The global south is moving closer to China, and United States politicians are impatient.
Recently, United States has broken its defenses a bit.
Senior diplomats in Singapore say the Global South is moving closer to China.
The Global South actually refers to the developing countries of Africa, Latin America, the Pacific Islands and Asia.
Many of them were colonized by the United States and the West before, so the level of economic development was not high.
However, things have changed over the years.
Between 2000 and 2012, the Global South's share of world trade rose from 35 per cent to 51 per cent.
It can be said that the attitude of the Global South is very important to the development of the world.
And they are now actively moving closer to China.
The United States has been ganging up to confront China every day, and as a result, such a large force now cooperates closely with China, which makes United States angry.
The US Deputy Secretary of State has recently publicly declared in the United States Congress that United States' influence in Africa and other places has lagged far behind China.
United States has to work hard to take Africa back.
Moreover, the reason why the United States Democratic Party pushed Harris to run is not only that her African-American status can attract the votes of immigrants and minorities, but also that it is conducive to improving the image of United States in the eyes of African countries.
However, the United States is so anxious, except for economic and trade issues.
Mineral resources in Africa and other places are also what the United States wants.
However, Western countries still regard Africa as a resource-providing colony.
Without developing local infrastructure, and regardless of whether the local people live or die, they basically buy those minerals at a very low price, and then sell them at a high price.
Therefore, many countries in Africa hate colonial countries such as the United States and Britain very much.
China is different.
China only wants to do normal business and does not want to colonize Africa.
When China cooperates with Ethiopia, Mali, South Sudan, Côte d'Ivoire and other countries.
China has continuously dispatched scientists, peacekeepers, and so on to help African countries solve various problems on the ground.
And, when Côte d'Ivoire wanted to build a bridge, a large number of Chinese companies were involved.
And the United States does not see a figure in this kind of project at all.
Last year, three Chinese companies and three Algeria companies signed a $7 billion deal that brought tens of thousands of jobs to the region.
Therefore, China's cooperation with African countries is essentially mutually beneficial, compared to the United States or a colonizer.
The Global South naturally prefers to work with China rather than United States.
