The Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry Spokesperson has said China and Zimbabwe enjoy cordial relationship which dates to the liberation struggle when Zimbabwe was fighting the colonial regime.
The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said this during the Ministry’s Regular Press Conference on October 15, 2021.
The spokesperson was asked on information in Zimbabwe’s newspapers which revealed that the US government, through such means as funding relevant agencies in hosting seminars, is paying private media journalists 1,000 dollars for every story they publish to discredit Chinese companies who invest in Zimbabwe.
“China and Zimbabwe enjoy long-standing friendship. Chinese companies’ investment in Zimbabwe has played a positive role in promoting the country’s economic recovery and development and improving people’s livelihood. Our practical cooperation has delivered tangible benefits to the two peoples.” Zhao Lijian said
He added that, “What stands in clear contrast is that the US has long been imposing illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe, and using funds to corrupt media and fabricate negative reports on China at their behest. It is all too clear after comparison.”
“We urge the US to stop shouting empty slogans and speaking falsehood, and do more concrete things for African people, including those in Zimbabwe, so as to play a constructive role in Africa’s economic recovery and development.” Zhao added
