Monga momwe infographic iyi imasonyezera, zinyama zambiri zimaphedwa kotero kuti nyanga zawo zikhoza kugulitsidwa ku China kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito mu mankhwala achizolowezi.
Mankhwala omwe samachiza kwenikweni matenda omwe amadzinenera. Zochita izi zaika mitundu yambiri ya zamoyo pangozi yaikulu, ndipo titha kuwona zina mwa zolengedwa izi zikusowa padziko lapansi nthawi zonse.
Kodi Kukambirana Kulimbana Bwanji?
Koma osamalira zachilengedwe samatengapo ziopsezozi, ndipo akugwiritsa ntchito njira zambiri zowononga opha nyama komanso kuteteza nyama zakutchire zaku Africa.
