Blogger’s Note: The PRC practices a type of limited and qualified “Internationalism”. Whereas the original (Bolshevik) Marxist-Leninist ideology was of the opinion that a Worldwide Revolution was about to happen – and that each branch of the working-class should immediately assist all others in every way – times have changed, and the chances of a Worldwide Revolution have receded as conditions have changed. Where the capitalist system was taken by surprise during the early 20th, today the very same bourgeois system has taken precautions and has declared much working-class solidarity to be illegal at best – or terroristic at worst. Times are difficult for genuine efforts of “Internationalism” and working-class “solidarity”. The bourgeois system has definitely feathered its own nest, as fighting for Zionist Israel and Neo-Nazi Ukraine is perfectly acceptable – whilst fighting for Palestine or Russia is declared “criminal” (workers must be careful – as an unarmed Manchester NHS worker drove an ambulance for a few months in Donbass on the side of the breakaway Republic – moving dead and wounded bodies from the frontline to the rear – on his return he was tried and imprisoned as a “terrorist” in the UK, receiving a five-year sentence). Protecting the capitalist system, and right-wing and far-right manifestations of it, are the default settings of the current legal framework. Giving things away to countries not involved in military action against the West, however, such as humanitarian aid in the form of civilian medical supplies, is still permitted in many cases and this is why China carries-out these actions (this changes with the political terrain). Furthermore, such as detailed below activity assists the peaceful development of Africa as China progresses towards Socialism – in the face of White racism and systemic discrimination – a situation that unites Chinese and African people.

ADDIS ABABA, July 3 (Xinhua) — The 25th batch of the Chinese medical team in Ethiopia has donated much-needed medical supplies to the Tirunesh-Beijing Hospital, also known as the Ethio-China Friendship Hospital, located on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, the East African country’s capital.
Addressing the handover ceremony on Wednesday evening, Eshetu Tadele, chief executive officer of Tirunesh-Beijing Hospital, hailed the successive Chinese medical teams for their “life-saving contributions” to the people of Ethiopia and for imparting medical knowledge and skills to their Ethiopian counterparts in the process.
He said Chinese medical teams based at the hospital have demonstrated that “the health system has no boundary. That is why you showed your heart and your kindness in helping Ethiopia.”
Highlighting that the latest donation of medical supplies marks the third such contribution to the hospital within a year, Tadele said a recent similar donation, coupled with a successful skills transfer initiative, has enabled the establishment of a fully-equipped eye treatment unit at the hospital.
“I would like to thank you very much for the huge and tremendous donation to our hospital. Since the establishment of this hospital, the Chinese government has been donating lots of medical equipment, and lots of experts have been assigned to our hospital to help Ethiopian communities,” Tadele said.
“I would like to thank you for the support in terms of human resources, medical equipment, and skills transfer, which strengthens the health system in Ethiopia,” he added.
While welcoming the 26th batch of the Chinese medical team, the hospital community also commended the outgoing team members for their “important support” in safeguarding the health and well-being of the Ethiopian people.
They underscored that Chinese doctors’ service is a vivid manifestation of the two countries’ growing people-to-people ties.
Liu Junying, head of the 25th batch of the Chinese medical team, said his team, which began work at Tirunesh-Beijing Hospital in May 2024, has been delivering medical services to Ethiopian communities as part of the long-standing Sino-Ethiopian health cooperation.
He further reiterated China’s commitment to sending successive medical teams to provide healthcare for Ethiopians in need, while also sharing expertise with local medical professionals.
The newly dispatched 26th Chinese medical team, consisting of 16 specialists across various fields, continues China’s medical mission to Ethiopia, which has been serving the local population since the 1970s.
