| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In recent years, some Western media are so anxious to play up neocolonialism and bluntly label China neocolonialist.They are not only factually mistaken, but also logically misleading. The fact is that China's practice in Africa, which is based on equality, mutual benefit and reciprocity, is fundamentally different from that of the Western colonialists. Meanwhile, some Western media outlets are skillfully misleading the public by substituting the fake for the genuine, taking a part from the whole and employing double standards.An individual enterprise's behavior cannot represent a government's African policy and any country cannot guarantee all its enterprises perform as well as expected in Africa. Some Western media have turned a blind eye to the serious environmental destruction caused by Western giants' oil production in Africa. While for China, these media put the propaganda machine into high gear to exaggerate individual problems in Sino-African cooperation and groundlessly accuse the Chinese government for the responsibility of some Chinese enterprises' problems in Africa and even problems facing Africa in international cooperation.They seek to smear China's image and contain Sino-African cooperation. The accusation of neocolonialism is an extension of the West's intention to contain China. |
