China by far one of the richest and most populated countries on earth holds 20% of African debt and they're making major infrastructure investments that never existed in Africa before. Let's ask ourselves who holds the other 80% debt and what did Africa receive in exchange?
EXACTLY.
What do you think about US?
Wow! I never saw this coming
seating down and playing game and criticism other people nothing to do than play baseball
And 80% is the West / US & EU.
because of China i have a company and create jobs for my African brothers. By then the Whites only have NGO and gives out food aid. We don't need food aid. We need jobs. People back home now have jobs and although not as highly paid, at least we have better than the previous scraps. Now we have hospitals, roads, power that doesn't just go off, clean treated water not well water, better healthcare, the use of technology in school, China gave me project so I can build infra like schools. That is so much I have contributed. What did you do Trevor for Africa?
th-cam.com/video/I0DJlSqlmEw/w-d-xo.html
He fled his own country for his personal advantage & then criticises.
His fellow African citizens who stayed in the country to develop it despite tough times are the legitimate voices of Africa.
Trevor what have you done for Africa?
Oh Trevor is working hard to get his green card. He don’t care about his African brothers and sisters. Go away~
Even though you're a black African. But your heart is exactly the same as the western colonists
nice
Of course, he works for a main stream media, that's expected.
Look out his next coming shows bet ya he gonna dye his hair blonde.... what a turncoat son of a gun.
Agree with you 100%.
You are right
Look, Trevor, once the colonial system ended in Africa the neocolonial system started. Besides, China did not invade any country, unlike the United States.
Infiltration instead of invasion.
@@ricoshea6101 lol. You are going to blame China anyway. Twist it any way you like.
Any powerful country just give something for free seems suspicious. Cuz in this world nothing is free without something to pay back.
Exactly!
@@ricoshea6101, @Robert O'Shea , Look at history - When Zheng He brought his largest Naval fleet in mankind history to explore the unknown world. He completed 7 expeditions in 7 voyages from 1405 to 1433, he visited many countries along South China Sea, Brunei, Java, Thailand, sailed thru Strait of Malacca to Sri Lanka, India and East Coast of Africa.
Did any Natives Indigenous people get killed? Was there any land got stolen by the Chinese Naval fleet during 1405 - 1433 expeditions ?
What happened after *Christopher Columbus* arrived at America and met The Red Indians?
*Who is the biggest Evil, biggest murderer - Christopher Columbus or Zheng He?*
It is so obvious that Anglo-Saxon killed millions of Natives Indigenous people they met and stole the entire continent of North America and South Pacific from Natives during their imperial expansion. US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are stolen lands where is the legitimacy of such countries?
And who exploited the world and control all resources? Who took the land of Palestinian and form a Jewish state to create conflicts in Middle East? To benefit Western oil companies and arms dealers?
Why hasn't US spread democracy to Saudi Arabia? Of course NOT. What if a populist Saudi guy gets elected and kicks out US military base and starts selling oil in Chinese RMB? That would be the end of US Petro Dollars. The end of USD is the end of US global Hegemony.
Why you don’t talk about France taking 50% of the income of many countries in west Africa and mid Africa. France killed many leaders who wanted to stop it.
We should talk about this also because still there are many African countries colonized by countries in west.
So, now its China's "turn"....unfortunately many more will die.
The USA lost 58,220 soldiers helping France keep its colony, Vietnam.
Especially South African where it’s so obvious being a half white country still.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 I'm South African and its far from being a half white country but your point of the west in Africa is still valid.
Whan your right your right..😤
If you are interested in searching how China has reduced a large number of poor people, you will find that those measures are similar to what the Chinese have done in Africa. Set up factories, build infrastructure and teach local people labor skills. Instead of simply giving them unemployment benefits and food packages.
Humanitarianism can only reduce deaths, but construction and cooperation can reduce poverty.
Wow, and they own the US and British political systems. They is impressive.
the forced economic expansion china has created in their own country, that you are praising, is a bubble that is threatening to burst and take the whole world with it. the economic expansion that is it funding in africa is another death trap that is only going to increase the poverty of the african people once the debts are due and the governments cannot pay.
