As a Jamaican the Chinese are more talented and skilled with these road projects in terms of the technology and technologies and engineers, we need to develop our civil engineering sector in order for us to have the experience to get the work done, our public works departments and engineers need training the government needs to setup a program where government employees and regular workers can get the skilled training so they can be able to do projects on a large scale as the Chinese worker can do
Extreem I agree these governing body have to act now because in the future the road will need to be maintained and repair and we would love for our Jamaican to be able to do these jobs properly. Thanks for the support I appreciate it.
Have you even see a project in Jamaica which is maintained by all Jamaican workers? The Jamaican contractors take so long to complete and the materials they used is substandard! Just imagine if the Seaga highway was made by Jamaican contractors it would be still in the preparation phase! There are good Jamaican contractors but the workers around them are the problem!
It's the manager's problem to not hire people who want to work and do a good job. If they don't want to work let them go. Let them know from the start that is how things go. We are too lax.

Awesome video good to see the work is getting done….But!!! And I say but because who will be maintaining these new roads being built . We all know about road maintenance already, will there be weight limits for trucks to travel on these highways? If there are no weight limits, no maintenance in place then it’s not gonna last. We have to think long term when it comes to infrastructure…..again love the video 👊
There is another video giving detailed information on the building of the Kingston to the north coast road. It tells a lot of all the engineering and terrain problems they had to take into consideration. Those engineers are top in their field. I learnt a lot watching it. Our little country is a road builder's nightmare. I can see why "dash likkle marl inna de pothole" didn't work for all these years. (lol)
Britain should have do all this for free after all the owe us money oo well they will have to pay us all soon they owe each Jamaican 14 million 800 thousand and that's conservative
A video I saw yesterday beautifully explained the situation between China, Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean at large, so I think I have an idea of what is going on. From what I understand; the reason why China has so much of its workers in Jamaica (and why they are giving the country funding to finish many of these major infrastructure projects) is because of a massive unemployment issue back in China. China is having trouble finding work opportunities for its people and its economy, so they try to seek employment outside the country to help boost its economy. China also has a natural resource and housing problem, hence why China is so interested in countries that have open land for development, dormant factories and ports with which it can then operate. Naturally, the Jamaican government is taking FULL advantage of this, controlling the amount of access China has over Jamaica as well as expediting well needed growth for their own economy.
The information you've fed about Jamaica having control over the Chinese access is quite far from the truth my friend. Jamaica like all the other Caribbean Islands and African Countries who has entered into these deals with China will in the long run become Chinese properties when the allotted time of repayment expires and the debt is not paid. This is not a good deal for Jamaica. Both successive Governments has sent Jamaica down a slippery slope with this Chinese takeover type of deal. The Chinese already owns Kingston Harbor, that should speak volume to you, why would another country wants to own someone else's port harbor and why would I have sell you my port of harbor before you grant me a massive infrastructure so-called "loan" ? You guys are not seeing the bigger picture, all you are seeing is pretty roads weh mek unuh skin ketch ah fyah cau Jamaica have highways now. SMDH !
@@kardomafia2598 If you did a little more research and stopped letting the public media control you so much you'd know this is not necessarily the case for Jamaica or the Caribbean. You're listening to the same people who said China would line the North-South highway with hotels, restaurants and businesses; and would be making us learn Mandarin as a second language by now. What China is doing right now is not much different than what the U.S. and Europe had done decades ago. You're acting like China is the first time Jamaica got highways. Where were you people when France did it first back in the 2000s? France also used to own part of Kingston Harbour in the past around that time too, why weren't you making a big stink over it THEN? How soon you guys forget! China owns 100% shares in Kingston Harbour yes, but PAJ still owns Kingston Harbour itself; just as it did before. China owning shares in other countries is nothing new; one of them is the Netherlands - which is a rich and developed country - yet China owns shares in it. In fact, Jamaica's overall debt is falling, and is starting to fund its own projects while depending less on China for loans. I'm not saying people shouldn't be vigilant when mega-sized states like China come offering such assistance to smaller countries, but you need to think more rationally. The moment China sets foot on Jamaican shores, you people get confused, look to the larger Northern countries that influenced us for years, and when they start crying foul you people join them. You need to stop listening to vocal propaganda and dig a little deeper.
The best roads in Jamaica are the old school roads made from sand and not marl. Those last 50+ years and even dilapidated are a pleasurable road surface to drive on. They deal with water damage well. So it would have been good to have Britain build more roads again.
