Script:
Having recently completed both the world’s most extensive system of expressways and the planet’s longest high speed rail network, China is now looking beyond its borders for opportunities to keep building. President Xi Jinping announced at a recent summit that Beijing has sealed megaproject deals with 65 countries throughout Eurasia and Africa to construct ports, power stations, rail lines, roads, and all the tunnels and bridges needed to connect them back to mainland China.
At a total cost of over $1 trillion, the One Belt, One Road initiative is unprecedented in size and scope. So is the bold funding mechanism: China will use its large, state-run banks to provide most of the financing, a risky move, when you consider how few of the nations in the O.B.O.R. could afford something like this on their own. “Oh,” say the leaders of economically-challenged, underdeveloped Laos, Yemen, or Ethiopia - or the blood-soaked regime of Bashar al-Assad in war-ravaged Syria - “you want to loan us billions of dollars to build some cool stuff in our countries? Of course, why not!?”
China is hard-selling the project as a way to boost its westward connections, an update of the silk road trade route that played a significant role in developing China and the rest of the region 1,000 years ago. But many analysts see this comparison as little more than a marketing pitch.
Al Jazeera clip: “Is the real point of this, East-West service then simply to boost China’s westward connections?
[Pauline Loong] “Well I wouldn’t say simply to boost China’s westward connections, but I totally agree with Charles that it’s more a PR stunt. To call it the “Silk Road,” that’s really brilliant-evocative of romantic camel travels in the past. When, you know, you have these lovely silks and trade and so forth. And it’s good, because look at all the headlines it has been getting, but in practical terms, it’s early days yet.”
[Bryce] Aside from the lessons China learned from its own recent infrastructure boom, Beijing is also drawing inspiration from the American Marshall Plan which financed the rebuilding of Western Europe after it was decimated during the second world war. That program was worth the equivalent of $130 billion in today’s dollars and ensured the US had reliable export markets for the manufactured goods and machinery its growing economy had become dependent on producing.
China’s modern version - first announced in 2013 - is the signature initiative of President Xi Jinping. Several projects have already been completed. Earlier this year London became the 15th European city connected directly to China through an ever-expanding global rail system, meaning freight trains loaded with goods can now arrive after a 12,000km journey all the way from the east coast of the landmass.
And, at a cost of $4 billion, China also just completed Africa’s first transnational electric railway, which runs 466 miles from Djibouti to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Chinese companies designed the system, built the line, and supplied the train cars...
In my country (Montenegro) nobody wanted to invest in building a 850mil highway. Guess what happened? China stepped in and in 2 years we will have our first highway EVER!
Thank you China!
I m glad you realize how China is helping the less privileged countries. Besides your country China is also helping many other countries where no one willing to loan a single cent to them and yet China is pouring in billions to develop their country.
Reason why so many countries complaining is because they are jealous of China gaining strength day by day
machine operator China building,USA diminishing.
_... China stepped in and in 2 years we will have our first highway EVER! ..._
it's a loan and you seem to be sure that your politicians will not steal some of that money, in a corrupt country such as yours.
I laugh at your empty insults.
China is trying to buy influence but Montenegro is not going to help the Chinese position in the world. And Montenegro will now be expect to be wedded to China on everything and I mean everything.
Not gonna lie, this video does sound very biased, in the end China is building infrastructures for 60+ countries while we are currently bombing 7+ countries, the past 2 decades has proven China wants to trade while our first instinct is always war, it really doesn't matter how you spin it from a political angle, just simply ask all the common people that are living in those 60+ countries: do you guys want highways and trains? I think their answers would surprise nobody.
Well said, Tony
China murders people by the tens of thousands; they have one of the worst human rights records - did you forget decades of oppression and starvation? Well, with permanent term limits, it's coming back. There are millions of Chinese starving; by 2020, you won't even be able to get food unless you have a proper Orwellian ranking.
do not sit with delusions that the one belt one road initiative is out of kindness. its to exert their influence.
@@FussyPickles where did you learn that the trash? Western propaganda?
Correction guy,
Delusions?
Infrastructure often pays for itself many times over through trade. Cities often develop around these areas as well. This helps both countries. If the host country does not do anything, od course they would have more problems. Many countries are already showing benefits from China's construction and is already well documented.
Everyone is influenced by each other. And that can be thru trade technology or other things. We all try to get what is best for us. This benefits both country with China footing a good chunk of the cost and engineering.

Do you realize China brought 800 million people out of poverty? And this is according to western media!
According to the World Bank, more than 500 million people were lifted out of extreme poverty as China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 6.5 percent in 2012.
The country's poverty rate dropped from 10.2 per cent in 2012 to 3.1 per cent in 2017.
Now tell me, what is the poverty rate in the US?
I love how all of the comments call this guy out for his political bias. Good to see propaganda doesn't work on all.
I'm really glad too!!!
What is 1 Trillion US$? Just 17 month of crazy US military budget.
What is 1 Trillion US$? Just 5% of US government debt.
What is 1 Trillion US$? Just 20 month of US trade balance deficit.
So think twice before making FUD statements against this project.
