Interesting "West vs rest" moment yesterday on French TV with the President of Congo, the 2nd biggest country in Africa.
The host asks: "Are you saying that the Chinese or the Russians behave better than us, Westerners, currently, in your opinion?"
"Oh absolutely!" he replies, "You don't quite understand African realities... it's astonishing to see how we are very distant in terms of cultures. We cannot understand why you come to give us lessons, for example, on human rights."
Reminds of the now famous saying from a Kenyan official: "Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time Britain visits we get a lecture”...
