countries to pick one side or another. he's essentially singling out america right there. instead, he said that africa should be a place for promoting that of economic development. siegel shush would african needs, the solidarity, and co operation, not confrontation, no country, no people have the right to force african countries and their people to take sides . africa should be a platform for international cooperation, not an arena for competition between major countries. nazi africa refuses to be seen as an arena for competing influence. we're open to cooperation and partnerships with everyone as long as their respect our principles, our priorities. now interests. the buttons were held with china is built on this principles. are china as top david about made his 1st stop in ethiopia, next on to gabon angola, benign and egypt is ultimately highlighting the importance of the partnership

between beijing and the entire continent. parties, africa correspondent, catabolic tattler has more on these a high level, meet and greets. well, as you know, he is a brand new, foreign minister of china. and he follows in a long line of traditions for chinese foreign ministers, especially with very with their relationship to the african continent. now this is mr. kins 1st visit and it's an opportunity for him to, to outlay some of china's plans and also strengthen economic ties with the 5 african countries that he will be visiting. but of course, he kicks off the trip, if you well by, by 1st least begin to the chairperson of the african union. mr. mohammed 14 mom, it, he is particularly looking to strengthen africa's position, especially among the calls that have been made for african union to be included as a permanent member of the g 20 group of nations. and of course,

this is an opportunity to speak about other modalities with regards to africa's place in international fora, such as the united nations and the world trade organization. but of course, the vivid is really more than just a symbolic visit if you will. there's an opportunity for china to engage with the said countries, namely at the opium. kane has played a very important role there with regards to bringing about peace, a use of their soft power if you will. and a t o p are following the, the outbreak of conflict in war, and that in that country will be looking for chinese investment to various solidify and rebuilds. the country and africa wide really has been, has been experiencing a credit crunch. following the coven 19 pandemic. and mr. king has been really at the eo at length to say that china will and remains a very important partner,

is very much trying to counter the american narrative that says that china is using what they call a palace. diplomacy where using investments and debt to accept african countries. and as they, it's very cynical because we know that african countries owe more debt to, to private fund managers, to private institutions, all of which come from the west. and that is the largest denominated foreign currency that, that africa still struggles with china is reading mice, trying to, to say that the united states should not be looking at china as an enemy on the continent. and he should not be using the african continent as a platform for competition, but rather development in the name of africans and african states. and that's how they see their relationship. these of the, the americans who are very conditional and come to the continent with expectations before they even put down any kind of trauma. and while cooperation between china

and african nations is certainly on the rise, america says that very cooperation is d, stabilizing the continent. the u. s. defense secretary made that claim last month at a summit of african leaders in washington were witnessing the purity, expand its footprint. ah, a on, on a continent on a daily basis, and that creates problems that will be eventually destabilizing if they're not already. or we see russia continuing to peddle cheap weapons, employing mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those activities by those 2 countries, i think for that bears watching. and certainly i think their influence again, can be the stabilizer. according to chinese affairs expert, andrew long, he says that his country's approach to africa is more holistic than that of various western professional partners. thomas engagement with africa. it's very different

from the west and looks at the relationship in a holistic way. he emphasis is always been on building infrastructure and it was capacity building for development help the these countries to develop and also costs with force. ready cars between china and africa, their so called democracy as defined by the united states is only a facade channel to excerpt americans in france to impose the americans more go on on other countries. regardless of the m, the stages of development, the internal political situation, the geography and so on, so forth. the african countries and other developing countries. they are more in debt to weston, commercial lenders, multiple times more than time. thomas become much more a prize and allow, in some sort of that lead,

but also taking into account all the stakeholders interest. but overall, these loans are here, as i said, to wants building infrastructure within the country and connecting these countries to other neighboring countries. it would bring a lot of economic progress. well, china and countries in africa, not the only ones challenging the current global order. india's finance minister believes it's obsolete to divide states between the 1st and 3rd world, saying that all nations must be treated equally. a comments came at the voice of the global south summit, a 2 day event saved in new delhi with more than a 100 countries represented from asia, africa, and south america. we strongly believe that there should not be any 1st word or a 3rd word. god jest one word with a shared understanding what a common future you know, 1st

a why is india hosting of this to dave war? sure. summit wise of global south. it's essentially because. 6 india wants to take forward the ideas and views, and then it gets from the countries as a global south and take it forward. on the g 20 platform i went in there for sell will be hosting will lead as i later in the year in september. but when we're talking about global south, which is largely the developing world, also largely under representative on the global map. so to see i went in there wants to do is it wants to take ideas and views from that and take it on the builder platform. and of course, india feels that it is at a unique juncture at this time, considering it will be of course, hosting war leaders. either the c r orphan becomes very important because as far as the global south is concerned, it has been impacted by the conflict and ukraine and the subsequent western sanctions. more than perhaps the rest of the world. and which is why it becomes

more important. in fact, i minister 9 or more the spoke earlier to while ago, and then our little session. now since judy the support bid each other in our white against pardon rule. we can do it again in this vent, judy grid. i know a work order that women shaw the very brown. aha. i want to seduce. there was mister warden talking about creating a new world order where the voice of gilbert solved should also be given equal importance. in fact, as far as the summit is concerned, we are seeing participation from several countries also the prime minister, long lavish, as well as the president of sri lanka, rhonda victor missing. he will be participating in the studio summit are also as

