Three robbery-hijackings in a week have put South Africa’s Chinese community on edge.  The latest incident occurred last week in the Humewood area of Port Elizabeth where like the previous two incidents an ethnic Chinese driver was forced off the road and robbed at gunpoint. The assailants also forced the victims to use their mobile phones to transfer funds to make an online transfer to their accounts. South African police are now warning people in the Chinese community to avoid carrying large sums of cash and even to reduce the amounts of money available in standard banks accounts.  (SOUTH AFRICA DAILY — in Chinese) Chinese President Xi Jinping is beginning to rally leaders from other developing countries to join his new “Global Development Initiative” (GDI) which he announced in his UN General Assembly speech last month.  President Xi raised the issue on Wednesday in separate phone calls with Equatorial Guinean President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and  Papua New Guinea Prime Mini

The Sino-Congolese mining company Sicomines, which has been under intense scrutiny for the past several months over its 2007 contract with the government, is now communicating with a sense of confidence that gives the impression its troubles with the authorities in Kinshasa may be over. This is partially attributable to an aggressive PR campaign by Chinese mining companies in the DRC that by most measures has been very effective in shifting the narrative. Kinshasa’s rival political camps are also now focusing more attention on the launch of next year’s presidential campaign and it’s clear that few people see much benefit in prolonging tensions with some of the country’s largest foreign investors.

AidData’s landmark research report published last month, “ Banking on the Belt and Road ,” generated tremendous media coverage around the world, particularly related to the report’s finding that $385 billion in so-called “hidden debts” are owed to China. Since AidData also published the dataset that it used to evaluate 13,427 Chinese-funded projects, other scholars are also looking at that data and questioning some of the group’s findings.

Although the Chinese Foreign Ministry has been largely silent this week about the military coup in Sudan, the country’s largest television broadcaster, CCTV (央视新闻), appears to be framing the story in a way that lays the blame for the collapse of the civilian government squarely at the feet of the United States. Given that this is CCTV, by far the country’s most influential media outlet, it’s quite likely that the evolving narrative on Sudan that they’re disseminating closely aligns with official thinking in the Foreign Ministry.

Simply shipping more jabs to Africa will not be enough to fulfill Chinese President Xi Jinping’s commitment to make COVID vaccines a “global public good,” argued two experts in a column published this week on the site “ China and International Development. “ Instead, Lu Xin, an advisor to the National Development Research Institute at Peking University and Shen Dili, CEO of Boruizhi Consulting, contend that it’s equally important to focus on so-called “non-vaccine support” that includes the logistics and infrastructure needed to get the vaccines to the right places.

Chinese President Xi Jinping urged his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in a phone call on Tuesday that the European Union should pursue greater autonomy (presumably from the U.S.) in its foreign policy. The two leaders also discussed the upcoming COP26 climate summit in Scotland and even though President Xi will not attend in person, President Macron nonetheless asked the Chinese president to convey “ a decisive signal ” that Beijing is committed to reducing its emissions.

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan (photo) reiterated what’s has become a common talking point in Washington: that the administration’s Build Back Better World (B3W) initiative is going to challenge China’s Belt and Road Initiative head-on. Sullivan spoke to the media on Tuesday in the White House Briefing Room  to talk about the President’s upcoming European trip to attend the COP 26 climate conference in Scotland and the G20 summit in Rome. On several occasions during his remarks, Sullivan returned to B3W and said clearly that he’s confident that when it eventually launches (still TBD by the way), this new initiative will outcompete the BRI in “every aspect”: This marketing content will be shown in place of your protected content to anyone who is not allowed to read the post… Get a daily email packed with the latest China-Africa news and analysis.

If the proposed B3W has any chance of rivaling China’s eight-year-old Belt and Road Initiative, the U.S. government is going to have to persuade development finance institutions, private companies, and Wall Street that building infrastructure in some of the world’s highest risk countries is a good investment. Access to huge pools of private capital will be the defining difference between the U.S. approach and China’s state-led initiative that, until now, has largely relied on the country’s two main policy banks, the China Exim Bank and the China Development Bank to fund hundreds of billions worth of infrastructure development throughout the Global South.

Chinese ambassador to the DRC Zhu Jing and Foreign Affairs Minister Christophe Lutundula Apala posed for a ceremonial fist-bump at the Foreign Ministry in Kinshasa following the signing earlier this month of three new accords that will provide additional Chinese aid to the DRC while eliminating some of its zero-interest debt. The various accords include a $15 million (100 million RMB) unrestricted grant and the cancellation of a $29 million zero-interest loan. The Chinese government also provided President Félix Tshisekedi’s office with a $2 million grant to help cover the expenses related to Kinshasa’s tenure as president of the African Union.