Roland Mösl tcyrqig
Well investing 8 trillion dollars in afganistan was the best project and sucessfull....they destroyed it
Roland Mösl Money for war in the United States if it is used to help other countries. Poverty has long been eradicated.
China says that she is not interested in becoming the so called 'next superpower' or the world leader.
But China is simply demonstrating to the world how a world leader should behave. By action without too much talk.
OBOR 1 trillion dollar, Iraqi war 3 trillion. Even if China saw no return on its OBOR , it is still money better spent.

"It doesn't matter if you are a democracy or a dictatorship, China wants to work with you..." Hahaha!!! Do you realize how many dictatorships has America supported, and how many elected democracies overthrown?
yep see venezuela now. people elect maduro but USA support others.
The most recent case is Venezuela and it is surely not the last one.
the most famous one?? iranian mossadegh... he was the most popular iranian politician at that time... he just got elected by massive popular vote then the brits and the yanks came and start to wreak havoc...
The whole world know how hypocrites US are and they are definitely the troublemaker everywhere they goes !!! Shameless bustards!!!
so why did America overthrow Iran’s elected government in favor of the Shah?
I think you are missing the point. In the last 30 years China has been able to lift about 500 million people out of poverty. They are now consumers. The Belt and Road initiative will continue this trend, on top of that potentially 100s of millions of more people all across Asia, Eastern Europe, even Africa and South America. This can be such a boost to the world economy. Think about Central Asia and the Middle East, if a person is doing better financially, they are lot longer tempted to strap an explosive belt around their chest and blow themselves (and others) up. I am convinced the Belt and Road will lead to better prosperity and more peace in the world. A real win -win for everybody.
Have you heard of Tilliman Square? Know what China is doing to Hong Kong in 2047? Heard of the great firewall of china? Heard of people "going to school" after being found to be against China's only political party, never seen again?
Try talking bad about your president while a citizen of china. Never seen again. Have fun!
John Locke is never seen again
Nah this is USA. I don't get imprisoned for my political opinions :)
Ever heard of Waco siege ? People died during the operation never killed or did any crime punishable by death punishment. The square you are referring to is not Tilliman square but Tiananmen Square. I am sure you have never criticized Sisi for what he did at Rabaa Square, thats almost an identical crisis but very less coverage because its against the interest of Nationalist americans. I am sure you would not criticize Abu Gharib Jail or the mass killing and genocide of north koreans during Korean war Where US General said we just wanted to kill as many people as possible with the bombing. People who have zero respect for human rights should not educate other how to deal their countries. I do not hate USA, They have one of the best people, role model in many things but stop talking about human rights and stop being world police.
I'm Chinese. I can tell you for a fact that china is not encouraging citizens to put there hard earned saving in the immature stock market via the work of propaganda. This guy has no idea what he's talking about. Besides, if OBOR is a huge mistake, that's a mistake that china will swallow. What left behind are infrastructures in parts of the world that Americans can't even pronounce. If it's a successful investment, China will be benefited. But isn't this the nature of taking risk and rewarding risk? This guy makes it sound like only the West is qualified to invest. Whatever the investments the West make is high quality and is good for the people as well as the environment. I bet he will find ways to justify the exiting of the Paris accord too. This is really the propaganda on TH-cam backed by the West!
oooh dear it is what you said, is a fact as compared to the rhetorical theories in this video, THIS PARIS ACCORD IS NOT FOR THE CLIMATE I BELIEVE.pose yourself the question why will the west be ready to pay a compensation to less polluting countries when they have states with huge public debts. it is simply because you they make it look like it is, but it is a way to control emerging economies.
“The West” doesn’t really capture who the bad guys are. It is the British and their NeoCon running dogs that pump out this garbage pile of lies, and ignorant conclusions. The USA must join the New Silk Road. LaRouchepac.com has a hundred explanations why that is good for USA.
Steven Guan haha this video is truly cringe. Do i want to learn more about China megaprojects through this channels biased goggles? Nope
For God's sake keep the Americans out of that! What do you think they will contribute except a long a long sanction list for countries they don't like? Besides, they could have started this more than half a century ago!
I LOVE CHINA
Salty criticism
This is too negative. China has been the world traders and building this connection will give benefit not only in China but also in the adjacent countries along the way. Even Africa's economy will be improve due to this ease of trade
It's a wolf in sheep's clothing. This project would force the world to be dependent on China for key supply chains. On top of that, majority of the nations involved can't afford this, forcing them to concede their debt to China, granting China ownership of assets in these regions. China wants to be the heart of the world and the implications that go a long with that are in no one's interests.
Agree with many, there is such a negative spin on everything. The FACT that CHINA, a single nation dared to do OBOR and convinced 65 countries is already AMAZING!! China aims to connect, not destroy or isolate or insulate... the world should applaud, support and not suspect, doubt and wish it to fail. What did Western superpowers do for the world? create bully coalitions armed to the teeth to pulpurise or rob or enslave 3rd world countries with puny militaries. There is a bright future for so many peoples connected like never before.
赞同你的观点
i agree with you
No No, China is trying rule the world ! They use their peoples to invading the nations. China plan is Made the countries submit with China. We won't be like Uyghur that got Human discrimination by stupid virus China !