I am a first time subscriber. However my take on this is while, the Chinese is investing in JA, my fear is will the County be taken over eventually by the Chinese Government? JA run from the English for independence only to now run in the hands of the Chinese taking over? Well I just hope there will be enough property for the Jamaican citizen to still own. And while things are looking beautiful we must realize that our Government needs to stop giving away so much to outsiders & the rich Jamaicans need to ask invest in their Country! Also I am concern about the safety of widening the road which is build above this water
A shoulda 90% Chinese. The roads would finish already. 😅 but it's good to know Jamaicans get to be apart of it and get a earning. Know we jobs no much already
The Brits doesn't like the fact that Jamaica plans to ditch the privy council and the crown and be a republic. As a Jamaican that have traveled abroad and seen impossible turned into possible, I say to the Brit's thanks for rejecting the proposal to develop the roads. In a sense the Chiney man neva colonize and hold mi independence hostage.
Why is everyone so upset because of this rapid development. The Chinese were able to get Jamaica on the road to a better economy. The British were in Jamaica for over 400 years and they left us with a sub-standard infrastructure. The Chinese accomplished this in less time. We know it will cost us but this is price we have to pay to compete in this Global economy
I live in Britain, they don't do road construction it is done by the Irish they are and have the majority of contracts to do 99% of the building work. Recently they have been using Polish builders also.
I think the ratio of workers in workers is fair, they get more work done that way. I think the Chinese road workers have more experience, hence they work faster.
and let's be honest.... if they slack off they will be shamed by their own people. Jamaicans sometimes we are too full of style and take work for a joke.
The reason why more Chinese Jamaican complain too much lazy , and many more reason behind for example if it was a Jamaican doing that road money would a finish already workers complain about pay u name it extortion Jesus,. blessings to the Chinese work well done it's beautiful.
Poppy that’s how business conduct on a international scale, it’s the same thing American and every European countries does, used labor and most of the money stays with the lenders
Am really happy for this forum Jamaican it's so sad that we are all different ppl in this world but if you all want to talk about bad debt and loan look to Canada and USA they are so called first world countries so why they are influences across many lamaican s because of Chinese loan and involvement in a project like this so much ignorant Jamaica'ns cannot appreciate positive development can China use an aeroplane to move Jamaica to China or a ship to take Jamaica bro China it's negotiable loans they don't materialise they goes in bad debt.
Look at the road that they build in Westmoreland from Ferris Cross up to Mackfield and tell me more about Chinese workmanship. A two times already they have to dig it up.
Highway's and u the people are still suffering what's the sense of that nothing for the poor people in Jamaica giving everything to the foreigners with no access to the beaches
You are think Britain love you? Them use you as slaves and they want you to remain slaves to them. You expect your enemy to construct roads for you? 🙂😂😂😂😂 me I laugh
China is the world leading industrial power house of the world, they got the equimpment and the man power to execute any project in any part of the world, sadly , the british do not, they take years to even do a simple project in their own country, this project was too big for them, that is how far they have fallen from the top.
Jamaica giving away our lands to china in the name of roads, fifty years the Chinese will have the high way for fifty years and every day there overwhelming amount of new motors using the high way the road is alright but the deal no real
Our engineers are long gone or straight out of university picked up from overseas talent seekers. So I'm not surprised the ones left do sloppy work and foreigners whom have a lot to lose complete the project on time and properly.
The British n the Americans only saw us as their playground n vacationing SPOT. All they were interesting in were hotels n our farm workers NOTHING ELSE. They were never interested to see our infrastructure get any better . They were always content to ave us as their servants NOTHING MORE and when I say this I am saying this from the view of a 75 years old man who has always travelled all over our beautiful island observing and wondering why de powers dat be did not see our vast POTENTIAL in every aspect. BLESSED LOVE TO ALL JAH PEOPLE UPON HIS EARTH especially Us JAMAICANS
CHEC uses their own labor all over the world for one primary reason - it reduces the cost of the project because Chinese labor is (comparatively) dirt cheap and culturally easy to manage. And yes, they are highly skilled and experienced. I hope that in Jamaica and elsewhere, there is at least knowledge transfer so that these places don't end up beholden to China for generations to come. Because make no mistake, when the Chinese plan, they plan the next century.
Brother havent our contractors were given piece of the pie What some of them did dragging their feet Question what if they were not so involved . ST THOMAS PEOPLE WOULD SUFFER
Right now the Britain had to invited Chinese engineers to help complete high speed railway 🚅 because they were struggling to meet deadlines, cost had gone sky high. China have trillions, therefore to make their money value increase, they had invested in other countries eg third world countries who need vital infrastructures such as roads, bridges, high tech wharves etc. In most collaborations a percent ratio workforces are needed.
Why question about the Chinese workers. The more Chinese workers the faster the project finish. Otherwise they would have to teach the Jamaican. Which would take time. Moreover, most Jamaican are not punctual with time. The Chinese are more hard working people.