far as the other countries are concerned, that i want to be several sessions at ministerial levels as well. of finance ministry as well as education and environment. other sectors that we are talking about. but it becomes extremely important, this particular summit, the today is summit wise of global salads. and that india has taken initiate, evolve. also because india feels that as a developing country, each channel be present, the war is off the global south, largely at the world map for bringing you some live pictures right here. just behind me, your analogy international is a protest at a coal mine looking to expand and western germany has devolved into violence, environmental activist clash with obese. the demonstrators of a demand at a stop h to the project and to return to more eco friendly policies like these a life. because right now about quarter past 3 in the afternoon, veronda plus 10 degrees celsius. i want to reaffirm the united states iron

clad commitment to defend japan with the full range of capabilities including nucular. it is hard to overstate the importance of the u. s. japan alliance for more than 7 decades. it's been the cornerstone of peace and stability in the in the pacific ensuring the security by leslie back on track here on out international independent journalist charlie boyle joining us a live on the program. charlie, let's talk about this. so this coal mine in the days of when i was trying to go green 1st and foremost, a very warm welcome to you, great to have you on the program. what, what do you think of this job? he wants to, to dig up the black gold while trying to go green at the same time. he has the whole eco friendly agenda now taken a back seat. charlie. well, not really taking a back seat as much as there is never policies. and there is another example of how green policies are really media found lights, and there was never any days to really probably transition.

and like i said before, the holes in europe and we've now got an energy shortage approach problem. and this really goes back to 510 to go away, which i mean, we really want to get rid of co property. we should have been thinking about nuclear power stations that point rather than now. now i'm, i'm agreeing investor by the way in renewables as a more sort of long term plan. so i do have to stay with all these schools this, but we have to accept now, especially the next 12 months, because next we're just going to be the same way that we're going to have to have an energy mix. i'm not, will me a certain degree of fossil fuel stroke co in bold or not mix on that doesn't happen in germany. it's going to happen in all the other countries. effects going to be negligible. so was like, especially i agree with the calls in principal,

people like you know, on and stuff and it needs to be much more of a long term solution. well, you to, i mean, charlie, you talk about people, they need to vote on all this. i'm and you know, ok, i get it, you're a great investor, you know, doesn't some empathy, you've got here and fair enough, but europe is now essentially, as you said in a bit of an energy crisis, it's now it's not going to have to buy l n. g from america for about 4 times the price is there in some way. it's europe being backed into a corner in some way and almost scrambling to find new sources of energy. now absolutely, this is, this started almost a year ago and the situation just exactly. but it's really sort of glad you're excited because the whole idea about sanction braun was to try and move away from natural gas from russia. certain other countries, all it started ha ha, price almost directly and now they're struggling to get through this winter. nice.

so yeah, i mean, when i say i'm going to start talking about long term and yes, there's absolutely no chance in next year. the reason solve any of these problems. so there will have to be some, some gas and some oil with that. but when you like it along with charlie, you know, it's one thing also to tell people to get out there and vote certainly some of feeling a little bit entrapped by politics these days are various politicians are essentially, of course choosing the policy that is all running downhill and affecting everyday people like you or me basically, inflation going through the roof, energy prices going through the roof. what is, what is the right step? do you think it is it to get the people involved to address that? the guys who are in charge of the politicians here, it seems to me and many other people that, that the power of the people, particularly in germany and europe, has just been taken away. i think the system and the system of democracy is something i've been talking about quite a few years now. it's far from there,

but in terms of the strategy, it needs to be, i mean, we need to start thinking, i'm clear, right? if we really want to make sense in the world, i can't see how we can solve this in the next 6 months. i mean, when i talk about posting it's, it's, it's more aware of it. it's not even just about changing to a changing the culture and how people deal with creation. so everything together, but it's all just mix messaging with what you're saying, no more gas, russia, and this whole switch to renewables. but at the same time, the financing gas on the list seems to be something that's going to have to go on for at least a year. so the need to really come up with the plan, the u. k. for example, the subsidies that used to pretty much run out in march and they're gonna have to extend it because otherwise business is not going be able to afford to stay afloat