@@ZZ-ug2bp wow your english…
at least China is not invading and destroying entire cities, growing heroin poppy field, etc etc, China is building, new roads new tech means new ways to do things, faster and smarter, I think China is a clear example countries can work together and benefit poor people
Wrong China is spending money for its benefit only.
leader of free world with most prisoners
While most of the prisoners in the US are still free in the street. That's why the US have more human attacks than China.
truth.
I swear obama tried to legalise those drugs
Some of the Chinese prison numbers are small because Mao executed tens of millions of them.
Obama did not try to legalize any of it.
Biased hate speech here. What a shame
This video is extremely biased
biased towards the truth
Will you list the points on which you think it is biased and explain clearly the nature of that bias, so perhaps an informed debate can ensue.

There just giving you brain food to show you what’s happening in China because communism is goodEnglish but do you see the spending more and more which means you’re losing more because they’re collecting to corrupt nations
Candy Gobbler all of europe nations are the dogs of The Us,
Some people believe in walls ..Some believe in bridges
AND CHINA HAS A WALL AND NOW BUILDING BRIDGES LIKE A TREE WITH MANY ROOTS
Amen
YOU KIND OF STUPID,,,,,
What a wise answer!!!
Yes, Trump is a threat to capitalism.
Politics aside, please answer me how US helped third world country in the last 20 years in terms of economics? No very much. Africa is still as poor with billions in debt, central Asia in civil war with no ending in sight and a war is building up in east Asia supplied by US weapons.
So since US is not very successful in the last 20 years with helping the poor, when not let China at least try for once. If they fail then laugh all you want, but if they are successful then billions would benefit. I mean at least you are not the one who is paying for that, then why all the rage? Are you a Chinese who is paying tax to china?
Yang Liu Mainly since it has no real interest in Africa like absolutely none in fact it's currently beginning talks with post-IS to rebuild the war torn Iraq and Afghanistan.
please be more clarify with what is IT at beginning of your sentence. Also, talk is just talk, if government want, it can drag for 10 years before anything is done, and the thing is for regular people like me, I do not have too many 10 years. Are you telling me to wait for 10 years and endure the pain and poor? And please no rage about people being selfish with fast development, that is not a reason you can say to people in Middle East or other third world countries.
Rage? No I only responded your question, no the US has no real interest in Africa. The interest is all directed in the Middle East, and the talks are in premature state because IS as you know is still in Iraq and Middle East. If you want a specific answer the countries they share interest are
Turkey
Iraq
Afghanistan
Jordan
Israel
Saudi Arabia
Egypt
Mostly in Israel to keep the Palestine conflict at bay(basically Muslims threaten Jewish state and only 2 states Egypt and Jordan recognized them as a sovereignty)
Saudi Arabia it has a deep commitment to deter Iran and it wants to make a Arabic NATO and sees the kingdom as a country it can rely on.
Turkey it is a NATO ally, unfortunately Obama screwed us and we had to use the Kurds to combat the IS jihadis. It's very complicated but Turkey hates all KURDS, now the US likes some. (Get my drift? conflicting ties)
Iraq and Afghanistan are both countries that harbor jihadi IS and the taliban yeah the shadow government that rued most of the Middle East. (Taliban is labeled terrorist because.... read what's going on in Afghanistan the people there don't want them back in power)
Also NATO technically isn't going away until 2020( by then hopefully the future is brighter and those two countries can officially grow and develop into like rich countries)
That's all (Jordan is just an ally for some reason dating back to the Cold War.
China won't fail, it already brought 600 million out of poverty in China. It will do the same elsewhere.
Well said. China is just want to be better and better. Imagine if you are the only rich and surrounding China all are poor. Then who else afford to buy with China. China now is trying to build trust to the world and not terrifying to the world. If other country economy rise naturally China will gains. There is a Chinese Proverb " wo wei ren ren , ren ren wei wo " Literally mean: I am for everyone, everyone is for me. China will gain respect from world not by force but with peace benefit. China and U.S is different way. China is looking far future. I hope U.S start to learn new method to communicate with the world. Don't always use war to settle issue. When you bang another country properties for peaceful purpose!? Will you later repair or pay back to the victims losses?
Jealous much??? 😂😂😂
Chinese are smarter than you..!!! Don't tell them how to calculate....!!!
China is smarter stealing intellectual properties of the west. Give me one technology that Chinese develop their own. What they are doing now, USA did it 200 years back. Only cheap labor, currency manipulation and govt fund giving them the edge. Jealous of what? Nothing. Govt get to tell their people what to do.

Just look at the comments below, 9.0 out of 10 comments were criticising USA, like it or not the general public has apparently lost faith and confidence in USA.
Would you call it united ?!!…….. Or Divided😳-- Rich get richer the poor get the picture !! Simply ask Prime-minister of the Isle of ‘ New Caledonian ‘ as was during interview year or so back . * Your having China come & raise your houses/ huts off the ground ? P M - We’ve been with the west since 1900s & *STILL - in same position . They plan to help us get our houses up off a disappearing Isle here in Pacific !
