Ambassador Wu Peng, it would be great to hear your view on foreign assistance in the light of Trump’s attempted destruction of #USAID programmes such as PEPFAR. The People’s Republic of China has enormous resources to help save millions of lives. Speak to us. #HIV #PEPFAR
Glad to meet with Honorable Annelie Lotriet, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of South Africa. We had a good discussion about China-South Africa relations including legislature exchanges and cooperation.

USAID spends less than $50 billion a year on “aid” and most of it has been frozen and will be cut. But it spends $820 billion on war. Let us be clear more people will die because of the “aid” cuts than war. Still, companies like Palantir are jubilant at getting more money.

@kunenephindz @MbekezeliMB The harder they pray the less they work and the more they steal. And, I am not pointing fingers at any political party. Quite a few pray hard.
