say about the fact that in africa china has already replaced the former soviet influence. well, with the exception of a number of states where prigozhyn is trying to do something, but since he is trying to do it on behalf of a private military campaign, then this indicates, i think, the insecurity of russia we have to understand for ourselves and what do we offer to china and so in 2021, in the category of countries of economic partners according to export and import indicators, ukraine was number one, that's right , as of today, we have had no ambassadors to china for 25 months, this is a strategic approach, even if a former minister is appointed there of strategic industries this approach will not become strategic because a certain amount of time will pass from the decree on the appointment of the ambassador to his arrival in beijing, as a rule, it is several months well, as experience shows, various different embassies, depending on how much a person is willing to go and as far as i understand , we still do not have so many sinologist specialists at the moment, well, in

busy zation and of course, security charges was 3 more economical lies is included was china, africa, china, are china, larger american, china, central asia. so i think, you know, in the economic global as you have to go back to the basics, the economic organization will prevail because that's really bad and bunch of everybody and i, we have to, we will see. so you know, the banks collapsing you as in europe we will have to really come to the basics. i'm not really fighting this geopolitical or let's, let's go back, let's stop the war and let's really pursue peace that they can. um, go position. it's not perfect, but let's see, let's see has on is turned in the joe and, and that's worked together that's most important. and also what was the you quin, russian conflict? let's get you 7 know, 5 plus the use. you can't talk and lots of a few somebody. i mean the, you umbrella. that's make things move or not, not really have to start some. very interesting. it does feel like i'm sorry, we're gonna have to leave it there that, but i do feel like we're seeing awhile now where economics is perhaps

africa? knew why the friends, china has been very disappointed in terms of building infrastructure. i didn't, didn't necessarily when, when diplomatic approach that been, if you, what africa in china. and if you look at what happened from russia, assembly blending reporting to prison of russia, clearly stated about $20000000000.00 will definitely live law for countries. this is something that africans are celebrated. so i don't know what to do is to try and come and do what do the best of my knowledge. i don't think dish is as big any big, strong, positive outcome, but i'm not getting it just purely one sided driven by dell one. so interest, even ident, out of africa. so duck is not that much you've done. is it one sided relationship in relationship, but only when it benefits them is when they what, when, when it doesn't been, if you them didn't go rigid. ah, now here in president mohammed will, hardy has urged us citizens to share their food. but those in need a had of ramadan, as the country suffers from sky rocketing prices. the leader went on to condemn unscrupulous fellers who h

i think i used to be on africa, knew why the friends china has been very disappointed in tons of different infrastructure. i didn't, didn't necessarily when, when diplomatic approach that been, if you bought africa and china, and if you look at what happened from russia recently brought him to putting to prison of russia. clearly stated about $20000000000.00 of dep live law for countries. this is from do not africans are celebrated. so i don't know what to do as a time to come and do, but to the best of my knowledge, i don't think visual as big any big, strong positive outcome from dot net in just purely one sided and driven by their own self interests. even ident, out of africa. so that is not that much you've done. is it one sided relationship in relationship, but only when it benefits them is when they're what, when, when it doesn't benefit them, didn't go rigid. ah, nigerian president mohammed bihari has urged his citizens to share their food with those in need ahead of ramadan. as the country suffer from skyrocketing prices, the leader went on to condemn unscrupulous sellers who have

but beyond what you had to think in africa used to be, and africa knew why the friends, china has been very supportive in terms of building infrastructure. i've given the necessary when, when the pro much approach that been, if you want africa and china, and if you look at what happened from russia recently, bloody reported to president of russia. clearly stated about $20000000000.00 of debt relief, africa countries. this is something that africans us deliberately. so i don't know what you as a tried to come and do what to the best of my knowledge. i don't think there's any very strong positive outcome from that meeting. it just still went to go on the same way that until, until the lincoln was. yeah. you somewhere that the, you know, just the secretary for africa was yeah, nothing you know was a chief significantly that's dim, seems to from the time i don't see any positive outcome from the comment kamala is i don't see how bringing in newton. no compared to what's going on. a 2nd groups of africa i would watch. and what else? the response from the african public been like t b u. s. d

africa. this is not a competition with china, and it seems that africa will be a stage for many more months to come. if not years, that the superpowers will be locked in some sort of diplomatic war here as it tries to win favor and friends. but the u. s. has a lot of catching up to do, and they may be joining in this fight. already. a beck foreman, nigerian presidential aspirant, and on the goth essays, washington is not actually looking for any sort of mutually beneficial cooperation with africans is all about destruction our associates on if you look at even the going to the choose in east south and western africa most of these countries are the countries where the and to west sentiment is very, very high, tanzania. we'll look the way just to do with our chinese debt. and if you call back to gonna most of their sufferings on the challenges they're tracing regarding the inflationary guardianship crazily by the fuel prices and rising cost of living is clearly blame on the m a dept which is also of course for him to buy the u. s, it'll go back to them the near the same problem. so i don't know