The intention of OBOR is to develop these countries, when they have better infrastructure and better economy, china can do business with them. It is a long-term strategy and it is win-win. Chinese say teach him fishing instead of give him fish, build roads or power plants is some kind of teaching fishing, it helps local industry and economy, with this local government has the ability to improve people's living standard.
It is true that in the short run, an increase in trading and commerce will benefit the wealthy and elite more, but in the long run, supply and demand will spread out the benefit to the poorer class as well. China is long term sighted, and focuses more on bringing out the hidden potential (natural resource) of the less developed countries. We should be glad that they focus on this rather than military and war in another country (If you get my reference).
Superpower Dragon And what about their expansion in the south china sea?
however wonder if it will bite China in the butt when they open op for cheap tranport from central asian countries with very low wages etc. and yes if we look at africa where china have investet a ton of money they mainly focus on rawmatiral extraction
Kenneth Hermann I don't think they're thinking about that at all right now. I think they are just trying to keep spending high so they're economy can grow as fast as possible and avoid a slowdown for the time being. Because when there is a slowdown it'll show the Chinese people that the CCP can't offer them increasing quality of life
Thatguythere98 This is not an expansion, it's getting back.
No, china want the debt slave, so they trapped these countries into infrastructure debt-trap, so they are at the the mercy of Chinese, kowtowing to the Chinese. The first concessions is South China Sea, after all those shady infrastructure developments.

1Trillion $ investment not loan for poor countries ... That helps poor countries not destroy others.....
lol no, it is a debt... china will take away the land if the country fail to pay back the loans.
Don't know why this video feels like anti-china propaganda rather than information focused video .. #Disapointed
good news from china are all propaganda, bad news are all truth ,u r right , smart guy!
I came here expecting a poorly researched video, i was not disappointed.
ザ・リバタリアン is he a cockroach too?
ザ・リバタリアン Could you argue for why you think this is the case?
He doesn't agree with TDC's opinion, therefore the video is poorly researched. That's how these undemocratic countries work.
I don't know if i can go through the entire video. Generally speaking, lots of bias, lots of inaccurate assumptions, lots of inaccurate implied prepositions and indirect conclusions, lack of proper / deep understanding of the situation, and lack of understanding in general of economics and foreign affairs.
At 1:00 He is implying China is bad for giving loans to dictators. In fact, if you did your research more deeply, you would know that, China is not just giving loans, China is engaging in free trade with these countries. China has done more to help poor people and poor countries lift themselves out of poverty for 30 years than the US has done in 100 years. The only way you can help a poor country get rich is not by imposing tariffs and sanctions on them, and isolating them until they become democracy, and then giving them aid which goes only to benefit their dictatorship. The only way to help them is by opening up your market for them to trade with you, by engaging in free trade.
First comes the middle class, then comes civil rights and democracy. UK did not become rich after it became democratic, it became rich first, and then it became democratic. America did not became democratic before it became rich. South Korea was one of the poorest nations on Earth with very little human rights, it first became rich through a dictatorship regime, and only after that, people started demanding more rights.
When you're hungry, democracy is the last thing on your mind. The only way to help poor people lift themselves out of poverty is by trading with them.
China has done so much for Africa i can't even describe it. Massive ports, highways, trade roads, infrastructure all connecting these countries to the rest of the world and making it possible for them to trade. China has completely opened up their market for them and told them - come sell whatever you have. China has the largest African population in Asia, close to a million Africans. Students, business people, workers. Selling in China or buying in China and selling back to Africa. China is giving massive amount of visas to Africans, including student visas and encouraging them to come to China to study. They are also building schools and universities in Africa. China is the best thing that could've happen to Africa and the Middle East.
He is saying the Silk Road is favoring the elite because they are lacking clean water and schools. First of all, they are building schools, and second of all, how can you have clean water and basic stuff when you don't even have roads? Have no infrastructure to connect cities and people, no pipelines, no nothing. Infrastructure comes first, trade come first, then come everything else. Nothing benefits poor people more than free and open trade without conditions, nothing benefit the elite more than regulated trade with conditions.
He made lots of inaccurate statements and conclusions about the Chinese economy. China's economy is million times better at the moment than America. The debt he is talking about is not external, and only one sector is being inflated, not the entire economy.
He is saying the Silk Road is a scheme in order for China to buy time to prop up their economy. The Silk Road is something like a giant version of the Marshall Plan, the US had an enormous surplus after the ww2, and needed foreign markets to keep investing all that money, so they invested in Europe (western bloc cold war), China is doing the same only on a massive scale. They need more foreign markets to export and invest in, they have massive surplus and need to invest that money somewhere. That is a good thing for the foreign markets, not a bad thing.
By investing in Africa, building massive ports and trade roads, the people in Africa get richer, the plan is to open and develop as many foreign markets as they can. The next manufacturing hub will probably be Ethiopia.
There is a lot i can tell about the Chinese economy, and what they are trying to do, ultimately it is a good thing for everyone, these countries are isolated from the maritime trade roads and cannot compete, cannot trade, cannot export, or import, by building massive ports, infrastructure, roads and trade roads, China is connecting these countries with the world.
