We have seen this many times in op-eds on China's role in Africa. I see this not so much as deliberate "fake news" but "not very careful dissemination. Kind of like re-tweeting something that turns out not to be accurate.Deborah Brautigamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10813215294689392170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189930829940284211.post-15612707938003233762018-03-15T04:46:18.459-04:002018-03-15T04:46:18.459-04:00I would like to know if Drs.Deborah Brautigam and ...I would like to know if Drs.Deborah Brautigam and (or) Jyhjong Hwang have communicated with either PAULINA GARZÓN or LEILA SALAZAR-LÓPEZ, or both of them, or the NY Times in regard to the findings in the research by Dr. Jyhjong Hwang? And, how such communication, if any, has been received by any of them, if any? As stated in the conclusion therein, "Such distortions unfortunately reinforce false perceptions and skew the debate, while the data often does not support these assumptions." One finds it less and less convincing when the United States politicians denied that there is no ulterior motive driving such dissemination of false information, or even fabrication, which was just borne out to be factual by the very statements and postures exhibited in Tillerson's entire paternalistic lectures to the people of various African countries during his recent trip in March 2018. Should there be such motive and drive, it does not seem to enable whoever masterminding such campaign to realize its intended results, but to cause more harms generally and in a wide scope that one can do without.

However, there is a very little mistake in the remark, Maamba Phase I is supproted by BOC, and I am not sure whether BOC HK took part in the syndication loan, and the HQ of BOC Group is in Beijing, BOC HK is just a branch of it, even though it is one of the biggest branches.动境https://www.blogger.com/profile/05827087689301689096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189930829940284211.post-28178680177063270372017-10-17T18:05:45.896-04:002017-10-17T18:05:45.896-04:00Once again the content on this blog just shuts out...Once again the content on this blog just shuts out the misinformed critics.
