Indisputable Evidence That Reveal Zambia is Now Chinese Property

These are some controversial events that reveal Zambia has turned into China’s first African state, and tragically so.

President Edgar Chagwa Lungu of Zambia has praised and recognized the astounding and cordial chronicled relations that exist among Zambia and China, and has included that they are based equity and shared regard. How evident?

To state that Zambia has turned into a settlement of China is to be sure a modest representation of the truth. Through the lure of giving credits to enhance framework, China has taken base in Zambia and has kept on doing its malignant exercises in the nation.

Evidence 1

Last year, there was tension in the country after the police swore in new reserve officers who were Chinese nationals and had rights to arrest citizens of Zambia in Zambia! The eight officers were presented to the public wearing the Zambian police uniforms.

Evidence 2

Kenyan legal luminary and renowned Pan-Africanist was denied entry into Zambia over a China-Africa lecture.

It was reported by Africa Confidential that the country was on the verge of losing its electricity company ZESCO to China after defaulting on loan repayment.

The report further indicated that the national broadcaster ZNBC was already being run by the Chinese. The government denied the allegations and vowed to take legal action.

Evidence 3

Two Chinese nationals were arrested last week in Livingstone for taking nine Zambians wearing military fatigue through an illegal military training.

The 11 suspects were in possession of one pistol, seven shotguns and one big air gun with a box containing shotgun ammunition, reported local media Lusaka Times.

The nine Zambians were reported to be members of a private security firm and were wearing uniforms that looked similar to those of the National Parks and Wildlife Authority.

The Southern Province Police Commissioner, Bonnie Kapeso said in a statement that the Chinese trainers had imported the military fatigue from China.

The police said they didn’t have any authorisation to conduct training without clearance from the police and the matter would be investigated.

Evidence 4

Zambia’s state-owned newspaper published an article in Chinese language Mandarin.

State-owned Times of Zambia newspaper made matters worse when they published an article in the Chinese language Mandarin for its millions of readers who speak either English or the over half a dozen official languages of Zambia.

The Chinese article was titled ‘We’ve still got it’ and it was written by one Steven Zande. It is reported that the article was a translation of the English version of a story on the front page about President Edgar Lungu’s vow to uphold national interests in his dealings with foreign investors.

The article created the expected uproar and outrage especially when the public was dealing with the fear of a takeover.

The Information Minister and chief government spokesperson Dora Siliya quickly explained on Twitter that the Chinese story was a business strategy to increase revenue and tap into the Chinese advertising market.

“Times of Zambia aiming to increase revenue by targeting Chinese market. Today’s edition has a Chinese version of top story. They want to tap into Chinese advertising. Who moved my cheese? Times of Zambia responding,” she tweeted.

If the media goes in that direction, then the Chinese will control information, education and entertainment as their government does in Beijing and all of China.