China is currently trying to privatize their state owned companies in order to switch to a domestic / consumption driven economy, and not rely on exports, as they do that switch, the low cost manufacturing will be moving outside the country.
He could make the same video about the US 70 years ago, and it would've been more accurate, when it comes to China, they have different culture, they are not interfering with others, nor seek world dominance.
He also interviews people with skin in the game, with institutions related to the Pentagon and State Department, rather than interviewing independent experts with more in-depth knowledge.
yes apoorly made video...OBOR is chinas biggest mistake. All poor countries excluding turky and russia are going to go bankrupt and have to rely on third grade,cheap,made in china products and china is going to pay the price for that. While India, japan,usa, n rest of the 100+ countries that did not join chinese will not suffer any losses.
Such a biased opinion
Interesting video but clearly not neutral coverage.. thus skewed information worthy of nothing
Biased AF.. I clicked this video to legitimately know more about the OBOR.. But instead i get BS conspiracies.. Sad.

Too much salt in this video
6 word comment got you so triggered AHAHA. You couldn't even reasonably reply with class, you jumped straight to a condescending approach. Way to go in displaying a fragile ego👌
Keep up the good work! These grand-view videos about international politics are enthralling. It's hard to get this type of perspective, especially considering each country views and reports the same news differently.
Don't let the trolls change the work you're doing - your core audience is still happy :D
I'm not sure why daily got so triggered by a small comment, lol these libs call anyone alt right if they don't have the same view point I guess
In this post at least TDC has made it clear they are a political commentary channel which is fine. I wish they would add that to their description page or maybe even add it to the video title. Don't clickbait us with something that sounds interesting and then push your agenda.
Narrowed it down perfectly.
Clicked for a in-depth video regarding Megaprojects; not some irrelevant spiel on how much he disregards a certain bureaucrat (I could care less of his opinion). However, these emotional spurred jibes are becoming tiresome and only serve to dilute the content as opposed to being some perceived act of bravado on his part; to a subject mired with much dissension and disagreement.
He needs to remain impartial and stop digressing with his political interjections. Only then, will his content serve to be educational and informative.
For me it's a lot more better than spending it on war.
I am a Chinese.I would like to tell you that this idea from China,but this project belong to all countrys who join together. It is a corporation，Every country is its master.
As an African i totally agree with you, Africa has a lot to win in this Mega project and i want to learn more about the impact this will has on african Economy
I'm not biased or hating towards any country. But here we go:
CHINA ON WORLD FORUM: how can we build railway, bridges, ports and increase trade between countries?
USA ON WORLD FORUM: this country dare to possess weapon we don't allow, poor human rights, not supporting rebel group enough, gay and animal should have more rights

huh, interesting. i have a regular suggest for people like you.
GO and SEE in person. you can never know china by watching western news.
If you just want to smear china, then plz ignore me.
UR BIASED ALL OF THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT FROM AMERICAN PEOPLE ASK THEM AND GO TO AMERICA KID UR RACIST
I'm from a place where both Europeans and Americans had a chance and they just made things worse. China came on and made huge changes I couldn't believe. This video is just out to mess up the image of these projects. At least what you see is what you get. I really question the agenda of this video.
Charles Onyango where are you from？
The daily conversation you didn't mentioned sea route from Gawadar, Pakistan to Europe as a short cut. They are making highways and railroads from Khungrab, Xinjiang to Gawadar Pakistan. Which much shorter the connection from China to Middle East Europe and Africa for shipping. That's why China is investing 46 billion $$ to their friend Pakistan.
Most biased and idiotic video i have seen for a while, stop pushing your political agenda in a video about Chinese infrastructure projects dosnt add anything to the video at all.
Good video ruined by opinionated political jabs again. You lose all credibility when you do this.
Matthew Zank Western media slave. America is a failed world dictator
This applies regardless of who/whom he supports/hates. If I wanted personally political commentary, I would watch a channel that offered that. This is not that channel, but unfortunately it seems it will become.
This guy has, and always has IMO, had journalistic/reporter take on his content, and I wish it would strive for objectivity.
As n African. I support this move.
Exactly, Matthew! Analysis that forces people to confront uncomfortable truths must be "biased" & "fake." It's far easier to identify when an argument is being made than to actually engage it.
Just to make the point, there are plenty of news outlets that present all this information...What I try to do - and have always done - is analyze and contextualize things for people through my POV, which has absorbed many stories and other points of view. Unfortunately, most people haven't been exposed to the type of intellectual environment where ideas are freely expressed before, and don't know how to react to it when they first experience it.
I believe this explains the backlash to Obama and the small, but hardcore number of Americans that support Trump. It's this sense of discomfort/insecurity when confronted with an intellectual argument.
That's my take at least...
"...through my POV..."?

Danko Kovačević, wrote such a good response below, i dont need to repeat his words !! he is spot on. I am a foreigner living in China and if you really open your eyes and see what they are doing for the country, and now for the worlds neglected economies, you will agree that this video is BS !! Go China, the only one to put their money where it benefits the people involved the most !!
