Why don't the reporter reveal more details about the "strange peak in data usage"? The news could be less lame if published from a non-formal-colonizer country.

>China built and paid for the African Union’s computer network I guess the old saying applies, "if you aren't paying for it, you are the product."
No wonder the US pressured Verizon to stop selling Huawei phones completely. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-30/verizon-i... I can feel the tensions between the West and China heating up notch by notch now.. It's a bit uncomfortable. I even feel a personal dampening on what I will say publicly about China on social media, just because of hypothetical tech/travel opportunities, and I don't even live th…

China also built the UK government network hopefully the UK, the end result is also likely similar despite the UK paying quite a bit for it. On the works here is for China to build the next generation of nuclear reactors in the UK let’s see how will that turn out.
And the phone in your pocket storing some of your most sensitive data is most likely built in China.

I'd tear down the whole building; as I'd be very surprised if the walls weren't full of bugs as well, similar to the American Embassy case. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/15/world/the-bugged-embassy-c...
China also helped building headquarter for Vietnam Ministry of Public Safety http://mapio.net/pic/p-57003656/ The rumour is that this build is full of bugs in the walls and everywhere, so that the Ministry is still using their old building, the new one is only for unimportant paperwork.
US sold a Boeing 767 to China which was planned to be used by the Chinese President as the official jet, as expected, it is full of bugs.

Australia put bugs in the newly constructed Chinese embassy in Australia's capital back in 1995.

When will Africa realise that they have to learn to look out for themselves because no-one else will? They declined Europe's "offer" (though realistically Europe really didn't have anything to offer its colonies after being devastated by WWII), but where they that much better off under Soviet influence and are they that much better off under China? It's time they started working towards real independence instead of a…
Well that's exactly what the African Union is for. The poverty trap right now is: 1) Loan from the IMF 2) Restructure your debt = privatization = loss of sovereignty and control 3) Repeat The hope is that through a regional central bank, regional investment bank and a regional monetary fund they can break away from the shackles of predatory psycopaths like the IMF and the World Bank. I personally think this will not…
A number of monetary unions have started coalescing the currencies of he continent, as well, so even if the progress towards a single African currency were to fail, that too is still having an impact.
Seems such a small gain with potentially huge downside with African countries distancing themselves from China. And so sloppily done too...