And China institutes rigid control over the daily lives of whomever it can. For what would you sell your freedom? (If you even have any)
Why the protests then? If everything Cumfy Cozy Zen. If it's own blood and skin were treated so would you need guns and batons for the crowd to disperse? Are the tanks tagging along for a humanitarian cause? Like ample organs for medical store rooms? Ideas are not all the country mastered in transplanting and new developing industries yield high profit for little expense. The fact i know Chinese from 14/15 visa here with cali drvrs license and determination to move here. Will not utter begative word of china. Move family here but China is wonderful country. Have to admit crazy tempermental only children spoiling their own children to Brats seemed the norm there. Guess one child law could do that. Was corrected, for$250k the gov will allow another. A sibling.

Well, Trevor, when the first U.S. companies are setting up its branch in China in the early 80s and 90s, the salary gap between the U.S. expatriate and the local employees was very often even bigger than 10x, do you also call that unfair? The key difference in the level of compensation between expatriate and the locals is attributed to the different living cost in home and foreign countries - as in expatriates are short-termed oversees workers usually with a family in the home country to feed. This is a basic principal and common practice in the domain of any corporate human resources - please don't make a sensational exaggeration of it and make it look like an exploitation of the local workers - this is very misleading and unfair.
He probably have biases against China
Exactly
He is a comedian guys
@@johna.5814 we all are... bashing our heads against each other, to make presidents happy
if africa already has all types of workers to fit all positions, they probably won't need to wait for chinese investment. The chinese investment not only bring money but also management and technology through deployed chinese managers and engineers. It's a really common sense in china. They went through the same process in the last 30 years and found it's helpful. Now, they are copying the exact same strategy deployed by western companies to the african continent.
I just want to say, most Chinese workers do not wish to leave motherland to go to Africa for 560dollars a month , that’s a normal wage in China. But to start a project you need some specialist to lead, these Chinese workers finally end their work abroad once work is streamlined in Africa.
US companies always pay more to their own workers, called "GLOBAL PAY"
th-cam.com/video/I0DJlSqlmEw/w-d-xo.html
It's their national service to China.
In Western multinationals, they call it hardship allowance. I know cause I had received these allowances when I was sent overseas.
If Chine owns 20% of Africa's debt, who own the 80%? the answer is the west (IMF & Worldbank) and what have they done for Africa, nothing they are the same or worst than Chine. Africa need to understand nothing is for free and they need to learn to negotiate T&C that will benefit them just like the Middle East.
I couldn't say it any better. The problem is the West is pushing a narrative of being a better devil.
Exactly
Some African countries are already renegotiating the loans, but the lenders are stubborn.
@@justabookworm1382 guess who are those stern lenders.
Is the inability to spell China some petty politcal statement I am not aware of?
I do not agree with you on this. The European countries have drained Africa resources for nothing in exchange. It is far better for them to get some infrastructures for their resources.
Trevoh is another propaganda drum for the western ideologists
True
👆! that point
*Hard to swallow pills*
China , more rapidly destroy African countries than usa 🇺🇸, bro ,😜😆Because we know well about China. From 🇮🇳
Disappointed, Trevor , you failed your identity as a black man and I bet you’ve never stepped in Africa . I’m a Chinese who works in Africa and all the projects we built you couldn’t imagine how hard it can be , between fighting the corrupted local government and unskilled workers , but we are still flighting for deliver a better life for African people! You should feel ashamed
You're not black, don't talk about him failing his black identity...
He has a right to his opinions....
@@conolade3290 ，I don't know which country you are from or which nationality you are, but if you go to Africa to see the infrastructure projects assisted by China, including some cooperation projects, China at least has no bad deception and aims. Unlike some so-called democratic countries, when Africa has no great value, it shows contempt. Even if the aid is provided, it is more aimed at deliberately creating internal chaos and confrontation in other countries.
@@conolade3290 I am not a black, but I do feel he is failing his black identity and also neutrality as a media person. The whole narrative is to please his white overlord.
@@rishsab1316 What is black identity?
So many uneducated comments on youtube.
Black peeps/Africa have been enslaved, colonised and used by everyone else for centuries now.
First enslaved by Arabs then Europeans and now people calling it the Chinese continent.
The Arabs brought Islam to Sub saharan Africa, then took slaves and resources, the Europeans brought Christianity then took slaves and resources.
And now great China is bringing infrastructure and taking resources and putting the continent in further debt.
Build infrastructure for people who don't have the technical know how to do so or maintain it isn't very helpful... What happens when those infrastructures start to depreciate?
Listen or read carefully to what I'm trying to say, sub-saharan Africans may all be black, but they speak different languages, have different ideologies, religions and culture.
