Kuang Weilin, head of the Chinese mission to the African Union (AU), speaks to media at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, Jan. 29, 2018. Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn on Monday rejected a French media report that alleged China was spying on the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa. Calling the report "sensational", "preposterous" and "totally untrue", Kuang Weilin said the AU headquarters is a very important project donated by China to support the pan-African bloc. Kuang also questioned the paper's intention as the article was published a day before the AU summit. (Xinhua/Lyu Shuai)