. and apparently they're doing it now. so yeah, it's, it's all about awareness. appropriate transition of a plan, like i said before, but charlotte, there's also this concern about europe becoming di, industrialized a lot of massive refineries and workshops in factories. they don't have their energy, they can't operate, they have nothing to output to a new product coming from the factory door these days are, you know, then you've got european politicians who the past 68 months have gone to cut out with their caps in hand, asking for good, cheap gas from over there right now. and then you've got germany committed to phasing out coal by 2038 or earlier you put the 2030 sustainable agenda. i mean, how much of this is politicking and how much of this is just real pain? for the average european taxpayer. yeah, i mean, i think it's but and if you look at us, for example, you got less when government is trying to come up renewables, but at the same time,

part of america pretty much for me in climate change. so from a practical point to be, i completely understand the politicians are stuck. i guess it is absolutely going to have an effect. but we have to make a switch at some point because we will ask some point, but we've got to have jobs to replace it or not the very long term. i've been talking about 2 years. and since last conference, molly, except that journalist charlie bowl joining i said, live on the program on our international. always great to see you. thanks for thanks for your time and input. thanks jerone. we're like to ask about your company for this program. life from moscow, america has said its military is fully committed to defending japan, including with its nuclear arsenal of the us defense secretary and the secretary of

state. lead out the path to washington is willing for take. i want to reaffirm the united states iron clad commitment to defend japan with the full range of capabilities including new killer. it is hard to overstate the importance of the u . s. japan alliance for more than 7 decades. it's been the cornerstone of peace and stability in the in the pacific ensuring the security, the liberty, the prosperity of our people and people across the region. or the statements are by american officials are made of a press conference held with japan's foreign minister and the country. it vanish, minister in washington, the secretary of state states that the u. s. japanese partnership maintain peace in the region. of course, despite the nuclear bombing over japanese cities, over hiroshima, not like as ocoee. that of course, was 1945 minutes at the u. s. secretary of state also called for intensified efforts against china, calling it a serious challenge for both countries. those, as well as the joint build up of sanctions against russia. meanwhile, japan is analysis intention to double the countries military spending by 2027

contributing to the transformation of the country's military sect. i think we need to learn a bit more about this. nelson wong, coming on the program live, the vice chairman of shanghai sent us a written pack and international studies also a valid i clot beck's, but great to see you today. so thanks very much for coming on the program you've been listening to this story and to the statements what, what do you make of the statements of anthony blinkin and lloyd austin is it's pretty tough talk from washington, and it's pretty worrying. frankly, it is worrying actually, and i think the rest of the world is, is also aware of what's going on at the moment. and i think the us japan military lines is now being further johnson and as, as publicly known. but let's do not forget the status of japan. it is a defeated country during the 2nd world war. all that is received due bombing of

nuclear weapons by the us. so, so nowadays, japan has, you know, by, by its own effort, in collaboration or under the glass of the united states, has broken its restriction was in the constitution to limit its military capabilities. only for self defense. it is, it is changing and it's changing very fast. and i think we should all be quite aware of that. nelson anthony blanket. know the secretary of state. he says that for more than 70 years, the partnership between america and japan has brought stability to the region. how would you, how would you assess that statement? well, what does he mean by stability in the region?

the region has always been stable. the west pacific region has been stable after the 2nd world war in general. right, and i think what the u. s. it's trying to say is that they are trying to contain china's development on this development is quite peaceful. it's for domestic economic development, and it's economic expansion globally, is also for the good of the rest of the world. china, it's not posing any 4 at to any country. so this fabricated. china is something that has been corrected to, to serve some other purpose to is by the people provoking it this. i wanted to pick you up on that. i wanted to pick you up on that because you know, so it was, what exactly is the china threat nelson? me, let's just go back a few years, shall we? we, you know, when it comes to, i guess, the western press and western politicking you've had. so many years you had the

threat of communism. then you have the threat of drugs, the war on drugs, then you have the threat of terror. you know, the war on terror. some people say that when you are the ruling hedge, one of the world, you actually have to manifest problems to then to explain your reason to police those problems. and i mean we've got countless military base is lining up the eastern coast of china. these days. you talk about this or you don't talk about it . the american politicians talk about this, this china threat. when was the last time china invaded another country nelson? well, let's look at, you know, all the history books. and the answer is quite clear. a china has never invaded other countries, so it's being, it's being a totally fabricated term, this china to basically, i think the china threat is being created to, to try to, to create a fear for the rest of the world in order to contain china's development and this

is, this is why, right? and that the us, it's trying to maintain. it's, have you had you money over the world, trying to, to maintain its position as being the world's only policeman. but the world is changing and has the us actually brought peace and stability to the rest of the world. let's look at what happened in iraq in syria, in, in africa as well. so in so many parts of the welding are going to start as well. so i think the answer is very clear, right, that china is not the right great. nelson, i want to say i've only got time one more question and just bear with me. i appreciate your patience and it's pretty good to have you on the program on this thursday here at our see we've had, we've had a commentary from some officials from langley virginia and the pentagon. and the cia basically saying that the, what they call that successful playbook that they've been using in ukraine should

now be thrown over to the asia pacific, where whatever the u. s. playbook watching ukraine should now be implemented in the asia pacific. what's your thought on back nelson? well, i look at this as from a different, i didn't go, i think people in, in america or people we other western countries. is that correct? they amplify this china threat in order to get money to, to spend on military expenses. i think it's all about money. it's not about the actual threat or not. know it's, it's about money. well, i think an awful lot of people would agree with you on that. as, as many people say, big business rules, the de, nelson wong, the vice chairman of the shanghai sent f, a rim path and international studies. also a valid i club experts. so good to have you on. thanks for your time. thank you.

thank you. and thank you for your time as well. and joining us here for the show live from moskowitz, r t international. we are back soon with. ah ah ah