If you know and understand all of this then to put all of them in the bracket of 'black identity' is ludicrous, impractical and downright silly.
Why not say Putin is failing his white identity for attacking Ukraine? Silly right? 😂
Trevor is biased because he is catering to the American media, just like someone catering to the Chinese or Russian or Saudi Arabian media would be biased too.
That is logic, everyone picks a side, Politics is savage and brutal let's not talk about right or wrong here, just ends and means.
And Trevor he has no reason to side with China on this African issue, again that's logic...
Anyone who talks of 'black identity' when it comes to Africa forgets that it's a continent and not a country.... And for your information, 2 black people don't have to agree on the same issue. Black is skin pigmentation and that's all that is.
@Conolade I won't be surprised this comedian, like many politicians, can earn himself a lucrative career in U.S. politics... simply by talking about everything with less than half the truth... because they all know that, no matter how ridiculous their "opinions" may be, people like you will all rush to the front line to protect their "rights of speech" with your own lives.🙃🙃🤬🤬
China helps other countries with Trades and Infrastructure projects.
US helps other countries with Bombs and Army ( in the name of Democracy ) .
Would you consider China or US as the major World threat ?
truth
Agree!
China also actually helps countries that commit war crimes. Since China invests even if the government does bad stuff...
Well, in someone's mind, the "world" is just US and its allies~ so to them, yes China is the biggest threat~
@Eric Kerr China is helping ethiopia in its Civil War and the ethiopian government has been committing war crimes. And other countries too. It's a known fact that China does not look at what the government does internally to invest and they are proud about that too...
Trevor, Africa needs help you should know better. As this video said, other financial institutions consider it a high risk for loaning them money for infrastructures. China is offering the chance for Africa to improve its economy when no one wants to help. I hope people would not get into the western propaganda and just help each other.
Very true.
As a citizen in China, I never enjoyed such a low interest loaning. Sacrefice on me. Woe is me.
I think African leaders know who are the ones who are ripping them off and who are the ones helping African people improve the lives. Low interest loans are termed debt traps, what do you call European countries refusing to give you any loans and let the Africans starve to death?
@@TheJokeLord you are right. As Chinese, I feel unfair about this policy. We Chinese don't have any public welfare. Why could they use our money to help other countries?
th-cam.com/video/I0DJlSqlmEw/w-d-xo.html
Trevor Noah, I've always liked your show, your jokes, your brilliant different accents, and your objective views of the issues many of which I agreed with. But please don't let your show be another propaganda like those MSM which we already have enough of them. Keep your show balanced and fair.
Too late. It has been like this for years. Exchanged backbone for money
@shankaran pillai China accounted only for about 10% of Sri Lana's foreign debt, buddy.
@@jameskptan yeah investing in a port which was never going to be profit Sri Lanka but there another use of such port for Chinese navy.
People tend to blame China for the Sri Lanka's problem. In fact if they care to do a little bit of digging, they would find that it is the IMF's stringent conditions that cause the downfall. In fact China is helping by paying over RM1 Billion to the Government to lease the Port to avoid collapsing it but as always others look at this with suspicions.
This is part of the commentary from R. Ramakumar at Channel News Asia on 16th April 2022
"Defaults over China’s infrastructure-related loans to Sri Lanka, especially the financing of the Hambantota port, are being cited as factors contributing to the crisis.
But these facts don’t add up. The construction of the Hambantota port was financed by the Chinese Exim Bank. The port was running losses, so Sri Lanka leased out the port for 99 years to the Chinese Merchant’s Group, which paid Sri Lanka US$1.12 billion.
So the Hambantota port fiasco did not lead to a balance of payments crisis (where more money or exports are going out than coming in), it actually bolstered Sri Lanka’s foreign exchange reserves by US$1.12 billion."
Will you ever address the fact that over 14 countries in Africa still pay France colonial rent? Or we will not mention that today? A country that colonized them us still asking them for maintenance fee. What has China asked?
th-cam.com/video/I0DJlSqlmEw/w-d-xo.html
@Kian Hong Chua hey buddy,why is it that mainland chinese people are incredibly racist towards black people? This is well documented btw
"There are many Chinese in our country but China has never colonised us. When the Portuguese came to Malaysia from some 12,800km away, Malaysia became a colony of Portugal. China has had relations with Malaysia for a long time but never colonised the country. Who should we be fearful of? China or Europe?" - Dr Mahathir , former PM of Malaysia
Wow. Mahathir said that.
