“Silindele ukuba amazwe amaninzi akhuselwe kwixesha elizayo, iChina ibe ngugqatswa ophambili,” utshilo isithethi se-Aperam kwingxelo, apho inkampani ibize uhlengahlengiso oluzayo. Uqaphele ukuba uMzantsi Afrika usandula ukufakwa kukhuseleko.
“Nangona kukho amanyathelo okumelana naloo nto, iTshayina ifumene indlela yokuthengisa okungakumbi kwixesha elidlulileyo,” utshilo uDimolo kwintlanganiso kunye nabatyali-mali bexoxa ngeziphumo zomenzi wesinyithi kwikota yokuqala.” Ukungenisa izinto kwamanye amazwe kuhlala kubeka uxinzelelo kwimarike.
“Ikomiti ibisoloko ixhasa kwaye iza kuqhubeka ixhasa,” utshilo. “Siyathemba ukuba ikomiti iza kuyisombulula le ngxaki.”

Nangona kunjalo, u-Euranimi uphawule kwileta kaJanuwari 26 eya kwiKhomishini yaseYurophu ukuba kwi-EU “kukho ukunqongophala okukhulu kwentsimbi engagqwaliyo, ingakumbi i-SSCR (intsimbi engagqwaliyo ebandayo), ngenxa yamanqanaba angaqhelekanga okukhusela kunye nemfuno enamandla, kwaye amaxabiso angaphaya kolawulo.”
“Imeko yezoqoqosho neyezopolitiko itshintshe kakhulu xa ithelekiswa nowama-2018, xa kwaqaliswa amanyathelo okhuseleko okwethutyana,” utshilo umlawuli we-Euranimi uChristophe Lagrange kwi-imeyile ngoMeyi 11, ecaphula ukubuyiselwa koqoqosho emva kobhubhane, ukunqongophala kwezinto eYurophu kuquka intsimbi engagqwaliyo, ukunyuka kwamaxabiso angaphezulu, inzuzo engaphantsi kwabavelisi baseYurophu abangagqwaliyo ngo-2021, ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kwi-EU, iindleko zothutho eziphezulu kakhulu ngenxa yokuxinana kwezothutho zaphesheya kunye nokungeniswa okubiza kakhulu kwamanye amazwe, imfazwe yase-Ukraine, izohlwayo ze-EU kwiRashiya, ukulandela kukaJoe uDonald Trump Biden njengomongameli wase-US kunye nokususwa kweminye imiqathango yeCandelo 232.
