The rise of a country is called development, the rise of a group of countries is called win-win, China is such a country: "I" rise, of course, to pull "you". Who is this "you"? How do so many countries guess, let's be honest, this country is Uganda.
China and Uganda
When China has money, it does not forget to reach out and pull and help Uganda, a "black friend", what happened to the result of China's kindness and help? Uganda has developed, but it has "kicked" China's good friend into the corner.
Good friends, hand in hand, as a result, Uganda "flew solo", "abandoned" China, betrayed China, Uganda canceled cooperation projects with China on railways, cooperated with Turkey, France is a country that "flies do not bite seamless eggs", took the opportunity to intervene, China-Africa friendship was tested?
Cross the river to tear down bridges, unload grinding and kill donkeys
The mainland's infrastructure work can be said to be a blockbuster, which has been unanimously praised by various countries and praised by the people of the world without hesitation. That specifies yes no.
China has provided assistance to Uganda
China is still pursuing excellence as always, as calm as ever, other people's praise is just the icing on the cake, not the driving force for China's development forward, strive to improve its international status, help a bunch of other countries by the way, isn't Uganda in Africa a good example?
Uganda is located in East Africa, the full name is the Republic of Uganda, can be said to be one of the least economically developed countries in the world, on October 18, 1962, China and Uganda became good friends for cooperation, since the establishment of equal diplomatic relations between the two countries, China has assisted Uganda in many aspects.
China's assistance has been a blessing for Uganda and has greatly promoted Uganda's underdeveloped economy.
Uganda High-Speed Railway
The Ugandan people said from the bottom of their hearts: "The National Presidential Avenue has ended the history of our absence of highways." China is the country with the most high-speed mileage in the world, and Uganda's national guest road is completed with China's assistance.
"Breeze, very refreshing, winding along the KE highway, spacious road, smooth traffic, soft and comfortable light...". This is a recent news release by Uganda's largest newspaper "New Scenic News", which shows how convenient this highway has brought to the Ugandan people.
In addition to the highway, China's assistance to Uganda is also reflected in the revitalization of Entebbe International Airport.
Uganda International Airport
The international airport, the only one in the entire country of Uganda, was built in 1974 and is about to "protest" because of the ageing of its infrastructure.
What if the international airport is no longer able to meet Uganda's growing air transport needs?
Uganda thought of the "bullish" China, so it asked China to help, and the airport modification and expansion project currently undertaken by Chinese companies will change Uganda's embarrassment, and the completion date is July 5, 2024.
China has been cooperating with Africa and Uganda in an orderly manner, because China's infrastructure work is really ingenious, so it has provided Uganda with a lot of assistance in construction, but recently Uganda has completely ignored its deep friendship with China, made ungrateful things, and chose to betray China. What exactly has Uganda done?
Uganda is ungrateful, betraying China
"Black friends" who want white
In 2012, the Ugandan government submitted a loan request to the mainland, hoping that China could contribute enough funds for Uganda to build a railway for its country, and China did not hesitate to help Uganda in the face of Uganda's request in order to take into account the deep friendship with Uganda, but the Ugandan government uncharacteristically did something that chilled the mainland.
Uganda tore up the contract to build a railway project with the mainland, the right to build the railway has been entirely Chinese since 2015, and the cost of the railway is financed by China.
In December 2022, the Ugandan government suddenly and unilaterally announced the termination of the railway construction project contract with China.
Uganda unilaterally broke the treaty
Is the Ugandan government "brain cramping or is it the wrong one"? China is the "main force" in the construction of this railway, why did Uganda suddenly choose to tear up the agreement? What kind of truth is hidden behind this?
In fact, things are far from as complicated as we think, the reason is simple, because of a move by the mainland - cancel the financing to Uganda, China's move can be described as harming Uganda's interests, could have been "white", now the opportunity for "white" is gone, Uganda this "scoundrel" will certainly not be happy, so against China's move immediately counterattacked.
In the beginning, Uganda was grateful for China's assistance to its country, but China's assistance to Uganda was too much.