China has a middle class that is the same size as the entire population of the USA. Of course they do have an overall population of a billion. which leaves a lot of poor people still, but they understand how to rapidly grow their economy. We can learn from them.
Thanks John Rucumbine, China control all Toll for fifty years and after the fifty year jamaican will be able to take back ownership of the tolls and lands that they least China. In my opinion the arrangement is not a bad one
@@sharntaite5kmedia537 exactly. Jamaica put no money upfront. Jamaica would have to pay terribly high interest rate if it was to issue bonds on the open market. People who complain about the toll road don't understand how money works.
TO ALL OF THESE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE CHINA DEVELOPMENT OF ALL THE YEARS ENGLAND AND AMERICA CONTROLLING JAMAICA, WHAT DEVELOPMENT HAVE THEY DONE THEY COULDN'T US IMF LOANS TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY THE CHINESE ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB IF IT WAS NOT FOR THEM WE WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN ONE HIGHWAY, WE WOULD BE STILL TAKING ONE DAY FROM MOBAY TO KINGSTON
it's called stockholm syndrome. people sympathize with their opressors... so jamaicans have affinity towards British and other Anglos like the US and Canada.
China playing the long game.. they Jamaica can’t pay them back….i’m guessing in order to capitalize on this investment.. they would want some holdings in Jamaica’s wharf and other corporate fields if ja can’t pay back the b4 the lease time is finished. In the business world no one give a helping for free, in 1 way or another they have to pay a price. That’s my take from china giving an open arms, hey, I could be wrong.
@@sharntaite5kmedia537 That's not the case brother, don't follow western propaganda, China and Chinese know poverty and colonization as we Jamaicans they are trying to help us develop. These loans have no interest rates, not like IMF and world bank, the roads pay for themselves in toll money. All our jamaican companies are owned by Americans , Alcoa, JPS, coffee industry, sugar cane what's left for China to get. Our ports need development and we need to export more products. What we produce in jamaica? Think about it we have to develop manufacturing and service sectors, farming that's all on the government and private sector and citizens who can fund these projects
Your badmind wishes Jamaica can't pay it bak. that's what it is. as long as jamaica keeps growing it can pay.... people drive on the highways and pay tolls - that's what services the loans
@@anitasherriffe9120 that's kind of my point. We should be worrying about ourselves and they should be building their own roads not depending upon others to build and create infrastructure for them.
Just bear in mind that expertise and equipment are required to build this kind of infrastructure. These are expected to be long-lasting, esp. since we're not only in the earthquake zone but susceptible to hurricanes and other natural disasters. Remember also that we're a small developing nation without ALL required for a project of this magnitude. What is hoped though is that our local engineers and contractors learn from these Chinese experts to be able to build the next high way on their own.
Unity is strength. You want division because people are feeble by themselves. Everyone needs allies and why not with a country that has no colonies in Africa or anywhere else. A country that has not bombed the middle east or Africa, has never had African slaves, are you getting it?

BLESSED LOVE TO ALL JAH PEOPLE UPON HIS EARTH especially Us JAMAICANS
CHEC uses their own labor all over the world for one primary reason - it reduces the cost of the project because Chinese labor is (comparatively) dirt cheap and culturally easy to manage. And yes, they are highly skilled and experienced.
I hope that in Jamaica and elsewhere, there is at least knowledge transfer so that these places don't end up beholden to China for generations to come.
Because make no mistake, when the Chinese plan, they plan the next century.
I like the USA 🇺🇸 to stop this China in Jamaica 🇯🇲 please 🇯🇲 USA 🇺🇸
Brother havent our contractors were given piece of the pie What some of them did dragging their feet Question what if they were not so involved . ST THOMAS PEOPLE WOULD SUFFER
These roads are too narrow. It appears that they are not thinking about future growth and development.
Then train system - not more roads.
Right now the Britain had to invited Chinese engineers to help complete high speed railway 🚅 because they were struggling to meet deadlines, cost had gone sky high.
China have trillions, therefore to make their money value increase, they had invested in other countries eg third world countries who need vital infrastructures such as roads, bridges, high tech wharves etc.
In most collaborations a percent ratio workforces are needed.
Chinese workers are way better then us, they work so fast no complaints. I have experience with them, there are monsters
Why question about the Chinese workers. The more Chinese workers the faster the project finish. Otherwise they would have to teach the Jamaican. Which would take time. Moreover, most Jamaican are not punctual with time. The Chinese are more hard working people.
Excellent point L C M I agree. Thanks for the support I appreciate it.
Tell them (Chinese) to start working on the railway now Jamaica need the trains to run🚅🚅🚅
No Football fields in Sun Coast?
Carl the developers didn't mentioned a football field enuh but I think a mini field would be great. Thanks for the support Carl I appreciate it.
