Nairobi [Kenya], April 27 (ANI): Last month, China's national legislature spokesperson refuted Western assertions of a "Chinese debt trap" in Africa, during the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), held on March 4, this year, Capital FM.co.ke reported. China has, in fact, asserted that African countries have benefited much from the infrastructure projects that are a part of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The government has maintained military connections with France for many years, as well as with the US, Japan, Italy, Germany, Spain, and China, Capital FM.co.ke reported. China now has significant infrastructure assets in the BRI project, and there is little doubt that the government is considering a variety of options. Still, it also enters into outside cooperation agreements for its own benefit, Capital FM.co.ke reported.
