#Thread per reliable source at FM in Somalia told me that China Amb to Somalia @FeiShengchao is the most corrupt in Somalia; he bribes media with an average of $5k per interview to amplify the "one-china policy" - he provided guidance to former Somalia FM to draft this letter.

He has given $350k and $80k gift watch to former minister of information @OsmanDubbe to remodel the ministry- Dubbe was questioned at Heathrow airport to provide receipt of the gift- this ambassador earned a nickname called " MrHow Much you want"

At Benadir region admin - he is alleged to have given mayor @OFilish close to half million $ to rehabilitate some districts and new buildings- this is not the first time Chinese amb to Somalia provide financial stance to regions or government institution, but it us to be public.

the china ambassador to Somalia FEI Shengchao 费胜潮 @FeiShengchao aka #MrHowMuchYouWant is committing not only bribery but violating anti-money laundering laws in Somalia for not reporting these alleged illicit financial activities to @CBSsomalia and minister of finance.

He pressures Somali diplomats based in China & the minister of foreign affairs in Somalia to push a one-china policy by issuing statements/ interviews to create a diplomatic and hostility wedge between Somalia and Somaliland at the expense of Taiwan

China's ambassador to Somalia is doing all this to distract the Somalia gov from Chinese illegal fishing since the @M_Farmaajo gov legalized their illegal fishing which has expired costing Somalia to lose $B of revenue.

The irony to this is that the U.S gov provided almost $1B of humanitarian & developmental Aid to #Somalia from 2016-18 vs. China's $13M, yet China was awarded a fishing license worth avg. $30k/license equivalent to $0.076/kg, while average fish is sold at $1/kg in #Mogadishu

Based on Somalia Fisheries Public Observation org @somalia_SFPO who monitored China gov fishing license in Somalia pre-post legalization of illegal fishing satellite images reveal the extent of Chinese illegal fishing exploitation in Somalia.
.

Somalia's gov should hold the current Chinese amb and his gov accountable for interference and illegal fishing activities- Somalia's government should seek commercial relations with Taiwan and Somaliland to promote democracy and sustainable peace development. The End.
