African Union head calls China spying report 'lies'

The African Union's chairman dismissed during a visit to Beijing on Thursday a French newspaper report alleging that China had spied on the continental body as "lies" intended to derail cooperation.

The report published by Le Monde in January claimed technicians at the AU's Chinese-built headquarters in the Ethiopian capital discovered last year that the contents of their computers had been regularly copied to servers in Shanghai since 2012, citing unnamed AU sources.

"I don't see it is in the interest of China to spy," AU commission chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat said during a visit to Beijing, where he met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to discuss deepening cooperation on a variety of issues, as well as opening a representative office in Beijing.

Standing next to Wang, he told reporters that the allegations were "all lies," adding that no story "can distract us or divert us from our relations."

The AU is not dealing with "secrets or defence", he said, and "I don't see how it is in the interest of China to offer such a building and spy."

For his part, Wang said the AU conference centre is "a symbol of Chinese-African friendship" and that China had "selflessly" built the building.

Some people, he said, "are jealous of China-Africa cooperation," suggesting that the report was an attempt to wrong-foot the relationship.

Le Monde said the AU's servers were changed and its IT systems redone after the copying was found.

The newspaper also reported that Ethiopian cyber security experts removed microphones hidden in the desks and walls of the headquarters.

China is deeply invested in Africa, regularly offering low-interest loans and gifts to individual nations and doing $149.2 billion (120.3 billion euros) in trade with the continent in 2016.

Western countries will claim they help African attain civilization by slaving them.

While Chinese exploited African by mining their resources.

These Africans leaders are so corrupt that they will stick a ice cream cone to their head and call themselves unicorns if there was a price for finding one. They could not care less about puny spying as long as money keeps flowing in their accounts for retirement in one of the rich middle east.

Well, third world politicians could not be any more surprising. I was being specific in the context of the thread. Apologies for rattling your white matter.

Spying on what exactly though? ask yourself that! Right now China is the most favoured nation to the AU, what exactly could China gain by spying on the AU as an organisation, it has no power at all no say in anything, its just a forum at this point

Its the nature of Communists/Bolsheviks. They are paranoid of everything. They wanna maintain control over everything, wanna know what happens where. In the name of ideology and protection of the "party/system" people are asked first to report suspicious people, it moves onto your colleagues, then you are asked to snitch on your neighbors and then you family and friends.

China fully knows that leaders of AU can be bought with money anytime anyplace. Why? Cuz they did it themselves. They would like to spy on these crooks to see if they are not double crossing them and engaging with opposing forces. If one or two leaders do it, Chinese can preemptive the move by using their other assets in the place. You can see similar stuff happening in Australia where Chinese students are vocally snitching or threatening to snitch on their fellow students who do not try to toe CCP's line, to Chinese embassy in Australia. China spends more on internal security/surveillance of its citizens then its total defense budget. It was previously seen during the time of Stalin. Like history repeating itself, its just that technology to monitor people have evolved and so is their tactics.

Like I said, America no different to China. There is a reason Chinese throw America as the argument, both are just different in names. Both ruled by insecure leaders. Layoff the gutter fat and read the post carefully before posting.
