and the chinese are not imperialists
So does your Ethiopia, which has had emperors and empires. So what? Now China does not have those emperors and empires, again, just like your Ethiopia does. What about the West you seem to be quick in bringing them to the limelight. Once upon a time, the Europeans had colonies primarily in Africa. They may not have those colonies anymore, but they showed up as neocons with a vengeance using their monitory power in the form of illegal sanctions against nations who refuse to toe in their selfish and greedy "My way or the highway" mentality. On the other hand, China does not sanction any country or interfere in any country's internal affairs. I hope you can see the daylight difference between the two groups, ayte Diboutian pretender.Zack wrote: ↑17 May 2023, 08:52and the chinese are not imperialists

Absolutely. China is another imperialist with a different face
In addition, China is just broadening its coverage in Africa, but it knows it's not benefiting from Eritrea as much as it is from other African countries, as Eritrea does not possess in large amounts the raw materials and energy that China desperately needs to support its industrial and economic growth. Neither is China interested in having a second military base a few miles from Djibouti. Unless Eritrea is interested in having Chinese industrial parks to exploit Eritreans and generate a few buck for Eritrean workers.
Apart from that, to me, this visit only serves to provide Isaias with a sense of breathing out from his protracted isolation.
Ok, we get it!China is imperialist, but every country still should've cordial relations with it & in various ways gain from its burgeoning economic superpower status.....except for the country called Eritrea.
Why should China bother with all this, if what it gains from Eritrea is miniscule?
Are you ok ? Cool down ! My uncle is doing an excellent job as usual and we are happy with him. Why do you feel angry,frustrated and threatened ?Somaliman wrote: ↑17 May 2023, 13:06Zack wrote: ↑17 May 2023, 08:52and the chinese are not imperialists

China is not bird-brained like you; it focuses on the bigger picture. About 18 years ago, China clearly stated that its economic interaction with Africa was purely based on the concept of give and take and no longer on doctrine, as it helped a few countries in the past due to the fact that these countries were subscribed to the Communism ideology.Why should China bother with all this, if what it gains from Eritrea is miniscule?





Eritrea Joins The Belt And Road Initiative
By Chris Devonshire-Ellis

Nov 28, 2021
The north-east African country Eritrea has signed an MoU with China to join the Belt And Road Initiative. The MOU was signed on November 25 by the Chinese Ambassador Cai Ge and Eritrea’s Foreign Minister Osman Saleh. Eritrea is strategically important as it has access to the Red Sea, the Suez Canal and to Europe, as well as to waters in the Arabian Gulf and on towards the Indian Ocean.
The country covers 117,600 square kilometres, with an estimated population of 4.5 million. The national GDP is about US$6.4 billion (PPP) with a GDP per capita of about US$2,000. The economy depends mainly on agriculture, although some industrialization is taking place. Eritrea’s main agricultural products include sorghum, millet, barley, wheat, legumes, vegetables, fruits, sesame, linseed, cattle, sheep, goats, and camels. Remittances sent back to Eritrea from abroad by overseas labourers account for about 32% of GDP and remain an important part of the economy with many being based in the Gulf. What needs to happen is to gradually bring that trained labour back to Eritrea to develop infrastructure in their own country and wean it off an agricultural base to a higher standard of industrialisation. China’s involvement will also help stabilise the country, as China’s relations with neighboring Ethiopia are also important to Beijing. Ethiopia and Eritrea have had an on-going conflict for several years with occasional flare ups. Beijing will be putting pressure on both to find solutions.
Eritrea’s cooperation is expected to cement China’s presence in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea, with interests ranging from a military base to protect shipping, in addition to infrastructure projects in ports and railways.
China has been investing in the country for some time. In late 2019, the China Shanghai Corporation for Foreign Economic and Technological Cooperation (SFECO) began construction of part of the 500 km road connecting Eritrea’s Massawa and Assab harbours, both of which possess Special Economic Zones.
However, Eritrea is not yet a member of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) which has eliminated border tariffs between all other African nations. This can probably be expected to change with Chinese influence and desire to see trade increase – China’s exports to Eritrea were just US$71 million in 2020, and Eritrean exports negligible, partially due to the Ethiopian conflict. Nonetheless, the country retains its strategic importance on the Red Sea.