charles was 3 more economical lies is included was china, africa, china, our channel, larger american, china, central asia. so i think, you know, in the ad but economical as you will have to go back to the basics. the economic globalization will prevail because that's really bought bread and butter of everybody and i, we have to, we will see. so, you know, the banks collapsing the u, as in europe, we will have to really come to the basics. i'm not really fighting this geopolitical or let's, let's go back, let's stop the war and let's really pursue piece that they come. amicable position . not perfect, but let's see, let's see on the stand in the w. w. joe and, and that's walk together that's most important. and also what was the you quinn, russian conflict. let's get you 7 know, 5 plus the use you can to talk. and lots of of, you saw me. i mean the, you umbrella, that's make things move or not, not really have to start some. very interesting. it does feel like i'm sorry, we're gonna have to leave it there that, but i do feel like we're seeing a while now where economics is perhaps tru

but beyond what you had to think in africa used to be on the africa knew why the friends china have do very disappointed in terms of building infrastructure i given didn't necessarily when, when diplomatic approach that benefit what africa and china. and if you look at what happened from russia recently brought him to put into prison of russia. clearly stated about $20000000000.00 of dep live graphic. i'm currently, this is from do not africans, actually britain. so i don't know what to do as a tried to come and do what to the best of my knowledge. i don't think visual as big any big, strong positive outcome from dot net in just purely one sided and driven by their own self interest. even ident, out of africa. so that is not that much you've done. is it one sided relationship in relationship, but only way it benefits them is when they what, when, when it doesn't been, if you them didn't go rigid, ah, russia on the u. s. have verbally clashed at the latest, the un security council meeting, where moscow and keys the world's chemical weapons watchdog or failing to objectively investigate

after china, africa, will we soon be talking about that shine arctic. china believes that time is on its side. and now dreams openly about achieving superpower status. ah. but this story really began here in shanghai. far away from the arctic. the metropolis on the east china sea coast is threatened by the melting of the arctic ice pack flooding has become a regular occurrence here. and the effects of global warming mean the situation is getting worse. in future, rising sea levels could leave parts of shanghai permanently under water. for years, the chinese have presented this argument at international conferences. beijing says it's obliged to be active in the arctic to help save the climate. this you will be a watch which climate change global warming and the melting of the arctic ice don't just have an impact on our climate. they also have direct effects on china's agriculture, aquaculture and lifestyle. breeding should come. so that's why china is actively taking part time in combating climate change in the arctic to their waterloo. while climate protection is a valid concern, tha

s. vice president is going to sway some nations in africa to lean towards the u. s. or the china. what do you think the outcome of this visit is going to be? i think the outcome will be nothing because does when you talk about coaching a southern country, africa is not a contract because 4554 country. and they're diverse in their own nature. diverse and they city diverse and language culture. but if you look at kamala, here it is visiting ghana, which is part of a lot. and then it was just for the east africa community and then via which is part of the static community. and what they're, the biggest discussion is going to be debt restructuring, because if you look at them, be the 1st african country to default on the sovereign debt. they're uncovered. 19 and is working. must have been credited or who are the chinese that are gonna have his own challenges right now as we speak, hasn't had district issues as basically just have to tell him this. and them be a now had issues with a lot of gifts with china. but what africa one africa has that sitting down as individual countries and de

we lost already -- to africa. to china, and latin america i think you're probably headed there rachel. but we're headed same direction of latin america. >> absolutely you brought up a great point if you see latin america what's interesting is exactly what you say. our state department is investing in lbgtq, rights climate making poor people in central america really worried about the climate right now. you know this is stuff we're invested in china and we doesn't mean we have to extract resources way that chinese are but many of the companies in latin america will say, that our government isn't our state department isn't interested in advancing u.s. latin american commerce which would be a great way to -- >> things that really matter for those countries. to upset and we don't want to work with china but who else are regoing work with you're not here. >> what we're delivering them is kamala harris right now all of the foreign trips have gone great but you have info for us. >> today honduras is opening up and severing ties w

