Wanabodi,
Siku moja tu baada ya kuachia nafasi yake serikalini, Waziri wa mambo ya nje (secretary of state) wa Marekani aliyemaliza muda wake, Mr Mike Pompeo, pamoja na jamaa wangine waliokuwa kwenye serikali ya Trump, wamewekewa zuio la kuingia nchini China.
Pompeo ambaye siku ya mwisho ya uongozi wake alitangaza kuwawekea vikwazo vya visa kuingia Marekani baadhi ya viongozi wa Tanzania akiwatuhumu kuvuruga uchaguzi, amezuiliwa kuingia China kwa kutuhumiwa kufanya kampeni ya kuichafua China, kuvuruga mahusiano kati ya China na USA, na kuingilia na kuhatarisha maslahi binafsi ya China.
Kila muosha huoshwa!

Hapo jana tarehe 20 Jan. China imetangaza kuwawekea rasmi vikwanzo viongozi 28 walio kuwa kwenye serikali ya Trump.
Miongoni mwa viongozi hao ni Secretary of State anayemaliza Muda wake Mike Pompeo.
Pia viongozi wengine ni kama trade chief Peter Navarro, National Security Advisers Robert O'Brien na John Bolton, Health Secretary Alex Azar, U.N. ambassador Kelly Craft and former top Trump aide Steve Bannon.
Sanction hiyo ni pamoja na kutoruhusiwa kuingia China, Hong Kong na Macao.
Pia makampuni na mashirika yoyote yenye uhusiano na viongozi hao, hayata fanya biashara na China.
China wanasema Sanction hiyo ni kutokana na viongozi hao, kwa nyakati tofauti kuingilia na kutoa maneno machafu kuhusu Chine yenye lengo la kuichafua na kuiangusha kiuchumi.

China imposes sanctions on 28 Trump-era officials including Mike Pompeo and Steve Bannon for interfering 'in China's internal affairs'
China says it wants to cooperate with President Joe Biden's new US administration, while announcing sanctions against "lying and cheating" outgoing secretary of state Mike Pompeo and 27 other top officials under Donald Trump.
In a striking repudiation of its relationship with Washington under Mr Trump, the Chinese foreign ministry announced the sanctions in a statement that appeared on its website around the time that Mr Biden was taking the presidential oath.
Mr Pompeo and the others had "planned, promoted and executed a series of crazy moves, gravely interfered in China's internal affairs, undermined China's interests, offended the Chinese people, and seriously disrupted China-US relations", it said.
The other outgoing and former Trump officials sanctioned included trade chief Peter Navarro, national security advisers Robert O'Brien and John Bolton, health secretary Alex Azar, UN ambassador Kelly Craft and former top Trump aide Steve Bannon.
The 28 ex-officials and immediate family members would be banned from entering mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao, and companies and institutions associated with them restricted from doing business with China.

China has imposed sanctions on US politicians in the past year, but targeting so many former and outgoing US officials on inauguration day was an unusual expression of disdain.
Mr Blinken said he agreed with Mr Pompeo's genocide assessment.
China has repeatedly rejected accusations of abuse in its western Xinjiang region, where a United Nations panel has said at least 1 million Uyghurs and other Muslims had been detained in camps.
Responding to the Xinjiang allegations, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a media briefing on Wednesday: "Pompeo has made so many lies in recent years, and this is just another bald-faced lie".
"This US politician is notorious for lying and cheating, is making himself a laughing stock and a clown," she said.
Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.
Mr Blinken said he agreed with Mr Pompeo's genocide assessment.
Ms Hua said China hoped "the new administration will work together with China in the spirit of mutual respect, properly handle differences and conduct more win-win cooperation in more sectors".
"We hope the new US administration can have their own reasonable and cool-minded judgment on Xinjiang issues, among other issues."
However, Twitter has locked the account of China's US embassy for a tweet that defended China's policies in the Xinjiang region.
The Chinese Embassy posted this month saying that Uyghur women were no longer "baby making machines", citing a study reported by state-backed newspaper China Daily.
The tweet was removed by Twitter and replaced by a label stating that it was no longer available.
The US social media platform said the tweet violated the firm's policy against "dehumanisation".
"We've taken action on the Tweet you referenced for violating our policy against dehumanisation, where it states: We prohibit the dehumanization of a group of people based on their religion, caste, age, disability, serious disease, national origin, race, or ethnicity," a Twitter spokesperson said on Thursday.

'All of that speaks to an effort to commit genocide'
Mr Pompeo, who unleashed a barrage of measures against China in his final weeks in office, announced on Tuesday that the Trump administration had determined that China had committed "genocide and crimes against humanity" against Uyghur Muslims.Mr Blinken said he agreed with Mr Pompeo's genocide assessment.