Its a good project and all the countries participate in it will benefit from it. Now if we only could reduce military spending in U.S and rebuild the infrastructure instead.
So biased that I just couldn't even finish
WORTH BARFING ..FOR THE ONES WHO ARE INFORMED !!!PROPAGANDA ,DISGUSTING ,PROPAGANDA !!!!SHAME ..
Same here
If anything, China is a very fascinating place.
看了下评论，看来世界人民群众的眼睛也是雪亮的。
y randy 哈哈哈哈，世界好像没那么受西方忽悠了
同感同感，中国做什么事都无不往其坏处想，我们也很无辜呀～
yes chine debt is high and USA dont have any debt. 😂😂
The US builds walls, China builds bridges.
TDC: "China BAAAAD, RUSSIA BAAAAD, TRUMP BAAAD." I just saved you 11 minutes of your life. You are welcome.
Hedgehog Fox lmao. and obama good, leader of the 'free'(bombing) world.
new word in the dictionary = freebomb
You forgot "Assad's blood soaked Syria"
I got some positive points out of it, ie they are reducing reliance on maritime routes, emulating the Marshall plan, improving infrastructure in less developed countries.
why do i feel this video was a bit biased... hmmm
So sad, so much propaganda, so much misinformation and so much biases
only a great leader with great vision and courage
will come up a project like that
The grape is so sour here
Concerned Hermit 😂😸😆😅😂😅😆😖😖
Go to Xinjiang have a try
The US is investing TRILLIONS of $ in "invisible" planes and wars, and when China tries to do good and build infrastructure for few hundred BILLIONS that won't be used just for China transportation of goods, but employ people, connect people and develop countries. Good infrastructure is the basic of any economic growth, and when people are getting good salaries they are not thinking about nationalism , radicalism and war...
If only the US invested money spent on Afghanistan, Iraq and Libyan war in developing Muslim countries they would have better response than today, when almost whole world hates American hegemony directed by Zionist AIPAC that wants continuous war in the Middle East!
And China is thinking ahead, not waiting to collapse, but open new markets, and this guy is talking about bubbles and debt, when the US owes 20 TRILLION $, 1/3 of the whole world debt and is on the brink of economic collapse is just pathetic...
Danko Kovačević lol every one on every side is worried about the wrong things
How about Muslin area in European city and slum in U.S.A. Are you have the courage to walk in the city centre of Western countries in the midnight?
Did somebody pay you to pour so much sour in this piece? Who is funding your work?
they lost me with a "clinging to power dictator Putin"... who is the most popular president among average Russians in recent recorded history, including it's Soviet era...
China is beautiful people....love them ..from Pk ❤️💕👌
I'd take China's core motivation rather than America's core motivation for waging war with impunity!
Please do not forget America's: Racism, Bigotry & White Supremacy..
mike7880 you are a fuckwit.
What do you think China would be doing if there was no US Navy to suppress hostile military action? Do you think China would ask Taiwan nicely to come back into the fold? Do you think they'd give Japan a gift basket in order for them to give up their claim on the Senkaku Islands? Do you think they'd just let India have all the lands they claim? Don't be naive, thinking that the US is the only country in history to use war to further their interests.
+Midironica1 Japan and Taiwan are satellite countries belong to the ancient China civilization. Life is not about search and destroy, that's European mind. You guys need to be grateful that China is still kicking, without China on Earth, European would destroy every non-European country in the world. Just imagine the Earth without East Asian countries (China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan) and do your similation
Maybe Taiwan but Japan never "belonged" to China. And your "only Europeans are violent" idea makes it pretty clear that you're operating on a lifetime of Chinese propaganda. China wasn't exactly "kicking" during the late 19th and earlth 20th Centuries, and I don't really recall the entire world being destroyed...
And it's pretty hilarious that you mention Mongolia as some kind of force for good in the world when the Mongols under Temujin and later Khans went on to kill a larger percentage of the global population than any other group in history...
Western thoughts " ew, this guy is so poor, we should 'take' what he has now and then find some rich people to do business with"
Chinese thoughts " oh, this guy is so poor, we should make him rich and then do business with him"
🙂
ur biased
I don't see it that way, in my eyes what China does might possibly be not much better than what the US does, they just hide the negative side better.
First, China is giving out loans to these poor countries to create this infrastructure. These loans will eventually have to be payed back, so China already gets its money back eventually. Secondly chinese companies will be the major partners in these infrastructure networks, the taxes on the profits will probably be payed in China, so China is already making gains. Thirdly if these poor countries don't need the infrastructure, it's unlikely that it will make them richer/make their economy grow due to these works. Basically this infrastructure is mostly to connect China to the west and the poor countries are just along the way.
Pro's for China:
1. Loans should eventually be payed back
2. Chinese companies make more profit and grow => chinese economy grows
3. China gets (better) land connections to other countries (especially the west/europe)
4. Increasing its influence
Con's for China:
1. Risking that the loans will not be payed back
Pro's for the poor host country:
1. Chance that this infrastructure will boost their economy
Con's:
1. They have to pay for this infrastructure
2. The investment money leaves the country (instead of investing in it's own local companies)
3. Chance that the infrastructure works will not boost their economy (for it not being necessary) and the investment is just a waste
4. Chance that people might get dissatisfied that the money isn't being invested in other more essential things (education, health care, jobs, ...)
