Zhang Yongpeng, a researcher at the Institute of West Asia and Africa Research of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, accepted it. In an interview with the Overseas Edition of the People's Daily, "the core demand of the United States on Africa's diplomatic strategy is to make African countries choose the side stations at the level of international security, international structure, and great powers, and cultivate African countries into curbing China and Russia in Africa and Africa and Global influence tools and leverage have shaped Africa into strategic partners in the United States and the West. However, African countries have their own political stance, and the US move will not have a substantial impact on China -Africa relations and Russia -Africa relations.

Regional stability is threatened

In response to the remarks of China -Africa cooperation during the visit of South Africa, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded that the United States said that it is not important, and the important thing is how the African people think of China -Africa cooperation. Recently, a poll in South Africa shows that 76%of African young people believe that China has a positive impact on their production and life and exceeds the influence of the United States. African polls "African Bar Witcher" report shows that 66%of African interviewees believe that China's political and economic influence in Africa is positive. "We recommend that the United States listen and respect the wishes of African countries and the people, and don't play the drama of the thief shouting a thief." Wang Wenbin said.

"With the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, the changes in the regional situation, and the increasing competition in the country, the United States is further strengthening its pressure on African countries, thereby squeezing China's strategic space and strategic interests. This is the fundamental consideration of the United States. "Zhang Yongpeng believes that at the level of security strategy in Africa, the United States hopes to increase its military assistance and training efforts to some African countries through its leverage through its African Command, and to enhance the impact of ideological and other ideology such as Africa's democracy. This means that in the future, the United States may further increase the impact on domestic and foreign affairs at home and abroad in the name of military security and ideology. In addition, the United States has also mentioned the role of African -African -African regions to strengthen the role of African regions, and increase its influence on Africa from a social level. In this way, the United States is trying to bring the New Cold War to Africa, which has a negative impact on the security and stability of the international situation and the peaceful development of developing countries.
