COVID-19: US propaganda hurting Africa-China friendship – Liu
This is coming at a time many Nigerians are kicking against the invitation of Chinese doctors to help the country in combating the dreaded coronavirus.
But Liu, a businessman in Lagos with interests in several sectors, lamented that while the US had sustained one of the world’s greatest economies for hundreds of years and also related with Africa those years without a lasting impact, it was uncomfortable that China had warmed its way into the minds of Africans through genuine friendship.
Chief Liu, a co-chairman and founding leader of the University of Lagos Institute for Nigeria-China Studies, added that “when we take stock of the benefits of FOCAC in 20 years and those of Africa-US relationship, we don’t look far to see the difference and also know who has been the real friend and who is the enemy between the two large world economies.
“In a continent struggling to provide basic things such as clean water, road, education, etc, in terms of infrastructure development, the US hasn’t built anything tangible anywhere in Africa despite her big economy and influence. On the other hand, China is building projects across Africa from electricity to railways to airports, roads, and further awards scholarships to Africans.”
