Some people say that Ethiopia is the China of Africa, because they are developing rapidly like China, and there are also some infrastructure projects undertaken by Chinese companies here, and here, you can see that the exchanges between China and Ethiopia are very close, but one is an African country, the other is an Asian country, how are these two countries related? In the world, if you look back carefully, you will find that China and Ethiopia already had certain representations in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the United States found many countries to go to war with Korea, for example, Ethiopia is one of them, Ethiopia after getting rid of Italian colonial rule, with the help of the United States to develop the military rapidly, so for the United States called for the Korean War, is also very supportive, the Emperor of Ethiopia at that time was very grateful to the United States, so in July 1951 arrived in Korea.
They only had a real chance to go to the battlefield in 1952, but as soon as they went to the battlefield, they confronted the Chinese Volunteer Army, that is, in the Battle of Shangganling, the Ethiopian army, which had been idle for a year, got this opportunity to go to the battlefield, and it was also very exciting, although in terms of firepower, the United Nations Army did have a very big advantage, but, unexpectedly, after the Ethiopian army went to the battlefield, only 7 hours, it was more than half of the casualties, which also made them completely change their views on the Chinese army.
When they originally went abroad to fight, Ethiopia was full of self-confidence, but they did not expect to return home with the defeat of the remnants of the army three years later, at this time they began to reflect on this war, thinking that there was no need to confront China, and at the same time, they also admired the Chinese volunteer army that could still fight bravely in this harsh environment, and later, they began to establish good relations with China, completely became China's fans, and have always admired China's excellent development speed, and have become a model for their efforts to develop. No wonder some people say that Ethiopia is the China of Africa.
