The Chinese regime recently wrote off $78 million of Cameroon’s debt while Yang Jiechi, China’s top diplomat, visited the central African country on Jan. 18. But both governments and official media did not publish the news until five days later.
Yang, who is a member of the Chinese Communist Party’s powerful Politburo, visited Cameroon as a special envoy of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. On Jan. 18, he met Cameroon President Paul Biya and made a series of cooperation agreements.
