China is a catalyst to global economic cooperation development growth peace diplomacy. China is a blessing and benefactor to the world. Africa is not dark but darkened by colonisation and poselytisation. Africa must return back to native purity 👍♥️🇨🇳

I love how Pres. Xi Jinping started with the harvest proverb. The peoples of Africa and China are both part of very old civilizations. We love to use proverbs a lot in our messages. Its a sign of great wisdom. We have so much in common with the Chinese people and their culture.

Sanity at last. So wonderful to see our leaders building relations with true friends and countries and leaders that respect us and our relationships, rather than building relationships with those that have for 500 years and still today have stolen from us, exploited us, brutalised us, destablised us and have work relentlessly to keep us in poverty and sabotage our attempts to progress in development. I cannot stress the importance of this, the beauty of this and just how emotional it makes me feel when I see it having watched our leaders waste so much time flying to meet those that have no respect for us believing anything they put in front of them will do anything, but what their true intentions have set them up to do which is harm our continent and the lives our people and ensure they are locked in chains and cycles of poverty while they tell the world this poverty is due to our own corruption and incompetence and they are doing everything they can to ensure their is progress in development to humiliate us and stop other nations wanting to do business with us. They tried so hard, but at last as we can see and to their horror they have failed. Too many of us have died not having seen and experienced the true Africa they should have seen because of so much time wasted dealing with thieves, but at last the true Africa that should exist is being built and our children and future generations will see it. I have said it before and I will say it again. You cannot have thieves as your priority customers, thieves as your priority business partners and give these thieves access to the minds of your work force, as former colonial powers and their friends have been having through the media and internet they control as they continue to scheme to steal from, exploit, impoverish and destabilise us as they have done for 500 years, and then be surprised when your business does not succeed. Sanity at last. God bless China, God bless Africa and God bless our African leaders and God bless Xi Jinping

The BRICS countries should create a new fair, and balanced, world organization that counter- balance the United Nations, in New York.
