China reacts harshly to US senator’s Somaliland remarks

Senator Ted Cruz had earlier appealed to US President Donald Trump to formally recognise the Republic of Somaliland as an independent state, calling it a major...

For Beijing, then, standing by Mogadishu is not simply about Somalia - it is about ensuring that recognition battles in Africa do not set precedents for its struggle against Taiwan's international scene.

somalia is foolish for having close relations with china. America poured billions and billions into country last decade. China is barely spending or investing anything, its stupid to make america mad for such useless support.

China can not be trusted either they are very weak when it comes to foreign policy and cant even protect their closest ally iran who gives them billions in oil below market price each year. They cant even do anything for Taiwain which is in their backyard and plaything for america. Somalia need to give these indhoyar the boot. America should be number 1 priority

But in reality Somalia goes far in favour of China, there's like 2 countries that block Taiwan passports and Somalia was briefly the third.

Somalia can't move like Somaliland because of this:

There would be no more UNSOS. Somalia probably had to beg China to allow Taiwan passports again. Hard times.

Somalia in blocking Taiwan passports is one of the most pro-China countries in the world. While recieving billions from the US.

Somalia currently has pro-China militias stationed in Somaliland.

Taiwan really thought they could send their foreign minister without going through Muqdisho. Got told you or anyone from your American base aint coming to Somalia. They went crying to the US. The US told Somalia to back off and the minister won't come.

Spin it how you like it but no airplane comes into somali airspace without xamar saying so. Just like the MOU xabashi got turned back mid air.

China has already infiltrated Somalia's weak authoritarian FGS. It has assets such a Mogadishu's ambassador to China. It is currently educating Somalia's leaders on authoritarian governance.

Somalia, China Strengthen Ties Through Governance Workshop | Horseed Media

The Somali Ambassador to China, Dr. Hodan Cusmaan Cabdi, today inaugurated a pivotal workshop designed for senior officials from the Office of the President and the Office of the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

This initiative, which will run from August 15 to August 29, is organized by the International Cooperation Center of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of China, focusing on critical themes of governance, leadership, and modern statecraft.

The workshop aims to harness China’s extensive expertise in state reform, economic liberalization, and successful development strategies.

If Not Tackled, Chinese Communist Party's Growing Threat in the Horn of Africa Will Be Disastrous

NAIROBI, Kenya (HORN OBSERVER) – The exchange between U.S Senator Ted Cruz's letter, dated August 14, urging U.S. recognition of Somaliland and the Chinese Embassy's fierce response on August 15 reveals a deeper reality: the Horn of Africa is no longer shaped by the will of its people, but...

What we all understand is that China’s aggressive intervention in Somali affairs is not limited to rhetoric—it reflects Beijing’s long-term strategy of embedding itself within weak, authoritarian regimes to undermine U.S. influence, control key maritime routes, and exploit instability for geopolitical gain.

Last month, we reported that a group of Somali government officials from the Parliament, the Office of the President, and the Prime Minister’s Office were airlifted to China for what Beijing described as "a seminar on governance.” One can simply question: what type of governance were these men and women being taught, given that China itself is not a democracy?

We attempted to raise this question with several of the attendees, as well as with Somalia’s ambassador to Beijing, Hodan Osman—whom we have previously described as "a possible Chinese asset within the Somali government.”

How exactly does Somalia have close relations with China? You do realise China is the largest economy in the world, plenty of western countries have much closer dealings with China than Somalia does.

America stance clear on Taiwain. Ted Cruz letter below. Somalia is reliant on america for everything from budget, projects, air support from northern most tip all the way to south even, migration wise america been one of our biggest benefactors. somalia overstepped its position banning taiwain it was stupid move and was reversed shortly after but damage was still done. If america cut ties with somalia its game over, china will not fill void. Somalia needs to play its position its a weak central goverment that will collapse like house of cards if it keeps making these kinds of blunders. Somaliland taking full advantage of situation

 

[Hilmaam]

America position has been clear 34 years , next year this too will die down and same old borders will exist. Somalia doesnt have to do anything to maintain status quo. It just needs to focus on not pissing of america and making progress againts shabab

Republican adminstration doesn't believe in Somalia.
Democrats towards the end of their adminstration abstained on AUSSOM deployment. They aren't firm believers either, their Ukraine approach was to 'Trump proof' it. Somalia is not an existential issue or even important one for them.

An era is ending for the better, Puntland appears ready to declare independence and a new chapter can begin.

The Taiwan thing is a nothingburger, again there are countries that flirt way more with China.

America has invested billions into Somalia's security, they aren't going to abandon their one Somalia policy anytime soon, especially since Turkey has major investments in the country.

are those country beggar states that cant do anything by themselves. FGS getting slammed by republicans for a reason, billions is nothing to america but its everything to somalia. Turkey and their investments pales to what america provides. Turkey themselves are aid recipient of america. FGS is being warned ,Ted Cruz has Trumps ear they need to make america happy or risk consequences

I'm not worried about America cutting off aid to Somalia but it doesn't mean they would pivot to SL, there is virtually no strategic value in that. Republicans are being loud for Israel which is nothing new.

republicans lol are you american by any chance this has nothing to do with a party this has all to do with helping israel. America could give 2 shits about disneyland its all about the location and how they can strike houthis and continue the genocide. ted cruz is an ULTRA zionist people in Texas hate him but his backed heavy by Aipac

its about israel but its also about new Trump policy. they want return on their money they wont stand for deviations from expected policies. Ukraine even getting smack down and they are one of the most strategic countries in the world. this new trump govt is not messing around with FGS. FGS without american support will fall. What will be born from ashes who knows can be good or bad
