#China #OBOR #OBI #SouthAfrica
China’s interest in South Africa represents a strategic addition to the New Silk Road, sometimes referred to as the One Belt One Road (OBOR ) or One Belt Initiative (OBI). Not only is it a step in the initiative, it also has some natural resources that China would like to access.
"As China has done many times before, they are using a country’s “value” over the cost of the investment. One only needs to look at countries that are indebted to China for funding/backing loans that finance “Infrastructure Projects,” to understand the dynamic."

Thread: Mike Pence gave a major speech on #China today - He backed #HongKongprotests & slammed the #NBA & #Nike for kowtowing to #China - He also slammed China for its treatment of Muslim Uighurs in the Xinjiang region
reuters.com/article/us-chi…
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday accused China of curtailing “rights and liberties” in Hong Kong and blasted U.S. company Nike and the National Basketball Association for falling in line with Beijing in a disagreement over free speech.
Criticizing China’s construction of a “surveillance state,” & “increasingly provocative” military action, Pence held up Taiwan’s Democracy as a better path for Chinese people & took Beijing to task for its handling of pro-democracy protests that rocked Hong Kong for more 4 months

CLIP: I attended a talk at @UBC Vancouver by a Chinese official, Yu Jiantou of the @CDRF15, and asked him about detention camps in #Xinjiang. He defended the camps as “vocational training” and said China has different priorities when it comes to human rights. Story coming soon.
@UBC @CDRF15 For context, see this earlier story by colleague @Nuttallreports. The same institute that invited Hu Angang invited Yu yesterday. The UBC-affiliated moderator did not correct the record to clarify the camps are compulsory and have prison-like conditions. thestar.com/vancouver/2019…
In above video, the moderator is UBC Institute of Asian Research fellow Evan Due. Due is a senior adviser to the Chinese government research foundation where Yu is Assistant Secretary General. UBC hasn’t answered questions on whether he was an appropriate choice for moderator.

Chinese engineers are testing techniques that could be used to build a 1,000km long tunnel—the world’s longest—to divert water from the Brahmaputra river in Tibet close to Arunachal Pradesh to the parched Xinjiang region, a media report said on Monday.
The move, that is expected to “turn Xinjiang into California", has raised concerns among environmentalists about its likely impact on the Himalayan region, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.
