‘US Propaganda Against China Is Not Working in Africa’ w/ Zambia’s Dr. Fred M’membe

The U.S. media likes to frame the relationship between China and Africa as a colonial one. China meanwhile characterizes it as one of friendship and solidarity. How do people in Africa see Africa-China relations? International award-winning journalist, President of the Socialist Party of Zambia and 2026 presidential candidate Dr. Fred M’membe joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss China-Africa relations, the history of solidarity between Zambia and China, and his party’s vision for the future of his country.

Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, we will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.
