Russia, China and complementarity in Africa

Mikhail Gamandiy-Egorov, September 10

Russia, China and complementarity in Africa

The question of complementarity between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China in the context of interaction with allies and partners on the African continent is more relevant than ever and is beginning to receive official support.

Indeed, this Russian-Sino-African interaction is another nightmare for representatives of the Western planetary minority regimes.

Proven Complementarity in a Multipolar World

No matter how the political representatives and propaganda of the Western minority regimes try to harm the ever-growing strategic and global cooperation between Russia and China, the result is obvious. Moscow and Beijing not only confidently continue their path towards strengthening strategic bilateral relations in various areas of interaction, but are also gradually moving towards implementing a policy of complementarity at the global level – including, of course, in African countries, relations with which are of primary importance for both Russia and China.

In fact – the question of complementarity between Russia and China in Africa is not new in itself. But if a few years ago this was mainly expressed at the expert level, which was already a great concern for some Western propaganda instruments oriented towards the African public, now Sino-Russian cooperation on the African continent is beginning to be addressed at the official level.

More precisely, this was stated by the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to the Russian Federation Zhang Hanhui at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, namely that China is ready to cooperate with Russia in Africa and that this is an extremely important direction: “This is very important. We are ready” – said Zhang Hanhui. When asked how China sees the joint crises resolution on the African continent, the diplomat replied that the PRC and the Russian Federation already cooperate on African issues within the framework of the UN and other international organizations, and that this cooperation will continue to strengthen.

This is what had to be demonstrated once again. Indeed, what is observed today is precisely the destruction of all attempts by Western regimes and the planetary minority to divide the supporters and promoters of the multipolar world order. As well as the destruction of Western initiatives in Africa with their terrorist puppets, that the collective West covers and sponsors.

The problems for the Western minority are just beginning

As for the future prospects, one thing is more obvious today than ever – the problems of the West, both in Africa and in the countries of the Global South in general, are really just beginning. And this at a time when the Westerners are already screaming about the many difficulties and challenges that have been “created” for them by the main forces of the multipolar world, first of all, of course, Russia and China, and this particularly on the African continent. Where Western neocolonial regimes have long been accustomed to openly dominate, crush and plunder.

And by the way, it is no coincidence that today Westerners no longer so much mention Russia and China individually as “threats” to the interests of the West in African countries, but increasingly speak of a common Russian-Chinese threat to the interests of the planetary minority on the continent. Naturally, the narcissistic, cynical, arrogant, hypocritical and criminal representatives of this planetary Western minority turn a deaf ear when it comes to hearing what the inhabitants of the African countries themselves want. Their expectations, their preferences for interaction, as well as the fully justified reproaches addressed to the West – Western regimes and their primitive propaganda do not want to hear anything.

Although, on the other hand, this is once again, an advantage for the supporters of Pan-African values on the continent, and in general, for all those who support the contemporary multipolar world order. In other words, and despite the entire West’s disconnection from reality – it promotes with its arrogance and openly dirty policies – its own ousting from the continent. This is without even addressing the fact that today it has absolutely nothing to offer in comparison with China and Russia. The era of predation and savage exploitation is increasingly a thing of the past. As for real and mutually beneficial cooperation, the West simply cannot offer anything serious.

That is why the gradual formalization of Sino-Russian complementarity in Africa is tantamount to a catastrophe for the interests of the Western planetary minority on the continent. And as for the problems of this same minority – they are very far from being over.