China sent experts to breed hybrid rice for Uganda
On November 19, 2022, China sent nine experts from Sichuan to Uganda to study agriculture, and in the previous two "South-South cooperation" projects, China sent a total of 50 experts and technicians to conduct field visits to improve Uganda's food security.
Robert, a local farmer near Uganda's Budaka district, has become a veritable hybrid rice cultivation expert under the hands-on training of Chinese experts, he said: "China has helped us grow high-yield rice, China's hybrid rice is amazing, thanks to the experts sent by China, thank you to the Chinese people's government."
Hybrid rice
The experts sent by China have solved Uganda's major livelihood problems, and China's assistance is innumerable, and over time, China's assistance is taken for granted by them.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Uganda is not enough to "make cheap", not only is it not enough but also "addicted", China's actions make it have no opportunity to "eat for nothing", so it can only give China a "dismount", hoping that China can continue to assist its country.
Don't you want to stop me from making money if you don't give me money? So Uganda tore up its agreement with China and transferred the contract for the railway construction project to Turkey.
Uganda white China
Uganda's move is obviously to let China as "Party A" to pay, but also want China as "Party A" to contribute, China to pay for Uganda to build a railway, Uganda is really "ugly, want to be beautiful", China is not a "big fat" that people can climb at will, whoever wants a bite will take a bite.
Is China-Africa friendship facing a test?
Uganda is ungrateful, and China's assistance to its country for so many years not only did not exchange for gratitude, but was "bitten back" by it, resulting in China being bruised all over the body, Uganda reneged on its word, did not pay attention to good faith and unilaterally tore up the agreement, and broke the agreement with China, causing China to suffer a large amount of economic losses.
Many netizens were indignant and indignant about Uganda's approach, and some netizens commented: "Isn't Uganda a proper modern version of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf?" With good intentions, China became a "big wronged species" and raised a white-eyed wolf."
Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf
Although this netizen's words are very sharp, they do make some sense.
Uganda transferred the contract for the railway construction project to Turkey, and France also took the opportunity to "take advantage of the wind to cross the lake and intervene", Uganda's move reminds people of a deeper problem, Uganda is so dishonest, where will China's relations go? Will China-Africa friendship be tested because Uganda is determined to go its own way?
In this incident, as long as people with a clear mind can easily see that what Uganda did is completely wrong, Uganda is the wrong party, because its "white" behavior has caused China to suffer huge losses, what should China, the "victim", do?
Great country demeanor
In order to continue cooperation with Uganda in the future, continue to carry out friendly cooperation and economic and trade exchanges with Africa, and maintain harmonious relations between China and Africa, China forgives Uganda for what it has done.
On August 11, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Ugandan Foreign Minister Odongo met in Beijing, China's capital, and Wang Yi said that China and Uganda are still in a comprehensive cooperative partnership, and China will continue to assist Uganda to help Uganda embark on the right path of economic development and continue to deepen cooperation between China and Ukraine.
Odongo also responded positively to Wang Yi's words, saying that Uganda is very grateful to China for its country's righteous assistance, and Uganda will firmly support cooperation with China, eliminate political interference, and continue cooperation between the two countries.
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Uganda, Odongo
China's foreign policy of peace does not mean that China is a country with "stupid people and a lot of money", Uganda's move has infringed on China's economic interests, and Uganda's behavior and ideas of "liking to make cheap" and wanting to "prostitute for nothing" are really shameful.
Regardless of previous suspicions and with the style of a great power, China expressed understanding for Uganda's actions and said that China's cooperation with Africa and cooperation between China and Uganda will not be affected by this incident.
brief summary
Although China has given understanding and not pursued Uganda's actions, Uganda's backtracking behavior will inevitably be despised by the international community, and I hope that in the future cooperation with China, Uganda can be honest and trustworthy, be a country that does what it says and does what it does, and stop thinking about "cheating and playing tricks", using "illegitimate" means and "immature" ideas to seek economic benefits for its own country.
Win-win cooperation
Cooperation between countries must be based on good faith, and it is hoped that Uganda can "change its past mistakes" and achieve win-win cooperation with China in a real sense.
