South African International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor lectured American counterpart Antony Blinken, saying that Western nations are “bullying” the continent and denouncing democratic states seeking “to teach a country” how to be free.
from discussing China’s colonization of Africa in-depth during his visit to the continent, instead focusing on the far less severe threat emanating from Moscow.
“I’m glad that Secretary Blinken has confirmed that America is not asking us to choose. I don’t recall any attempt by the United States to do that. But in terms of our interaction with some of our partners in Europe and elsewhere, there has been a sense of patronizing bullying toward ‘you choose this or else,’” Pandor explained.
Pandor went on to complain that foreign nations sought to improve democratic institutions in South Africa. “We can’t be made party to conflict between China and the United States of America, and I may say it does cause instability for all of us because it affects the global economic system,” she said.
Despite Pandor stating repeatedly that she did not object to Blinken’s form of diplomacy, Blinken criticized the United States for “inconsistencies” in its approach that it should improve.
