On March 19, Beijing time, an armed attack on a Chinese-funded private enterprise occurred in the Central African Republic, which has caused 9 deaths and 2 serious injuries to Chinese citizens.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded to the incident as soon as possible and issued a security reminder, calling on Chinese citizens and enterprises in high-risk areas in Africa to evacuate as soon as possible and maintain their own safety.
Was this vicious incident accidental?
Of course not!
There is a deep game behind it!
Who is playing with whom?
Let's first understand, what did this attacked Chinese-funded private enterprise do in China and Africa?
Open a gold mine.
Are there many gold mines in Central Africa?
The reserves are abundant. Moreover, the local mining power and capital are relatively lacking, so in recent years, many Chinese-funded enterprises have entered the gold mines in China and Africa.
Central Africa is a landlocked country in the middle of the African continent. In addition to gold mines, there are also a variety of mineral deposits such as diamonds, uranium, iron, limestone, nickel, manganese, chromium, tin, copper and mercury, and it can be said that the mineral resources are very rich.
It is said that countries with mines should be rich and oily?
Like those royal countries in the Middle East, because of oil, are they very rich?
However, Central Africa is one of the least developed countries in the world, and many ordinary people do not have enough to eat.
Why is Central Africa poor?
Because of its resources, it was plundered by France for nothing!
Historically, it was a colony of France. In 1885, the French invaded Central Africa.
Although Central Africa later became independent, economically, it has always been harvested by France.
In this Russian-Ukrainian war, the energy supply of European countries has been greatly affected, why is there nothing wrong with France?
Because France has nuclear power, the shortage of oil and gas will not affect such a big one.
Why are there so many nuclear power plants in France?
Because France has the capital to develop nuclear power: there are raw materials!
Most of France's uranium mines come from Niger and Central Africa in Africa.
Because the French were able to plunder African minerals, the old days were quite cool!
Some friends will wonder, since Central Africa is independent, why are they still exploited by the French?
Because countries like Central Africa have too thin a foundation and no industrial capacity, they can only rely on selling mineral resources to obtain income, and once the channel is controlled, they can only be controlled by others.
Moreover, the French had been operating in Central Africa for many years, and their entrenched forces were strong enough to control the government.
It will take time for the people of Africa to stand up completely.
In recent years, the French began to lose ground in Africa!
Why?
Because China has become the world's largest industrial country, China also needs minerals, and African countries doing business with China are no longer subject to the exploitation of France before, and Africans are certainly happy!
African countries have new options, what will happen to them?
Of course, it will not give the French a good face!
For example, not long ago, French President Macron visited four countries in Africa, and as a result, at the press conference in the Congo, he was intimidated by President Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo! I was also scolded by pointing at my nose!
All this shows that with the awakening of the African people, the West represented by the French forces has gradually been driven out of Africa, and the economic and trade exchanges between China and African countries are high sesame blossoms!
But in such an environment, why are Chinese enterprises being attacked to provide jobs for local people and create local taxes?
Some people may say that it is because the local security is not good, and there are many bandits in poor places.
It's not that simple!
Why do you say that?
Let's take a look at these pieces of information:
Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken went to Africa again, to two places.
One is Ethiopia.
The headquarters of the African Union, located in Ethiopia.
Another place is Niger.
That's kind of weird.
Because this is the first time in history that a US Secretary of State has visited this African country!
Blinken went to Niger, is he ready to do it?
Is it really ready to provide assistance, as the news says?
There is also an American dignitary, who has also recently gone to Africa.
U.S. Vice President Harris will visit many African countries at the end of March.
The first stop is Ghana, the second stop is Tanzania, and the third stop is Zambia.
Why did Harris, the first female vice president in U.S. history to have black and Asian descent, go to Africa?
U.S. Vice President spokesman Allen said Harris' agenda will include "promoting democracy," climate adaptation, women's economic empowerment and food security, among others.
It seems to be to "preach" and "relief"?
But a closer look at the countries Blinken and Harris are going to find out.
Niger, as mentioned earlier, half of France's uranium, comes from there;
Ghana, what was its name in colonial times? Gold Coast!
Tanzania, we are familiar with minerals, such as copper ore, iron ore and so on, there are not many of them. But it has graphite, nickel, lithium, cobalt and other minerals, and the reserves are very rich! It is the raw material used in clean energy such as photovoltaic, wind power and nuclear power!
Zambia is rich in mineral resources, especially copper mines!
Seeing this, do you feel that the United States is eyeing Africa's mineral resources?
The French lost in Africa, but the Americans, thinking of a quick entry!
Behind this, there is actually a big thing!
What's going on?
According to the Wall Street Journal on March 9, the United States and the European Union are moving forward with the drafting of a trade deal focused on critical minerals, creating a "club of buyers of critical minerals."
What does that mean?
With the G7 as the core, it is necessary to reach agreements with some countries rich in mineral resources in Africa, Asia and Latin America to "ensure the supply of raw materials."
To set up a super club to buy mines all over the world, isn't that to hold a monopoly and buy and sell?
Originally, your G7 are all industrial countries, and it is normal to ensure the supply of raw materials.
But is China the largest industrial country?
You huddle and exclude China, and against whom?
Everyone must be able to see it clearly!
Therefore, this incident in Central Africa really cannot be thought of as simple!
Someone is trying to mess with Africa!
Where there is Chinese in Africa, there is chaos!
This forces Chinese to retreat in Africa!
Back then, the British and French forces did some things in Africa that were not on the table!
For example, by providing support to local tribal forces to overthrow democratically elected regimes.
This kind of routine, they are too familiar!
So, is there anyone behind this attack on Chinese-funded enterprises in Central Africa? Very suspicious!