The Chinese embassy in Khartoum on Monday activated its “safety emergency mechanism,” a set of protocols that ordered all “Chinese-funded institutions” to suspend operations and for personnel to take cover in response to the escalating unrest in Sudan following yesterday’s toppling of the civilian government. The embassy,  according to a report in the Global Times newspaper , also called on its nationals to stay off the streets. Food and other provisions are apparently being provided.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held the first high-level talks with the new interim government in Afghanistan. Wang met with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban’s acting deputy prime minister, during the foreign minister’s two-day visit to Qatar that began on Monday. Wang promised that China would provide assistance to help Afghanistan rebuild. In return, he called on the Taliban to “resolutely crackdown” on militants affiliated with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement — a group that fights for Xinjiang independence and China classifies as a terrorist organization.  (BLOOMBERG) This marketing content will be shown in place of your protected content to anyone who is not allowed to read the post… Get a daily email packed with the latest China-Africa news and analysis.

The Vice Minister of Mines in the DR Congo, Godard Motemona, declared that the appointment of three Chinese nationals to help supervise Chinese mining activities in the far eastern province of Ituri is “ null and void .” The controversy began last Thursday when the military governor of Ituri, Lieutenant-General  Johnny Luboya N’kashama, named three Chinese nationals with connections to the local mining industry  to serve as emissaries of sorts between the provincial government and the many Chinese mining companies operating in the region.  This marketing content will be shown in place of your protected content to anyone who is not allowed to read the post… Get a daily email packed with the latest China-Africa news and analysis.

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, unveiled the country’s new digital currency platform, eNaira, on Monday. It is Africa’s first virtual currency. The new service will allow Nigerians to make contactless payments, move money between accounts and manage their accounts virtually. Unlike other digital currencies, however, the eNaira isn’t an unregulated cryptocurrency. Instead, it will be pegged to the naira itself, which means its value will also fluctuate against the U.S. dollar.

The pre-dawn military coup in Sudan on Monday presents the latest challenge for China on how to respond to the toppling of governments in Africa where it has sizable economic and strategic interests. Normally, the Chinese Foreign Ministry tends to be very reluctant to comment on coups,  as was the case in Myanmar in February  when Beijing did its best to take a low profile, but not so in Guinea when China condemned the September overthrow of President Alpha Condé’s government  within the first 24 hour s .

Kenya’s gaping trade imbalance with China is typical of many African countries that import significantly more than they export to the Chinese market. This has prompted calls going back years for Africans to reduce their dependency on Chinese imports and manufacture more at home, particularly in the new era of the AfCFTA. But the 28-year old Kenyan entrepreneur Anthony Muthungu (photo) has recently experienced just how hard it is to do that in practice,  according to a story by Capital News .

The Ugandan parliament is  considering a bill proposed by infrastructure minister Katumba Wamala  that would provide sanctuary to local construction companies when bidding for smaller road contracts. Although China was not mentioned in the proposed legislation specifically, it’s widely believed that the new law is intended to shield Ugandan contractors from China’s state-owned construction companies that have been  very successful in building roads throughout the East African country.

Egyptian Health Minister Hala al-Zayed met last week with Gao Qiang, head of R&D at Chinese vaccine maker Sinovac Biotech, to  discuss how the two sides can expand production at the company’s factories in Egypt in order to make more jabs available for other African countries . Sinovac vaccines are being prepared at a “fill-and-finish” facility outside of Cairo that’s run by the state-run pharmaceutical manufacturer VACSERA. So far, the joint venture has produced around 16 million doses at that plant,  according to Beijing-based consultancy Bridge .  Get a daily email packed with the latest China-Africa news and analysis.

Together, the Chinese-made  Sinopharm and Sinovac vaccines account for almost half of the 7.3  billion COVID-19 vaccines that have been delivered to date around the world, especially to developing regions in Asia and Latin America (not so much in Africa). But the overwhelming majority of those Chinese vaccine distributions are in the form of sales, not donations, a point picked up on by the United States in its recent announcement that it had donated 200 million doses to more than 100 developing countries.

China’s ambassador to Ethiopia, Zhao Zhiyuan  handed over a donation of 800,000 doses of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine on Sunda y to Health Minister Lia Tadesse at a ceremony at the international airport in Addis Ababa. What’s notable here is that Ethiopia has been the recipient of a disproportionately large amount of donated vaccines from China (more than 1.8 million doses) compared to most other African countries that have been required to purchase the bulk of their jabs from Chinese pharmaceutical companies.
