3:44 100 million vs 155 billion? Is that even comparable?
Lul
Let’s talk about USA debt to GDP first
usa debt to gdp 1 to 1 china 3 to 1
Have you seen Chinese Debt?
It's low in comparison to alot of the world, still too high though
Compared to China’s 300% private debt? It’s bad in the US but not a central talking point.
@@johnmiller9681If you are only counting public debt, which is money borrowed by the government, US have a debt to gdp ratio of 125%, while the Chinese number is 47.6%.
Why does media keeps telling its China vs USA and forgetting the interest of actual countries.
Because it is WSJ .
Sorry, China and the United States are not actual countries?
As long as China asserts itself in Global Domination. No good will happen
Joshua Castillo well Trup push Mexico to the hands of China and other Countries
I think u missed the importance of this video and how real China is a threat right now
Peace and development is a security threat to the United States
@Nuidog11 is it because Chinese government perform better than US government?
They had the same kind of peace in the USSR that China conveys.
No. Communist domination is a threat to the world. Communism killed millions of people in WW2 and afterwards. Mao (the first Communist leader of China) literally killed innocent Chinese farmers because of his hatred for capitalism.
China plans to dominate Africa in some ways the Europeans did to our ancestors. First they act like they're looking for good relations. Then when they know they have you tightly in their grasp, they make unexpected demands that come out ad troubling.

Indian followed their white master since aryan invaded.
They have been the British lieutenants, doing their White man's dirty work in subjugation of other Asian nations since colonial times. It is hard for them to change overnight from flattery and sycophantic behaviour and find new moral purposes in life.

@@indianball7869 The Indo-European are divided into 5 categories
Germanic (most of western european countries),
Hellenic (southern european countries),
Aryan (India-Persian),
Slavic (Eastern european and Russian) etc.
The whole migration theory followed in the europe is just 1 out of 5 proposed models, there is also an OIT (out of india theory) as well because sanskrit is the oldest language in that family & there's also an Armenian migration theory as well. These europeans are just aryan wannabes. But hardly any of that matters because whole human race migrated from Africa.

*Pakistan has lost 125 Billions $ in economy because of US war on so called terror. Afghanistan has become more poor country then before and is in war from 80s because of US, Iran currency had fallen dramatically because of US. whole world has become worst place to live because of US oil prices and other Goods prices are rising day-day in whole world because of US trade wars. Even in US Ally France worst protest had taken place because of continuous rise in oil prices.*
*Throughout, American History on 1 country was benefited by US and that's Israel, when Israel gain independence they were poor but with US 100 of billions $ investment they had become a developed country today.*

I see, and where were the fine upstanding leaders of those Middle Eastern countries?
If China's one belt one road is so called by the west as China colonialism, bring it on!
So much infrastructure improvements done fast and with favourable loans with it.
Some nice reporting of the situation and potential solution from WSJ.
It’s evident the US just wants to stay as the sole big superpower that commands respect from everyone. While some of its qualities are respectable, ie. technology, its soft power, etc. trying to contain China’s rise because it doesn’t want to be knocked off the pinnacle are not one of those qualities I admire. Countries should band together to help each other, not trying to outmaneuver each other.
America wants to build infrastructure in other nations to serve a existing purpose, but better. Short cuts over land and sea and air. If it saves time it saves money...💰💵📮💷💶
From China love Africa. You guys deserve a better life!
Look at all the russian and chinese bots.
The Chinese theatre in Beijing even did a Broadway musical on what they think of Africa and what's to become of its people..does not seem positive
You don’t know the truth of the matter and discredit China.
West an " Empire of Shameless Lies "
what difference do you expect to get with some pocket changes....
Let's be realistic. How is the U.S. and Japan going to fund their financial aid to other countries? Japan's national debt to GDP ratio is way higher than the U.S. And the U.S. is looking at a debt of 1 trillion dollars too, with the recent tax cuts and increased defense spending.
May I ask why its a problem that another country is developing and progressing? Why does the USA have to twist everything into a threat?
We should focus on China thread rather than Russia thread.
As though the businessmen in the US didnt think of this decades ago.... this is complete foolishness. Chinese enterprise was invested in long ago, and there will be many that will reap profit. This is just the way it works. You didnt think to put money into China? Too bad.......But people risked their savings for endeavors in Chinese enterprise. Too late, it doesnt matter now.
We should focus on our own infrastructure first. The u.s has a d+ infrastructure rating. Why should we build up other countries. When our own country is falling apart.
while america was too busy messing with middle east and pakistan, china went ahead
*India itself has largest number of poor people in the whole world and In India more than 600 Million people are Toiletless. How will India help US?*

I guess you're probably from Pakistan and If I am right then you can't build your country's infrastructure. If you think you are better then why do you need China's help to develop your country why don't you do this on your own.
if you can not pay back the loan one had offered, you give something else as collatteral, that's called fair trade.
O em gee... DJT is not the person who could have a prayer of addressing this. He’s talking about Finnish people raking up forest floors while China is asserting global hegemony. It was a good run USA. A great run. smh.

