Solid Relationship Won't Be Tainted

China-Africa time-tested relations can withstand malicious prejudices
No one seriously expects that the valuable framework of the China-Africa comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership could be totally inoculated from side distractions. This is especially true as there remains pockets of vested interests that wish Africa remains a poor, conflict-ridden beggar and the sole global theater where Western NGOs, pop stars, and assorted celebrities showcase their large hearts and humanitarian concerns.
A South American diplomat once told me how he had thought about an abrupt ending of his diplomatic career instead of serving in Africa, but once in Africa, did his best to stay in the post beyond the allotted duration.
According to him, the rumor he had previously heard is that people bathed in the open streets and light skin humans were a delicacy for the locals. The strength of fallacious prejudice, according to him, was so strong that his spouse chose to divorce him rather than follow him to Africa.
Even no less a personality than the U.S President Donald Trump recently was reported to have allegedly said that Nigerians w ho come to the United States are unlikely to return to their thatched-roofed huts.
Malicious rumors
The sheer fabrications, fallacies and myths that have been woven around China-Africa relations squarely fall into the long held antecedents of how every African,or related stories about Africa, is viewed.
沙千里和邹韬奋坚决反对后一种意见，最后因为沈钧儒坚决支持邹韬奋和沙千里的观点，才结束了争论。沈钧儒在这一期间，为了团结原救国会的同志，并促进大后方各民主党派的团结，作出了很大的贡献。沈钧儒经常找沙千里等讨论工作，沙是沈的一大帮手。
In addition, a recent rumor blew across Nigeria that drugs made of human remains in China have flooded the Nigerian market.It took the intervention of the head of the Nigerian drug agency to dispel the nonsense as totally false.
Some Chinese companies have been caught on the wrong side of the law in their host African countries for being less scrupulous in observing local laws and customs.But the majority of Chinese companies in Africa, apart from being major employers of local labor, are active in discharging their corporate social responsibilities to their local communities and are also avid taxpayers to their host governments.

As the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said that if one opens a w indow for fresh air, a few insects might fl y in too, but it will not be wise to shut the w indow because of few undesirables.
The w indow of China-Africa cooperation has advanced considerably in providing mutual benefits to both sides and the prospects for the future is even bigger and brighter.
Isolated incidents
3）道路绿化带宜疏密相间，在路外有重要景观节点，不宜过多用道路景观进行遮挡，保证驾驶人在行驶过程中能同时能享受丰富的沿江风光。
Such isolated incidents are far from the trend of solidarity and mutual empathies of both peoples that drives the engagement of China and Africa.

Recently, someone posted a video claiming outlandishly that China has established 14 police stations in South Africa. A close and even casual scrutiny revealed that it was a lie.
Before then, another rumor that rubber plastics, packaged as rice from China,has been smuggled into the Nigeria market, spread like African bush-fire before it was discovered as another hoax, designed to poison Nigerians’ positive view of the relationship with China, which the British Broadcasting Corp. put at over 60 percent.
Despite the broad range of cooperation between China and Africa, encompassing mutual fascinations of each other’s culture and a Growing trend of people-to-people relations, exemplified in marriages and even cross cultural name swaps, there are a few isolated instances of abuses and slurs. A Chinese who recently called a Kenyan man“monkey” and was put on trial in a Kenyan court and on conviction, was deported.
Other anti-Chinese sentiments are mistaken or totally misplaced. An example is an incident in December 2010, w hen some football fans chanting “Chinese go home!” were apparently angered by some of the decisions of a Japanese referee in a match between their team and Italian Inter-Milan. The Japanese referee was mistaken for a Chinese. In this instance,a spontaneous mob reaction cannot pass as orchestrated or premeditated anti-Chinese prejudice, because had the mob perceived the offending referee as Canadian or Russian, it benefits have instantly stirred up anti-Canadian or Russian sentiments.
Solid relationship
The only rational course of action in addressing whatever challenges that may arise in China-Africa cooperation is to deepen the cooperation and seize the opportunities it presents.
采用一元线性趋势(潘敖大等,2011)和EOF正交经验方法分析(周国华等,2012)对资料序列进行变化趋势分析;采用Morlet小波分析方法(贺伟等,2013)提取气候要素序列周期,在小波分析中采用一维对称拓展消除边界效应;采用Mann-Kendall 检验方法(李国栋等,2013)对气候要素序列进行突变检测,判断突变年份与气候要素变化的趋势。
Individual acts of misdemeanor or even corporate misconduct may arise from time to time. However the general principle and strategic framework of China-Africa cooperation rest on Africa’s open arms of international partnership and the time-tested Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, which form an important basis of China’s foreign policy. The five principles are mutual respect for each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.
Even as malicious prejudices rear their heads to taint China-Africa relations built from the common trenches of anti-colonial struggles and consolidated by a common aspiration for improved quality of lives for their respective peoples, the dogged fortitude of the people and their respective leaderships give a solid guarantee that China-Africa cooperation belongs to the future.

我们有一种可以打破总是被关押在令人眼花缭乱的现在中的思维的方法，那就是让现在在未来中缺席——即创作，或者说给观看发明另外一个东西。徐浡君的作品就给我们提供了这样一个药方。有一种资源在艺术中早已经被我们所熟用，那就是根源于西方文化但并非反抗西方的——感觉。感觉它自有源头。形式、话语、视角、色彩的变化，都可以是我们感觉的由来。