China didn't colonize in the past because China was busy colonising its neighbours.
China has been at war with everybody since ancient times .
Now , China is trying to colonize the world using unconventional means because it doesnt have the money to wage military war.
and it is more effective to invade by just bribing individuals especially politicians.
th-cam.com/video/I0DJlSqlmEw/w-d-xo.html
It’s just a matter of time wait and see
decades and decades already passed and the colonialism did not happened. Hope you live long enough to confirm this in the next few decades.
As an African I do prefer the Chinese in Africa than the West in Africa. Like here in Kenya I have seen more development through the Chinese funds within a decade than the Western "civilization of Africa" for centuries.
At least we have the option to accept the help no matter the outcome...WE HAVE THE OPTION!!!
The west respects their citizens and their rights and was cruel to African countries. China is cruel to its own citizens... I don't see it working out long term but i wish you the best of luck.
As an African You Should Prefer NO ONE! Doing For You But *YOU!!* SMH!
No surprise there… the West only wants to help if they can impose their beliefs and culture first.
Until you can’t make payments then China comes up & snatches it back up. Never trust Chinas intentions
why accept help in the first place. build your own country with your selves. not west or china. ONLY you are the ones who can help your selves.
I think people in Africa are brave. Because they could stand the developing risk to be better. And in China's defence, why should China risk their people's money to help others? They have made it win-win, and that's brilliant. I think people who blame on China is hypocrisy because when they won't pay for the roads and other baisc things in Africa--yet China will.
西方不愿意看到非洲发展，不然怎么继续他们的新殖民，所以中国要帮非洲西方肯定抹黑啊
Well said 👍
Debt trap, the risk is on the Chinese companies. What is the collateral here, nothing, just a promise to pay back over 20,30,40 years. Any default from the underdeveloped countries, the Chinese companies will suffer, definitely not the party that got the bridges, ports, roads, airports already.
China is doing simple business, developping africa = means A LOT in term of political weight, it's a smart move, in other hands EU and USA want africa to be 100% dependent of them by only sending picture about how woke white people became after the BLM movement for their own conciousness and image when they help the kid with no water and no food :( owww
戳了他们的肺管子了
2:50 FYI, 161 countries in the world recognize Taiwan as part of China. And yes, the US also recognizes Taiwan as part of China.
Yeah, and the "official" name of the state is "Republic of China" not Taiwan. Taiwan, as well as Mainland China was/is part of Republic of China. So let the Chinese deal with their own case. But it seems the US is again stirring the boiling water.
I've been expecting Putin-type moves from China with regard to Taiwan. So, when the Chinese and the Russians get together for a "chat", I feel strongly they are planning a 2-prong attack to try to draw the US into spreading its military too thin.
They're also getting assistance from the right-sided hate groups who are in or have military knowledge.
Despite the major issues of the last 400 years, we were getting to a balance, until Donnie and his band of renown. Now, I'm wondering how to protect myself.
Everytime I leave my house, depending on my travels, I plan out escape routes. Practical, yes, but fun?
No.

There are phenomena that......
This is a propaganda video to brainwash people, to demonize China as always.
Sounds about white...
I want to point out that China hasn't always been this great power that nowadays 'the west' wants to portray. If you know a bit about Chinese history, you will know that it was invaded and colonized in the last century. China had to accept a lot of unfair trades with the developed countries then. As a Chinese person living in Europe, I have concerns for my country and my government. But I also notice how many people take for granted the fact that they grow up in an already developed country and are used to being on the moral high horse criticizing others while not being able to provide a better solution (including to the issues happening inside China) I'm not saying it's the west's responsibility to do everything because they're privileged (In fact, every country has its own domestic problems which in my opinion, is what a responsible government should focus on). I think we should try to understand other perspectives and think about how to do better on an individual level, study the subjects that confuse us rather than choose narratives from online news, and be nice to others regardless of where they come from and what race they are. I'm still working on it. It can be difficult because of how unsettling the world is becoming. But I still have hope that one day we can work together to solve problems rather than make others the 'villain' of the story.
Well said. The problem in the west especially in the USA there are too many neocons who believe in american exceptionalism. The foreign policy establishments believe that only liberal hegemony will achieve the world without conflicts, the original thesis of francis fukuyama the End of History. That explains why the USA has more than 800 military overseas bases and usa will enter into war once every 3 years.
Exactly!
