Let
$A$ be a separable amenable purely infinite simple
${{C}^{*}}$-algebra which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. We prove that
$A$ is weakly semiprojective if and only if
${{K}_{i}}(A\text{)}$ is a countable direct sum of finitely generated groups
$\left( i\,=\,0,\,1 \right)$. Therefore, if
$A$ is such a
${{C}^{*}}$-algebra, for any
$\varepsilon \,>\,0$ and any finite subset
$\mathcal{F}\,\subset \,A$ there exist
$\delta \,>\,0$ and a finite subset
$G\,\subset \,A$ satisfying the following: for any contractive positive linear map
$L\,:\,A\,\to \,B$ (for any
${{C}^{*}}$-algebra
$B$) with
$||L\left( ab \right)\,-\,L\left( a \right)L\left( b \right)||\,<\,\delta$ for
$a,\,b\,\in \,\mathcal{G}$ there exists a homomorphism
$h:\,A\,\to \,B$ such that
$||\,h\left( a \right)\,-\,L\left( a \right)||\,<\,\varepsilon$ for
$a\,\in \,\mathcal{F}$.