Ofcourse it's something different if China is investing/giving the money and is never going to need it back. But this is not the case so far I know.
They don't want to help everybody in the country :p Just the rich people.
You are just as biased as the person who made this video. The projects that China is doing in my country are really benefiting us.
America invade more countries in the past 50 years than China did in the past 5000 years. So yes, they're better than us. Objectively speaking.
An interesting video that demonstrates a typical western way of decription. They can always hide their bias behind with full mouth of seemed to be objective analysis, but, if you look carefully, you will see how their bottoms control their way of thinking.
In ancient times, we say the officers "官", which vividly shows that they have two mouth. TWO MOUTH!!! They can always depict the events with a seemingly objective and lawful way, but leading to the entirely different results:
it's just where their bottom is sitted.
Be ware of the propaganda. Think twice if someone tells you they have the truth!
TRUUUUUU!TRUUUUU!
Love China from Afghanistan
OMG! So much salt in this video. Even a hypotensive patient will die of hypertension
Gamer 2 lol are you a nurse
exactly... He couldn't help it but to interject his own far left opinion and not just tell it how it is....
" The widely admired Barack Obama was leading the free world "
" In a world where the president of the United States is a bumbling fool (speaking of President Trump )"
" Brexit's improbable win"
" the unlikely win of Donald Trump."
so much for being objective and unbiased
Can't tell if that's sarcasm or not
You caught that too ! some one is worried
>Implying you can trust any bureaucrat.
Jonathan Herz same
Exactly.. Stupid partisan propoganda. Shame, content of the video is interesting
7:31 just look at their faces and you will realise who's the bad guy .
Started watching and it seemed good, but after 4:20 you are just all wrong
"never done before", china has done stuff like this last 40 years
"Basic services these countries need more", there is no way to get a functional and working country without having infrastructure and being able to trade
This is just embarresing, and ruin the rest of a good video
Exactly.
Really, the choices of words here is phenomenon. I'm so impressed by how one can express negativity simply by a few carefully chosen words. Luckily, truth will prevail, at least I hope so.
******Key point of this video: One Belt One Road program is good. But my boss hates China. So everything they did is bad.
lol
Just look at India and China. China is doing 100 times better than India. Also, China's fast and vast growth engine helped to propel developing countries around the world.
Let asians not have rivalry with one another, but complement in trade and developments. It was the white westerners who in the previous centuries invade n ruled Asia with the agenda of weakening it, then plunder its resources. How much did the british do for India. Many far out areas are without clean drinking water, and infrastructures are few and far between. And the westerners sold Opium to China to weaken its people. So EVIL ! KARMA, now many western cities are full of drug abusers.
You're missing a very important point to these "risky" loans. They have clauses that give them claims to the infrastructure that they financed if countries fail to pay.
For example, Sri Lanka wasn't able to pay the load for the Chinese deep sea port, So it pays the debt by allowing China to "own" the port under a century long lease.
Fair.
Диспиратис
China OBOR build railroad and infrastructure. US nation build uses gunships and jet fighters.
i don't really know about economy but, when you say funding infrastructure that enhance commerce and trade will only benefit the wealthy, i'm confused. doesn't investing in commerce and trade improve the life quality of the people since it offer job which help reduce the gap of income disparity? with so much more middle income family will improve the economy since they provide new market for businesses. yes it will favor the wealthy and business elites class, but investing in basic structure are just short term solution since it offer little improvement to the economy?
P/S: sorry for my bad english (not a good student in class)
China already talking infrastructure projects with next Mexican president too :)
HOW DO I NOT SEE THESE DAILY CONVERSATION AGAIN
Dude, cut it out with all your personal opinions of what China SHOULD do, and just give us the facts. What is it that upsets you so much? There is so much envy in your voice. Grow up.
biased
I find the term 'silk road' romantic because it reminds me of the good old website on torbrowser
Hey great video but where did you get that source for Chinese debt in relation to it's GDP - I looked it up and it said that the actual number was about 50% of GDP. Are you counting debt of state owned companies aswell?
"Failure is the way to success"
Thomas Edison could tell you about thousands of ways to NOT build a light bulb.
So much bias in this video
The Daily Conversation, good job. Together we are strong :) :)
US is holy God for this channel who invade country after another. But Russia and Turkey after 1990s have not invade any country.
Please look back the last decade. What US bing to the world? And What China bing to the world? Look what they did, not what they say.
Jackie Lee USA - /China +
China doesn't have two coastlines like US but instead has way more people to feed. They don't have a choice.
But I don't think it is a bad thing at all. Sometimes great power comes with great responsibility.
They sure can build. Its evolution in action. The Chinese are taking over with their skill and brains. It is a little scary though, to see them taking root everywhere. Make no mistake, this is empire building. Pax China. There was Pax Roma, Pax Americana, then Pax China. But Pax nevertheless, commerce under an empire. That usually a good thing. And boy are they open for business.
lol since when is 16.1% of GDP considered high debt? -.-
Maybe, if we successfully developpe the fusion nuclear power, the road based transport like trains may become as cheap as ships. It's wise to start developing the OBOR now for a preparation for the future, which helps economic development in the inland countries.
