Introduction
On October 1, 1949, the establishment of New China was announced, marking the arrival of a new era. After the founding of New China, it faced severe problems. Western countries led by the United States repeatedly prevented New China from entering the United Nations and refused to recognize China's legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations, which caused great obstacles to New China's entry into the United Nations.
October 25, 1971, this day is a historic day for China. That day, the United Nations General Assembly passed the proposal of 23 countries including Albania and Algeria to “restore all the legal rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations and immediately expel the representatives of the Chiang Kai-shek Group from all United Nations agencies”. It received 76 votes in favor, 17 With the overwhelming advantage of abstentions and 35 votes against, the United Nations restored the legal seat of the People’s Republic of China.
China can return to the United Nations. In addition to China's own efforts, to a certain extent, we still have to thank the developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Their approval votes have played a big role, especially in Africa. We got 26 approvals. Votes, which accounted for almost one-third of the total affirmative votes.
It is worth mentioning that although African countries voted close to one-third of the votes, Africa accounted for 15 of the 35 votes against it, which is also very large. Considering the impact, we played a major role in propagating Africa to restore China's legitimate rights and interests for the United Nations, and we rarely mentioned those 15 negative votes.
So which 15 African countries voted against? How are they developing today? Let's take a look at the following.
15 African countries that voted against
Central Africa, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Benin, Gabon, Gambia, Côte d'Ivoire, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Niger, South Africa, Swaziland, Burkina Faso.
The above 15 countries all voted against at the time. This is actually normal. Some people support it while others oppose it. At that time, the United States obstructed so much. Although these countries voted against China’s restoration of its legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations. Some obstruction, but no effect on the final result.
among these 15 countries,We are familiar with South Africa, Central Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, etc., and Gambia, which once threatened to send troops to China for 1,000 fights and made international jokes. Now the relationship between Gambia and China is restored, and the two countries have normal exchanges.
How are the 15 countries developing now
South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho
South Africa is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent and has a unique geographical location. South Africa has always been the fastest growing city in Africa in modern times, and its GPD has always been among the best in Africa. South Africa was at the peak of its development in the 1990s. Since 2012, South Africa’s economy has been slowed down by Nigeria. The gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa is now large, and the crime rate remains high. This has greatly affected the development of South Africa, but South Africa is still a developed country in Africa.
Swaziland is not well-known. It is a landlocked country in Africa and borders South Africa. Today, Swaziland is one of the few absolute constitutional monarchies in the world. Swaziland’s GDP totals US$4.704 billion, making it a low-middle-income country.
Lesotho is located in the southeastern part of Africa. It is a completely landlocked country. It is worth mentioning that Lesotho is completely surrounded by South Africa and is the largest country in the world. In terms of economy, Lesotho lacks natural resources, coupled with the country’s many coups, etc., Lesotho is currently one of the least developed countries in the world.
Madagascar, Malawi, Benin, Gabon, Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Burkina Faso
Although Madagascar is the largest island country in Africa, its maritime transport industry is not well developed. The country is mainly based on agriculture. the Lord. Due to its unique geographical location, the country has mainly developed tourism in recent years. Many European tourists have come to Madagascar for sightseeing, which has brought their country an economic source.
Although Malawi has a large population of close to 20 million people, the economic situation is not optimistic. Apart from agriculture, tobacco is also the main source of income.
Benin, Gabon, Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, and Burkina Faso are all located in the west of Africa. In addition to Gabon’s better economy among these six countries,The rest of the economy is relatively poor and belongs to the ranks of the least developed countries in the world.
Niger, Central Africa, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo
Put these four countries in the same column, mainly because these four countries run through Africa from north to south. Starting from the northernmost Niger, the country’s economy It is backward, the environment is harsh, and the land is barren. It is difficult to develop the economy. Therefore, Niger is one of the least developed countries in the world.
Central Africa is a typical agricultural country. The country has more wars and poor economic development. The agricultural GDP of Central Africa is not high, only about 2 billion US dollars. This value is not like a country’s GDP. It's more like a county town.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a large country, the second largest country in Africa, with a population of more than 70 million. A large country does not mean a developed country. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has a poor economic level. Like Chad, it belongs to the ranks of poor countries.
Conclusion
Overall, most of these 15 countries have relatively poor economic development, and nearly half are among the least developed countries in the world. This shows that the overall economy of African countries is poor, not an isolated phenomenon.
Once, these 15 countries voted against China to restore the legal seat of the United Nations. Today, my country's assistance to Africa also includes these countries. This shows that my country is a big country in charge of grievances with virtue.
China is now the second largest economy in the world, and it is developing very fast, thanks to the joint efforts of the people across the country. my country's initiative to help Asian, African and Latin American countries will help to enhance their international status, while at the same time it can also obtain good benefits from foreign investment. The most important thing is that my country is willing to maintain good relations with African countries and develop together with the people of the world.
