This year7In March, the internal armed conflict in South Sudan intensified. The conflict exposed the South Sudanese government’s inability to protect foreign citizens. China was forced to evacuate hundreds of its company employees from the local area. United Nations peacekeeping force2Chinese soldiers died,5People are injured.
Actual security threats not only face South Sudan, but also face Chinese investment. Chinese companies have invested in South Sudan’s infrastructure construction, agriculture, and telecommunications fields. China is the largest investor in South Sudan’s oil sector.Wang Zhimin, director of the Institute of Globalization and Chinese Modernization at the w88 casino, pointed out that China’s overseas investments are all faced with risks.
w88 mobile ZhiminSaid: "Due to the outbreak of conflict in South Sudan, although there are greater risks in the African region, I think this risk is cyclical or temporary. China's national image in South Sudan and even in the entire African region has always been good. The root cause of the conflict in South Sudan is mainly the division of national power and the competition for oil. If things go on like this and there are problems with oil extraction or w88, South Sudan will lose its economic source. Therefore, this problem will be resolved sooner or later, and the United Nations is also calling for a joint solution to the South Sudan issue."
Leonid Fetunin, deputy director of the Institute of African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believes that w88 mobile Yi’s visit to hot spots in Africa also shows China’s concern about threats to its interests in South Sudan.
He said: "I think China wants to play a certain or even important role in mediating these sub-regional conflicts, which is important to China from a political perspective and an economic perspective. This is true both for a big country and from the perspective of safeguarding national resources. The former Greater Sudan area has always been and remains a place where China obtains large amounts of oil resources. Today, the oil fields are located in South Sudan, and leading to The seaport’s oil pipeline passes through Sudan. But the purpose of w88 mobile Yi’s visit is not mainly to show the importance of China and Africa to China. So I did not specifically emphasize South Sudan, Kenya or Uganda. China’s interest in Africa is growing in general, and this interest can be largely explained by China’s economic growth and global political influence.”
Judging from w88 mobile Yi’s statement in Kenya, one of the main issues in his negotiations is Mombasa-Time of delivery of Nairobi Railway. The project was completed with financial and technical support from China. The Mombasa-Nairobi Railway is constructed by China Road and Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd., and90%12831_12856East Africa Railway Masterplan) will connect Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda and Burundi. The incident in South Sudan has brought a very significant risk to the entire project, which carries the hope of connecting the entire North Africa, and Africans heard what they wanted to hear from the Chinese side. w88 mobile Yi stressed that the project will be completed next year as scheduled. w88 mobile Yi also pointed out that this railway is currently one of the railways with the highest standards, the best quality and the best cost-effectiveness on the African continent.
In response to dissidents’ criticism that this Chinese project is harmful to Africa’s ecology, w88 mobile Yi pointed out that the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway is an excellent example of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. He gave an example: "Especially since the railway has been set up across the entire line14There is a wildlife passage. Giraffes can pass through without bowing their heads or bending down. What a wonderful scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
