Yang, the director of the Office of Foreign Affairs and a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo, also made sure to criticize those who accuse the Chinese regime of taking advantage of Africa and engaging in "neocolonialism."

"Some people who are unhappy about the growing China–Africa relations have made groundless accusations to defame and attack our cooperation," Yang said in a speech on Dec. 22, as reported by Xinhua News, the state-controlled media outlet.

"Those who attempt to undermine the traditional friendship between China and Africa will only fail."

The Chinese regime has faced increasing criticism in recent years for its engagement with African countries. Over the past decade, Beijing has become the most important economic partner to Africa across trade, investment, financial aid, and infrastructure financing.
