China Surely Must Be Interested In A More Stable, Non-antagonistic Relationship With The African Continent Precisely Because Of Its Own Needs. And Therefore Would Have To Say In Our Own Interests, As China, It Is Necessary That We Participate In The Process Of The Development Of The African Continent.

I Am Sure That It Wouldn’t Be In The Long-term Interests Of China Which Would Continue To Depend On These African Resources For A Very Long Time To See The Emergence Of Any Sense Of Hostility Animosity, Tension, Da Da Da, Between Itself And The African Continent.

When I Was In Government, The South African Economy Was Growing At 4.5% - 5%. But Then Came The Global Financial Crisis Of 2008/2009, And So The Global Economy Shrunk. That Hit South Africa Very Hard, Because Then The Export Markets Shrunk, And That Includes China, Which Has Become One Of The Main Trade Partners With South Africa. Also, The Slowdown In The Chinese Economy Affected South Africa. The Result Was That During That Whole Period, South Africa Lost Something Like A Million Jobs Because Of External Factors.

We Will Continue To Count On Your Unwavering Support And Commitment To Working With Leaders Of Our Continent In Bringing About The Desired Renaissance Of Africa.

South Africa Has Faced Many Problems In The Past. You Would Understand Those Problems If You Understood The History Of The Struggle To Get Rid Of Apartheid And The Struggle To Establish Democracy.
