CNN Forced To Admit China Africa's "Debt Trap Diplomacy" LIES

Sept. 8, 2024

Reports on China

This week saw a massive gathering of African leaders in China for the three-yearly Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, with leaders from more than 50 African nations heading to Beijing for the three-day event.

President Xi announced more than U.S. $50 billion in support over the next three years, which might usually lead Western media to push the “debt trap diplomacy” myth, but guess what?

CNN appears to have received the memo to stop using that fake news trope, for now.

With the majority of African nations confirming “Chinese debt trap diplomacy” is just another Western coping mechanism, Western media can no longer afford to support such outright lies.

Today, I’ll take a closer look. This is Reports on China, I’m Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let's get reporting.

China is a complicated place, and there is definitely a lot of content out there that I don't think accurately or fairly represents this huge country of 1.4 billion.

Hi there, I'm Andy Boreham, a New Zealander living and working in Shanghai, China. I make videos for a more critical and open-minded audience. I speak Mandarin and have a masters degree in Chinese Language and Culture from Fudan University, which I think helps me dive a bit deeper in my content.

This channel features my series Reports on China, where I analyze Western media reports and also occasionally present longer-form, in-depth reports on China topics. I also post other content here, including my Curious in China series which looks deeper into certain aspects of contemporary China that don't necessarily fit into news and current affairs.

If you're ready and willing to see the "real" China, at least according to me, then come along for the ride!
