China Pressured Africa to Quit Anti-Beijing Bloc: Report | Firstpost Africa | N18G Chinese pressure forced two African nations to withdraw from a global alliance that has been critical of Beijing. This is as per newly found evidence with leaked letters, messages, and voice recordings. Last year, lawmakers from Malawi and The Gambia pulled out of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, or IPAC. In Malawi’s case, Chinese officials allegedly threatened to cancel the president’s planned visit to Beijing—including a meeting with President Xi Jinping—if Malawian lawmakers attended last year’s IPAC summit in Taiwan. In The Gambia, a lawmaker sent voice messages to IPAC staff saying Chinese diplomats had lodged complaints with his foreign ministry. This has alarmed observers, who warn that China’s political pressure campaign is happening quietly—and often behind closed doors. And it comes at a time when the U.S. is pulling out of Africa. Watch for more details. --- China | Africa | Beijing | Anti-Beijing Bloc | Malawi | Gambia | IPAC Summit | Xi Jinping | Taiwan | IPAC Summit | Firstpost Africa | Alyson Le Grange | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #china #africa #beijing #malawi #gambia #ipacsummit #jinping #taiwan #ipacsummit #firstpostafrica #africa #alysonlegrange #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
