The Chinese do not sell out and the Chinese do not sanction Africans!
Your friends will NEVER EVER place crippling sanctions on you!
Your friends lie in the enlightened East.
The historically and relentless ENEMIES of Africans lie in the West!
In the East, reside all the necessary technological advances that can assist African development at the moment.
Why continue to deal with racist enemies of Africans, who are only intent on their devilish Divide and Dominate and racist 'regime changes'?
The Chinese were there when Africans sought liberation from invading robbers, rapists, murderers, enslavers, colonizers and sodomizers.
And the NON-INTERFERING Chinese to this day remain steadfastly at the side of Africans. That's how we know the Chinese to be FRIENDS of Africans.
The Chinese do not sell out and the Chinese do not sanction Africans!
