China-Africa Security Radar posted on 2 April 2026 a commentary titled "Beijing Capitalizes on Washington's Aggression" by Paa Kwesi Wolseley Prah.
China's Vice President Han Zheng visited Kenya, South Africa, and Seychelles in March. The author argues the visit was timed in the context of Washington's capture of the Venezuelan president and the US/Israeli war against Iran.
Both developments demonstrated US willingness to deploy military power unilaterally and with little deference to international law. This juxtaposition of events permitted Han Zheng to underscore to an African audience China's message of South-South solidarity, sovereign equality, and development partnership.