ah, it was as if the americans had suddenly woken up to the fact that after africa, china might target the arctic in its race to become a global superpower. beijing claims to be a near arctic state that the shortest distance between china, the arctic, is 900 miles. there are only arctic states and not arctic states. no 3rd category exists, claiming otherwise entitled china to exactly nothing. it was a very, very aggressive speech that had never been given before in our to council setting that there is never been anything like that. or pentagon warn, just last week the china could use its civilian research presence in the arctic to strengthen his military presence, including our deployment summary, including deployment of submarines to the region as a deterrent against nuclear attack. for china, from a nuclear security point of view, the optic is china's vulnerable bechtel. the arctic ocean is important for china is china could gate a nuclear missile. i'm submarine and an arctic ice that would provide as he can strive to terrance the china. well collect your letter to more than 50. mere

we spoke to a senior research fellow at the center for africa, china studies who says that france cannot be trusted to leave africa. because the former colonial power still depends on the continents resources. i think prism upgrades is big trouble. and the trouble starts from yeah, that he's now over a see you want managing the eroding influence of france in africa. it started with our policy where the old of announced the debt of process, which is really not true. the public statement of it looks really nice. but the reality of pulling out of africa is really much more painful. and i don't think until we can see the prove in the put in there's no way to trust the french. and in fact, the evidence is already very clear. mean french companies pulled a great deal of resources from africa. it's a huge loot that the con, really bypass, and they've been feeding on. it was so long. it is difficult. it's like a drug addiction that so don't take time for them to get rid of. and so we can't trust what they say. and let's see some proof french captain faced up to its failure to really have taken a

but a true partnership with africa minster would talk about and consult on elements of trying to engage on the elements of china's engagement concern us include and in the technological, economic, military and global governance domains. but discuss these types of issues with our partners all around the world. and in vice. president's maintenance in africa will be no different. the vice president is to meet with the leaders of gone tanzania and zambia with the white house. i thing harris will address china is engagement in debt restructuring, as well as other economic issues. and so the cooperation doing tool well, the vice president visit follows a flu of others of top us officials with secretary of state anthony lincoln and treasury secretary john it's yellen. also, having visited africa since the year began, the trip comes as washington seeks to counter the rising influence of russia and china in africa with both moscow and beijing. recently, having made diplomatic tools to the continent, international policy consult, and uncle and new york. i says how some africans have reacted to the upcoming us officials vis

it is cobalt, it is rare earth minerals and then it is also, africa is very rich in a lot of natural resources. that is why china 10 years has been buying up not only african leaders, buying up more and more companies in africa. they're not employing africans to run the companies, giving jobs to africans, they're bringing chinese in. they have a presence on the ground in every one of these countries. not chinese military, chinese economic presence in all of these countries. did the same thing in south america. they have done the same thing in indopacific region. the chinese moved out all over the world and they know that the growth of the world economy in the next 20 years is not going to come from europe or even asia. it is going to come from the global south. it will come from africa. it is going to come from south america. coming from southern indough pacific countries. china is already in the countries. if the vice president of the united states so going there to talk about her woke ideology it will fall on very tinners. stuart: thank thank you, kt mcf. see you soon. >> thank you, stu. stuart: this is relate

we spoke to a senior research fellow, the center for africa, china studies. he says it funds can be trusted to leave africa because it's still depends on the confidence resources. i think praise them are grown is in big trouble, and the trouble starts from j d that he's now over. i see you want managing. the eroding influence of france in africa is started with start posey, where the old of announced the death of frost creek, which is really not true. the public statement of it looks really nice, but the reality of pulling out of africa is really much more painful than don't think until look and see the proof in the pudding. there's no way to trust the french, and in fact, the evidence is already very clear. mean french companies pulled a great deal of resources from africa. it's a huge con, really bypass, and they've been feeding on it for so long. it is difficult. it's like a drug now it's an addiction that they'll take time for them to get rid of. and so we can't trust what they're saying. unless we see some pro france have faced up to its failure to really

losing the battle against tara elsewhere in the world, it was china that lead investments to new j as part of its belt and roads in africa initiative. china has made significant investments in the j. so does the american government one to be in the j already having failed the sa hell region and security or investments? the mission is clear as mud. it even confuses senior american politicians in the senate. i didn't know there was a 1000 troops and monsieur, this is an endless war without boundaries. and no limitation on time. on geography . we don't know exactly where we're route in the world militarily and what we're doing. but perhaps the american resurgence is not led by what's image here, but rather what's under it, leg of neighbors that i how country is blessed with mineral resources. and it's too significant uranium mines provide nearly 5 percent of the world's output from africa's highest all of uranium. what we know for certain is that americans are led by fear of losing grounds to their adversaries and bed is fueling the resurgence and is rebranding one. no confident before the month of march ends, the biden adm
