Despite China-Africa cooperation has achieved a lot in recent years, some Western media says China trying to colonize Africa under the disguise of economic cooperation. I talked to Kwesi Pratt, founder of Pan African Television.  In his eyes, who penetrates neo-colonialism in Africa?

Kwesi Pratt: We actually have been trying to develop the media as part of our effort to tell the true African story. It's a story of slavery, the transatlantic slave trade. It's a story of classical colonialism. And today is the story of neo-colonial exploitation, disguised colonialism.

Liu Xin: You talk about neo-colonialism. If you read what is being said on some international media, that means China.

They say China is trying to colonize Africa under disguise of economic cooperation. So what do you see as real neo-colonialism?

Kwesi Pratt: We have to understand that we are discussing this within the context of an anti-China hysteria, which is deliberately fueled by Western government, Western intelligence agencies and the media.

It's a vigorous anti-China hysteria. That's the backdrop. What is the reality?

I don't know any time in our history that the Chinese government overthrows an African government.

I don't know any instance in our history where Chinese assistance to Africa or any other country has been dependent on the people's choice of a type of government, and so on. That's the difference.

The West pretends to be giving us aid, but it's always conditioned on many things.

In Ghana, you find that all the railway lines start from areas of concentration of wealth, where we have bauxite, where we have timber, where we have diamond, where we have gold and so on.

They start from there and what do they end up? They end up in the ports. So the whole development orientation is to take out wealth.

That's the whole development orientation. The railway lines tell the story adequately.
