Early double celebration
Wang Wei Wen
China has actively launched a strong anti -epidemic diplomacy for more than a month, but some exported medical protection supplies have exploded quality problems. In addition, China and the United States are more intense, highlighting this wave of diplomatic operations.If friction appears, it will warn the Chinese diplomatic front.
After Guangzhou continued to occur from African designs last week, after the overseas input crown disease cases, the official strengthened the identity test and epidemic test of the foreigners including Africans under the pressure of public opinion, but accidentally caused the African government to publicly stated thatFull, appealing Africans is treated discriminatoryly, including being driven out of the residence and not allowed to enter a public catering field.
Among them, a network of online videos showed that three Nigerian men who rented hotel apartments in Sanyuanli, Guangzhou, were recently intercepted by law enforcement officers to forcibly take away isolation, allowing the work explained by the foreign department of Beijing and the residents.
The Speaker of the Nigerian State Badaibiyra, on Friday, summoned the Chinese ambassador Zhou Pingjian to express his attention on Friday.Zhou Pingjian, who looked down at the video, was misunderstood and apologized. Two days later, the Chinese embassy in the China Embassy issued a statement, emphasizing that the personnel in the video were legitimate and wrong.
When the Niaka Foreign Minister Olyma met Zhou Pingjian in the office on Tuesday, he still condemned the aforementioned video screen to be extremely frustrated and unacceptable.According to the Financial Times, some African countries in Beijing have sent a letter to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that they specifically conduct equal racism for compulsory virus testing and isolation for Africans.
The United States, who has been drawn from Africa for a long time, seize the opportunity to see the stitches. Tibor Nagy, assistant Secretary of State of the African Affairs Bureau of the United States State Department, described the video and stories from Guangzhou that it was shocking and said that it was abuse and revenge.
The Beijing diplomatic system has recently launched a fire extinguishing.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian responded to the incident for three consecutive days, reiterated that China resolutely opposed any racism and discriminatory remarks, and also acknowledged misunderstandings during the implementation of measures.Chen Xiaodong, a assistant minister of Foreign Affairs, collectively met with the ambassador of more than 20 African countries in China on Tuesday, explaining that Guangdong is constantly taking improvement measures to implement various health management in principle without differences.The State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi also called Fiki, the chairman of the Non -Alliance Committee, emphasizing that the friendship between China and Africa is as strong as a rock and unbreakable, and will not be disturbed by some forces.
Although Aoniama and Zhou Pingjian still had differences on Tuesday, the two people showed that the contradictions had cooled down at a joint press conference after the meeting.
The Chinese media quoted O'Nahma yesterday at a press conference that some Nigerians have been confirmed after arriving in Guangzhou in the near future. One of them is a restaurant female owner.After the government found out this point, it was required to close related places and isolate and close contact.Some people in the nation made an error interpretation based on the videos circulating by social media, and mistakenly believed that the Nigerians and Africans were selected in epidemic prevention.
However, officials in the embassy in China also believe that the local government has a lot of room for improvement in the communication of prevention and control measures. If the situation is notified in time at the beginning, the two sides will not have mutual suspicion.
O'Neiama said that the Guangzhou government and the local Consulate General have established a communication mechanism, and the citizens of the Nigui who have been isolated in Sui have been properly arranged.Aoniama said that the Chinese businessmen posted a rejection of black or Africans in the online video, and O'Neiama said it was very sad, saying that it must not be accepted.
Zhou Pingjian explained that this is an individual phenomenon and individual behavior. Once the Chinese government finds that some merchants have discriminatory measures, they will involve and correct their practices.He also said that the concerns of Africa and Nigeria have been effectively resolved.
Is China -Africa relations recently staged a small storm, or will it evolve into a big storm?Whether Guangzhou can solve the old problem of management in the future, does not provide room for the operation of Chinese and African relations in other countries. Whether the US epidemic returns to Africa after the epidemic is worthy of follow -up observation.
After the current President of the United States, Trump has cut US $ 3. billion (S $ 4.3 billion) foreign aid each year. Africa is the first to describe African countries as shit pits, and the relationship between the two sides is cold.
If Trump is successfully re -elected in the November campaign of this year, its government estimates that it will continue to accuse China of plundering resources on the African continent with the Belt and Road Initiative and make debt traps, but it will not provide benefits to African countries.Under the reality that the United States can't expect, I believe that the ship of China -Africa friendship will not turn easily in the short term.