That’s the most cost efficient answer
The US did the same thing after WW2. The "reconstruction" meant "we will build whatever we need for our ownbinterest in your country" and it made them dependent of the US and the dollar.
When my ancestors came to Africa as part of the French colonial Empire, they did a lot of good.
My Great uncle was an engineer in the french army and built several roads, bridges, railroads, ports for sub-saharan africa. He also participated in the massive construction of schools everywhere in Africa. Others in the family worked in building "dispensaires" which basically were small pharmacy and vaccinated kids. France spent the equivalent of 5 times the Marshall Plan in 100 years for Africa.
China is ripping off Africa and for some weird fucked up reasons, Africans let them rip them off and we, the europeans, are accused of all the misery of the world.
Short answer is... it is not
Miss Earth is not flat. The USA and China has the huge Pacific Ocean between them.
$340 Billion to help build infrastructure. America should learn from that.
8 trillion in Afghanistan and Iraq.

America should first invest in her own infrastructure first
I went to China in 1983 the Chinese were all riding bicycles they were fishermen and raise farmers. Since then the west has built them up they are aware of they are today because of the west. Do you see any gratefulness or appreciation for the West building them up you’ll never see that Asian. They just take take take no appreciation no gratefulness. If the west have not built them update still be fisherman and rice farmers and riding bicycles
Lol clear propaganda Pakistan is asking imf because of it's falling exports and its debt to gdp ratio has remain 60% of gdp even after Chinese investments.
they ran over their own students with tanks...what could they do to other countries once they gain more power
Whenever foreigners come to Africa "with goodies", it never ends well for us.
1. The Arabs and the slave trade
2. The Europeans and the trans - atlantic slave trade
3. The Europeans and colonialism
and now the Chinese with their infranstructure on loans.
We really need to learn from history
America is welcome to match our offers.
Trade unions in these countries should incite their workers in these Chinese facilities to put down tools and demand for higher wages. This will cause hardship to the Chinese owners and coerce them to give Up their claims to them. And leave.
We Chinese are definitely not doing charity in Africa. By investing tons of money to build infrastructures which can boost the local economy and benefit both Africans and Chinese companies, we can make a mutual success. We do this for making money for both sides, together, with the local. The west has been given centuries to do something good to Africa but they just kept African living in extreme poverty. That's being said, it's still up to Africans to make their own decision.
You people should be happy for this neo colonisation war. All it does is improve economy on both side because of competition.
Don’t really want to join all the negativity here...but China isn’t going to do anything out of charity. They’re already known for ruthlessly cutting out foreign business any way possible. Infrastructure is nice, but here in the USA there is endless reminders that the taxes brought by business rarely make up for the costs of maintaining massive amounts of infrastructure. The world economy is just an endless debt factory.
Why is it always this way can’t they work together instead they always trie to be better and not working with them
How about Venezuela China gave billions and now they have no food and 3 million people left Venezuela.

Lol 60 billion for trade and infrastructure project? But 800 billion for your military? Lol we see your priorities America. I’m sure you’re gonna be using your military more than diplomacy or trade relations like China
Will America help Africa and poorer country build infrastructure, ports, airport, hospital. If not there's nothing to say.
What can you expect from the Wall Street Trash-aganda outlet.
And America is so concerned about China building infrastructure for these poor developing countries? May be you should help them too instead of spending so much on your military bases (800) around the world !
This is natural, in past East Asia was first (500-1500) then Europe was first (1500-1900) then America was first (1900-now) now East Asia will be first again.
As a chinese i really want african and indian to be rich.So that there will be a big market.And they will have enough money to do business with us
Why do u assume it's always someone else's responsibility to *upgrade*African countries?? There's potential for progress within, you have watched Black Panther, right? When you see any profit you want to take credit and when you see terrible antisocial effects it's someone else even when it's African on African using whatevers at hand whether built by Asian,European or African doesn't matter
USA is blowing it... Africa is ground zero.
Me being an Africa America understands this before this report even came out.
The USA have to build a relationship between Africa America and Africa.
Africa is ground zero!
Will that's for being a fool and call U.S don't Tell them what to do and look where they get them self into
this is a good piece, I just commented on "Why China Is so Good at Building Railways" th-cam.com/video/0JDoll8OEFE/w-d-xo.html and references your video on why China is investing in high-speed railways into western China. Once China establishes the Silk road with 21-century transport options, they will return to the power base they had 600 years ago. I'm betting they will be the number one world power 20 years from now. It's most likely why Xi removed the 10-year limit to his position as it will allow China to reach this goal.
Video is too short, it's to early to judge how well things are going. Depending on how much money would be brought in because of the new infrastructure, it might be worth it to have some debt
There are other countries that have already fallen to the debt traps and military bases were built on the so-called infrastructure the Chinese built, like a navy base from a deep-water port, or an airbase from an international airport. It is not too early to judge. It is obvious what the Chinese are doing, but hard to stop, because they are not above corrupting foreign politicians.
@@ArchesBro I had high hopes for the belt and road project. I thought they where trying to build better ties to increase trade