There are only two countries in the world
@@user-rp4qc7yh9g The world def needs more voices and communications, that's why I'm against some cold war-like narratives. I hope my words aren't misunderstood because of my limited English.
The West has completed the original accumulation of capital by colonizing other countries, but now they want to prevent other countries from growing through normal trade.😅
What did the Europeans do for Africa beside stole everything from the continent?did the Europeans really care about human right or they also support the government that go along with them?

@@kofisam9650 Wow they built a Pyramid so what happened? As if other civilization didn't build such infrastructures before the thing is you never advanced that was your PEAK now compare it to China which is one of the oldest and is keeping up with the west
Countries around China are growing strong, richer. Like south east Asia, Japan, Korea.
What happened to the countries around USA? Brazil, Mexico, Argentina Colombia?
Brazil decided to make BRICS with China, Russia, India, and South Africa. Argentina sent their interest in joining it also. I think countries starting to have more options than serving the west.

😂😂😂
Well said Sir!
The usa could use some help with it's infrastructure as well.
exactly
Because the US rather use their money on weapons and enriching the weapon industries.
So, what did UK, France, and US do to help Africa? What are they doing now?
Peace Corp
And they criticize China for doing it !!
They looking for way to start a war nothing else hood comes from those devils.🤨
@@uTubeAshby imagine if the War Corpse and the Peace Corps swapped budgets...
the outside world cannot develop Africa. two ways of investing there: #1 IMF/WB/EU/US giving aid/loans to African governments. they spend or squander it; #2 China invests by deciding where the money goes (importing all stuff from China, materials, most qualified workers etc), build the thing and then demand payments; if you default then China expects you hand over resources, ports whatever. not sure option #2 is more appealing
Y’all acting like the countries are forced to sign the contracts
Exactly. Western hubris on full display, not believing African countries can have their own volition. Nobody is forcing anyone to sign, nobody is stopping the west from coming up with better deals. And China is very lenient with the debt terms, having restructured or outright forgiven the debt of multiple countries.
@shankaran pillai The port was built by whose money? China! And from now on its owner is Srilanka, and when it can MAKE more money from the lease and from whom...? China! Instead of using the money repaying the debt to the lender China so it can pays the lease ( in this case 99 yrs), why not just reducing it directly from the debt it owed China? It is a win-win deal for the both parties! In the end, Srilanka owns the port and China (builder) using it; It is one more step to prosperity! Peace.
Frankly, I want to repeat again, China never FORCES any one to sign business deals, its money is hard earned too and not for charity, except when it wants to help.
@@Ash-vv8zg “western hubris” .. he’s African raised Lol
So what's better for Africa? China's debt colonialism or remain underdeveloped for eternity?
Neither of both, they should learn to develop by itself
@@charlygarciagza9357 easy to say so
@@charlygarciagza9357 The damage has already been done.
You don't have to be colonized to undergo development. you make it seem as if these are the only 2 options
According to the high morals of the IMF and World Bank, you don't deserve to develop.
The difference between the west and china is that China wants to develop Africa and the west does not want to develop Africa or even for Africa to develop. The west gets much more from an undeveloped Africa than they would from a developed one. A developed Africa would mean Africans owning their resources and no longer being exploitable by the west.
China, on the other hand, gains nothing from an undeveloped Africa as poor Africans cannot trade Chinese goods or make use of Chinese mega projects. So China wants Africa to shape up and not be dominated by wars. Well, the west thrive in wars in Africa and continue to fuel wars and start new ones to keep Africa below development.
Africans need to make their choice as to which devil is better for them.
hahaha
True💯
Exactly
Yup!
Third option, neither. Africa is in no hurry
Why don’t you do a segment criticizing “la France Afrique” which is French neo colonialism in Africa and is much worse?
France has been stealing trillions of dollars from Africa
Because it's not new, France has been exploiting Africa for centuries. China is new to the game.
As is America...
Are you kidding me Trevor want to keep the establishment happy so he can keep his high paying job. Even if it mean turn his back on half of his peoples.
Trevor need to sound American or he's deported..
@@debbiemarquis3231 u got the point.
Trevor change so much, Trevor is selling out for the US dream. If the US, France and the UK would stop taking Africa riches without giving back . Africa would be able to negotiate better to get development
China has struggled for many years to get out of the difficult time, no one gets benefits without paying the cost, and people have to understand that China is not doing charity. this is the way every country has to get through if they want to become strong, Africa probably needs to work even harder than China to small the gap with the other countries, help from the others always has limits or conditions.