China has a middle class that is the same size as the entire population of the USA. Of course they do have an overall population of a billion. which leaves a lot of poor people still, but they understand how to rapidly grow their economy. We can learn from them.
Shema thanks for this great info and I appreciate your support
Other than raw materials, rum, athletes and music what does Jamaica have to offer the rest of the world?
Every road, they building in Jamaica look the same and cheap
Finally someone with a brain.
great video,too much to develop the"realm",while a lot of places in Jamaica is still considered as "crown" land and I see no "king"in Jamaica.SMH.
Thanks Jacques appreciate the support respect
Glad I have been eating Chinese food for over 30yrs.. 😂
Because all thay do take China. Help other country. England. Don't
Thanks Hutchinson appreciate the support
50/50???
Can swear heard audio by you PM stating that the figure is more like 40/ 60, where local workers were 40%.
Something is fishy here. 🇨🇦🍁
Matsui thanks for the support appreciate it. The research I did said 50/50 but if the PM said 40/60 I'll check it out and see how accurate that is. m
So beautiful video and nice details,have a great day po
Thank you! You too!😊😊
So that is the price Jamaica pays. Everything has a price tag, brother.
Thanks John Rucumbine, China control all Toll for fifty years and after the fifty year jamaican will be able to take back ownership of the tolls and lands that they least China. In my opinion the arrangement is not a bad one
@@sharntaite5kmedia537 exactly. Jamaica put no money upfront. Jamaica would have to pay terribly high interest rate if it was to issue bonds on the open market. People who complain about the toll road don't understand how money works.
If you don't have law and order in a country you have nothing
And why they getting so much land Jamaican can't have
Sandra I thinks it's least they paying for the lands but I'm going to check it out to be certain. Thanks for the support appreciate it.
TO ALL OF THESE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE CHINA DEVELOPMENT
OF ALL THE YEARS ENGLAND AND AMERICA CONTROLLING JAMAICA, WHAT DEVELOPMENT HAVE THEY DONE
THEY COULDN'T US IMF LOANS TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY THE CHINESE ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB
IF IT WAS NOT FOR THEM WE WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN ONE HIGHWAY, WE WOULD BE STILL TAKING ONE DAY FROM MOBAY TO KINGSTON
it's called stockholm syndrome. people sympathize with their opressors... so jamaicans have affinity towards British and other Anglos like the US and Canada.
China playing the long game.. they Jamaica can’t pay them back….i’m guessing in order to capitalize on this investment.. they would want some holdings in Jamaica’s wharf and other corporate fields if ja can’t pay back the b4 the lease time is finished. In the business world no one give a helping for free, in 1 way or another they have to pay a price. That’s my take from china giving an open arms, hey, I could be wrong.
Simplefootball I consider that too enuh but I really hope that not the case. Thanks for the support appreciate it
@@sharntaite5kmedia537 That's not the case brother, don't follow western propaganda, China and Chinese know poverty and colonization as we Jamaicans they are trying to help us develop. These loans have no interest rates, not like IMF and world bank, the roads pay for themselves in toll money. All our jamaican companies are owned by Americans , Alcoa, JPS, coffee industry, sugar cane what's left for China to get. Our ports need development and we need to export more products. What we produce in jamaica? Think about it we have to develop manufacturing and service sectors, farming that's all on the government and private sector and citizens who can fund these projects
So what! What can Jamaican show for been a servant to UK/US for all these years since independence? Debit and crime…
Your badmind wishes Jamaica can't pay it bak. that's what it is. as long as jamaica keeps growing it can pay.... people drive on the highways and pay tolls - that's what services the loans
Hi Sharn, Have you forgiven your parent/parents for naming you after a dead actress?😂
Lol 😆 Bill who was that I never heard of that actress thanks for the support appreciated it
@@sharntaite5kmedia537 Her name was Sharon Tate. She was murdered by the Charles Manson gang, back in the sixties or seventies. Look it up.
Maybe yall should build your own roads and stop depending on other countries to take care of you
Thanks Alias for your support I appreciate it.
Worry about your own country.
@@anitasherriffe9120 that's kind of my point. We should be worrying about ourselves and they should be building their own roads not depending upon others to build and create infrastructure for them.
Just bear in mind that expertise and equipment are required to build this kind of infrastructure. These are expected to be long-lasting, esp. since we're not only in the earthquake zone but susceptible to hurricanes and other natural disasters. Remember also that we're a small developing nation without ALL required for a project of this magnitude. What is hoped though is that our local engineers and contractors learn from these Chinese experts to be able to build the next high way on their own.
Unity is strength. You want division because people are feeble by themselves. Everyone needs allies and why not with a country that has no colonies in Africa or anywhere else. A country that has not bombed the middle east or Africa, has never had African slaves, are you getting it?