The problem the west has in investing in some of these countries is red tape, security, and political stability, which the IMF helps countries figure out how to do. How could we build a factory in say Iran, when odds are they end up sanctioned and we lose the business. A factory in somalia, where pirates could steal or harm workers. Red tape in India. Corruption in Venezuela. I dont actually know what the solution to their problems is. Some countries just seem doomed to fail unfortunately
I don’t kno if some of these commenters are real, but I like how they think China’s just altruistically lifting underdeveloped countries out of poverty, they’re going to own these countries in a Matter of years thru these loans
Bangladesh is the biggest beneficiary of OBOR. Bangladesh is hugely progressing in all direction with the chines support and help.We strongly support china.if you go to every area of Bangladesh.All say chines are hard worker and if you are lazy then you are bad to chines.but if you are honest and hard worker then you are great to chines.If Any on support with you Loan.your first duty to work hard and pay the lender and should give him a big thanks.
If you think that china is bad because he want to help you with cheap loan so that you can prosper.Then I am object your personal integrity.
Chinese are not bad. Compared to the west. By chinese help it creates lots of jobs and improves infrastructure. Most importantly chinese are well respect to the foreign religion and culture
The US would only own bases in the countries where they are at. Japan and Korea even pays half of its upkeep which is cheaper than fully funding their own defense so it works both ways. China, on the other hand WILL OWN all of the roads and infrastructure for which they are only after the benefit which eventually build their own naval bases rivaling the US knowingly that these countries under the debt trap can't pay them back as long as they keep their corrupt leaders happy with 'free' Chinese money.
Why not emulate the South Korean model for which that country worked their butts off to develop and eventually become an economic power house? South Korea and the African countries have the same GDP per capita in the 60's and now we know how that nation turned out to be.
The whole point of this video is so that Indian reporter try to make USA believe fight China and start war can be justified as not a war crime
its a classic tactic for china to handle its foreign diplomacy to make economic dependencies out of countries. in the past, the tributary system was always been like this for china's century old neighbors
Bar tabloids, are there more biased reports than this? Genuine question, just want to know how shameless the so called free press can be.
Easy. I could have covered this in quick time. US boycotts, sanctions and blackmail. You know! The art of the deal.
America! what you really care how developing countries suffer.... just keep doing "America first". China is building infrastructure in poor developing countries with ridiculously low interest loans. Pusing more trades with them. Not imposing sanctions, not threatening if can't pay back loans immediately. We admired America, and still do in may parts ... but you really lost track... becoming a nationalist state!. China is doing great progress in every part, globalization, fair trade, environment and social care... yes, it's still not perfect but it is improving at astonishing speed.
It's a double edge Sword .... Money Vs Debt
I believe China is very generous, they or the one who should invest the money the right way, on pay back their death

There is a lot of hypocrisy in the West,
1. When USA was afraid of an anthrax outbreak in 2001 they manufactured anthrax medication in violation of a patent owned by Bayer. Then when South Africa, India and other countries were worried about anti-retro-vials for HIV, the medicine was too expensive America was busy threatening them with sanctions if they produced a cheaper generic version of the drugs. Did you remember how the Americans discovered a medication for Ebola once an American citizen was infected. This was 40 days after the epidemic was discovered.
2. When Rwanda wanted to develop a domestic textile industry they banned 2nd hand clothing and now the Americans want to throw Rwanda out of AGOA. It means Rwandans will be unable to sell vegetables and fruits to American unless they agree to wear 2nd hand clothing.
3.After European banks had lent Greece billions and couldn't repay Greece has been forced to sell its assets to Germany. German companies now own 15 airports and 1 port in Greece. They still want Greece to sell its post office, the power supply company, smaller ports along the coast and various Islands. The same thing they accuse China of doing.
When you deal with a Chinese they are direct we shall give you a loan to build a railway and you will repay with 2% interest for 25 years. When you deal with the West they tell you if you want a loan to build your railway you need to open your markets to ensure our farmers in America can sell their dairy and other products, we also want you allow our airline land in your airports. When dealing with the West they tell you that if you don't hold elections we will not give you money for a water project as if water and election are somehow co-related.
It’s to encourage democratic reform for our aid....

It really does not matter who wins between the two as long as the developing countries get to offer their citizens a better standard of living.
That's what our African ancestors thought. We all saw how that went.
No, it matters who wins. This might seem very nice at first, but it's actually really alarming. China wants to influence everyone so in times when China is in deep trouble and put on the court, everyone will vote that China not be prosecuted.
Tell that to the people in Hong Kong. British lease expired and now the people have no freedom.
I wish you had a brain
China is threat
The US is the one with the head start from the Bretton Woods system and the Marshall plan. America doesn't really have an interest investing in the infrastructure developing countries since their industrial base is not as heavily reliant on raw materials compared with China, which this piece seems to leave out.
