proposed to oppose it.
"Yuanwang 5" can track rockets and spacecraft launch.The suspension of this ship in eastern South Africa may exacerbate people's concerns that South Africa is moving closer to China and Russia. Although trade with Western countries accounts for most of South Africa's trade, South Africa's largest single trading partner is China.
In February this year, South Africa held a naval exercise with China and Russia, which caused criticism from Western countries.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense of the Ministry of Defense of the Democratic Alliance in South Africa criticized in an interview that the South African government will not consider the possible consequences in the future. "This is a problem.Stopping, why is it around? "