Favor wealthy elite business class huh... isnt that America???
People are the same all over, aren't they?
Why not both?
isnt this everywhere?
its almost every country dude...
Free market capitalism has helped bring more ppl out of poverty by far than anything else. We must work within the natural framework. Trade and economics does more than charity.
Please stop the political overtones.
great video, explained almost every aspect of obor but been more critical about the chinese
Having better economics will help all the basic needs.
4:10
Providing infrastructure for commerce and trade _leads to_ infrastructure for water and health! Teach a man to fish FFS! The west needs to abandon its ridiculously short sighted strategy of perpetually propping up impoverished countries without investing in their *economy* so they can feed them selves.
There isn't a finite amount of money going around in the world. It is made by labor and production and we can help these countries realize comparable prosperity to our own.
Moreover, to criticize China for investing in countries that can't _currently_ pay them back is ridiculous! Investing in African rail will grow GDP and allow them to pay back the debt! It's exactly what our governments do when they build our infrastructure and it is absolutely effective!
I SEE MASSIVE JEALOUSY AND ENVYNESS FROM THE COMMENTOR . Wan Sifu .
People need to solve the problem of food and clothing. They prefer infrastructure compared to ammunition.
The one belt and one road is the greatest route for two way trade.For one thousand years,the silk road was the main trading route between Europe and China.The maritime route was the main trading route from South Asia to China.
It's unfortunate that an excellent production is ruined by clueless speculation (China's hidden motives-as if the narrator would know!) and just plain wrong economics (China's debt burden is tiny compared to the USA's, and microscopic compared to Japan's.
Thailand Retirement USA owes China's national debt.
Exactly... it's debt is similar to Japan's and USA's and it's the reason why it's grown so much economically. Debt is "good". But having said that, it's debt is tiny compared to both Japan and USA not on nominal terms but when considering the potential of the country that is still untapped and the size of its population. If Chinese productivity per capita were to even come close to that of Japan's and USA's, it would be an economy bigger than half the developed world combined. That would likely happen within the 21st century if it is able to keep away from military conflicts. This is why so many good minds are so bullish about China. Whether or not it can avoid war and false flag baits set by certain groups is another question. We see Russia was dismantled pretty convincingly, PRC could be too.
If the Chinese economy grows at 7% average over the next 30 years it will have a GDP of $64,000 and if the US economy were to only grow at 2% it would have a GDP per capita of about $103,000 in 30 years time.
For China to catch up in 30 years time it would need to have GDP growth of about about near to 9%.
And the US would need to stay at 2% growth for the next 30 years for China to catch up. That 64000 that china will have at 7% growth will be about $22000 in today's money.
My calculations are all basic and rough and not some exact model using calculus to measure and display growth cycles.
bighands69
bighands69 it's more like inflation, real growth is through technical advance and efficiency improvement. With out all growth is fake. Think about it, If the world's gdp grow 1%/year since the birth of Jesus, now the gdp should be 440million times greater. But is it?
This video create so much beef that now my whole refrigerator is full of beef. Western Media giving me more cows.
India! Our Modi at 7:10 😎
modi is destroying our economy
It sad to hear these negative sentiments generated by jealousy.
Unsubscribed, This is hot garbage. You could at least try and present to present a unbiased opinion on the topic.
Why don't you report on the actual investment projects and infrastructure plans so that you can inform instead of instruct your audience. We all know the US is terrified by OBOR and how it will decrease dependence on the west and increase mutual benefit in Eurasia and Africa. OBOR is a threat to US uni-polar world hegemony, and may in time also threaten the USD as the reserve currency. There has been a growing anti-China sentiment from the major western news sources for some time due to this, do you really think it's wise to follow along with this propaganda?
Very well said. You hit the nail on the head !
HAHHAHA u hit the nail exactly
Marqaani o
lol americans scared they won't be the center of the world anymore
You are talking about clean water,affordable housing,education etc... Those are very important. But you dont have a clue how the economy works. If you see a homeless guy and you want to help him, would you rather give him $1000 or give him a job?
Building infrastructure is the most important key to a local economy . That's why the ports and the inland cities with better infrastructure always have better economy.
As a Chinese and business person lives in the States ,I have seen more things than most of Chinese and American. I can tell you China is simply helping others countries especially African countries and of course ourselves . We were a poor country like most of African countries long time ago, but they supported our country while most of the developed countries were against us, we will never forget the friendship African countries offer.
We Chinese have learned to love instead of hate, learn to give instead of take , we have embraced all good and bad to make the world a better place .
Which software is used at 02:33🤔?
So the "Belt" part of OBOR is basically a copy of the Silk Road, while the "Road" part of OBOR is basically a copy of the Monsoon Marketplace?
Dogs may bark but the caravan moves on.
We can do without the personal rants on this video.
CAN WE GET AN UPDATE FOR THESEE?!?!??!?!?!
Good video, well done. Very interesting.
