Finally, Biden was going to dig the wall in person

Author:Chang'an Street Knowledge Time:2022.07.21

Unsurprisingly, Biden still stared at Africa.

On July 20, local time, U.S. President Biden announced that it will host the United States-African Leader Summit in Washington from December 13th to 15th of this year.

Biden said that the summit will "highlight the United States' long -term commitment to Africa, highlight the importance of US -African relations, and strengthen cooperation in common global priorities."

Is it important to Africa for the United States? It doesn't seem to be. Chang'an Street found that Bayeng had not visited Africa since he came to power, and the last US -African summit traced back to eight years ago.

In 2014, the then US President Barack Obama summoned the leaders of Africa 50 countries and held the first "US -African Summit" in Washington. It was evaluated by the US media as "to challenge China in non -status." What is the result?

History is always amazing. A senior official who was unwilling to disclose his name told Reuters that Biden held the US -African summit, "not all about China."

The senior official also emphasized that "we believe that the United States has provided a better model, but we do not ask African partners to make a choice."

It is worth noting that the US -African summit is not an official announcement, but has made a lot of early "pavement".

On the 18th, the Director of the US International Development Agency, Samanthabau, claimed that China's "food hoarding" was one of the reasons for the absence of famine in Africa. She also accused China of being "specially prominent" in non -assistance.

In this regard, Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, burst into counterattack: Who is the global crisis of food security, and the international community is clear.

In addition to discrediting China for Africa, of course, it is also indispensable to stir -fry China's "debt trap". In fact, the so -called "Chinese debt trap theory" is just the discourse traps that do not want to see the forces of China and Africa accelerated development.

Earlier in November last year, US Secretary of Secretary of U.S. Bringson visited Africa and laid a foreshadowing for the US -African summit.

At that time, Brinken watched Africa under the banner of "democracy" to explain the "five pillars" of the Bayeng government on Africa. Although China does not mention China, it is filled with China -Africa cooperation everywhere.

For example, Brinken said that the infrastructure agreement provided by other countries is "opaque and coercive, which makes African countries debt out of control." In contrast, the US investment in Africa will not cause "unsustainable debt levels."

The Associated Press splashed a pot of cold water for Bronken -in Africa's trip, Brinken witnessed the limitations of American overseas influence. In Kenya, most of the itineraries of Brinken are under the shadow of large elevated construction projects funded by China; in Nigeria, Brinken's team left the airport and passed through the magnificent headquarters building of the Nigerian China Chamber of Commerce. A large -scale China -Africa trade and investment activities ...

I have to say that there have been many summits in the United States recently, and Mingli secretly curbed China's influence, but frequently turned over.

In May, the United States-ASEAN Special Summit was held. While the United States painted the "big cake" of the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework" to ASEAN, while issuing a "shabby check" of a total of US $ 150 million investment plans for 10 ASEAN countries.

In June, the Ninth American Summit was held in Los Angeles. It was not only co -resisted by multiple Latin American countries, but also the gift at the summit was also labeled with "Made in China".

Also in June, the NATO Summit was held in Madrid. For the first time, the four Asia -Pacific regions of Japan, South Korea, and Australia were invited to attend the conference of the four Asia -Pacific regions, and issued a new version of the strategic concept documents to render the "Chinese challenge". However, countries have different steps towards China, and the United States has made up the "Asia -Pacific version of NATO".

With the above summit for reference, it is not difficult to judge the ending of the US and African Summit.

What's more, the friendship between China and Africa is the same as China -Africa, and the common troubles, and the common part of the footprints, step by step. Looking back at history, the more difficult it is, the more firm the determination and confidence of China -Africa cooperation. This is by no means a so -called "American and African Summit" in the United States, which can be easily shaken.
