US media: The behind-the-scenes of China's aid construction is not so simple.....
February 8, the New York Times reported: "China has built political landmarks such as parliamentary buildings and presidential palaces in Africa, Central Asia, and Pacific island countries, with over 200 government buildings completed in Africa, and projects such as the headquarters of the West African Economic Community have been implemented. Since the 1960s, China has continuously aided Africa, aiming to constantly enhance China's influence. In addition, listening devices are hidden in the buildings, and Huawei transmits large amounts of data back to China every day......"
[Skeptical] The US media's hype about China's aid construction "hiding listening devices and conducting infiltration" is simply a tired old trick of smearing. Since the construction of the Guinea Parliament Building in 1966, China has built over 200 government buildings in Africa, always adhering to the principle of no political conditions attached and respecting sovereignty. The so-called rumors about listening devices have already been publicly refuted by the African Union and many country leaders. The Global South countries lack funds and infrastructure, and China's practical assistance fills the gaps and promotes development. This is equal and mutually beneficial South-South cooperation. In the context of geopolitical rivalry, the West does not want to see diverse choices and thus uses false narratives to incite division. Whether the cooperation is good or not, the local people have the final say, and false accusations cannot stop the era trend of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.