Trevor is smart, but this may be an over simplification. I think he also needs to highlight the alternatives which he has probably experienced. When countries in Africa use Chinese money to build up the infrastructure (roads, ports, electricity, water, transportation etc.), it helps these countries to eventually develop and stand on their two feet. African countries have already tried to work with western institutions like the IMF and World Bank, which push countries further into poverty. The IMF and World Bank loans comes with terms that do not allow countries to build infrastructure, so countries spend on things that do not allow them be independent and end up servicing the loans for decades. Building McDonalds, StarBucks, Apple stores, and Coca Cola factories doesn’t build a country, despite what we are told, but creating infrastructure does develop a country.
they are peddling the fake debt trap narrative which is debunked by researcher after researchers .Debt trap is a myth.
No using telling him that. He feeds from the western hand and speaks from a script or bullet points prepared for him by his masters.
People act like they know everything about Africa, when in fact they know nothing
You're exactly right.
I think Trevor might have got it wrong this time
I remember USAID projects in Egypt at its heyday.. all Engineers and supervisors weren't Egyptian nor Europeans. They were Americans. Some too young and inexperienced. All tech and standards and equipment were American. And when the big privatization happened in 1990s. The only buyers were Americans. Just saying man. Chinese just learnt from the best.
US Aid projects are different though. Countries don't need to pay back the loans.
It's different. China's aid comes with no strings attached
That is 100% true but the real thing is when are humans going to learn when one is oppressed all are
@@exponentialcomplexity3051 Recipient of USAID might not need to repay the loan but they have to lose their sovereignty.
@@deepmarkam Not the same thing in any way. There is no binding agreements. Furthermore, if a country is giving Aid ( which is literally free money) of course they are going to expect something in return.
Loan for failed projects which the country needs to repay is completely different as it destroys the economy.
The question to ask is, if there r sufficient skilled workers who can handle such big infrastructure projects in these African countries?
Infrastructures are the backbone of economic growth, connecting cities and ports, villages, provide tremendous opportunities for people to sell their goods, create factories and so on.
I am so disappointed with your words, Trevor. You should go to your hometown to check what's the Chinese investment changed the Africa society .We have many telecom projects in Africa，and we hired many poor local graduated students, they can earn a nice salary and learn many things they can't learn from the local companies, when we left ,they are still there and continue their contributions to their homeland, many of them became engineers, project managers, experts, a provide a nice life for their families, and you and the westerners, just want your homeland people live in Jungle! yes, they may have problems in the future about debt ,but the cost is much less than the achievements they got!
if Africa don't have airports, railways, hospitals, schools,...how can they develop their econimic? the westerners always want other nations to do the lowest jobs and earn little money , so you can enjoy more resources forever , right?

When you say China's money has "no strings attached" you talk about democracy and human rights, as if that's the only variable involved, but in truth the strings attached to the IMF and World Bank's money have to do with a country's capacity to make their own economic policies. If the IMF gives you a loan, they basically tell you what you can or can't do as a government with your money. That's insane, and it's absolutely normalized.
Facts

mao china ask tibet and hong kong about it
Yes. When you loan money from a bank to buy a house, you have to buy a house.
You can lend money to start a business. The bank wants you to start that business to get their money back. If they don't like the business you will get no loan.

Why? I'm Chinese-American and I still think what they're doing is horrible.

Using economic power to gain political influence is not exactly a new concept especially to the US. And, for the Africa, the question is whether working with China is better than their former exploiters, European countries. And, one last point about labor - of course the Chinese have the better job positions, the same reason Western workers have the better positions when they open factories in China. The country that export expertise of course will send over supervisors. Thats the whole point of foreign factories.
I remember an editorial written years ago that if China only ditches confucianism and embraces capitalism it would be a great US ally (resources and manpower). Writer never considered China to be a rival or working to well as a capitalist ally (outsourcing) .
Using economic power to gain political power is not new. The British wrote the book on it. What is new is the deceit and underlying duplicity that China employs. There is very little gained but almost everything is lost. Look at Sri Lanka now. Such examples are galore throughout Africa and Asia.
what about in us the white people have the better job, is this a new thing?
no
@@nuanced8225 the British East India company disagrees with you
So when American firms went to set up factories 20 years ago the average salary of an American worker is also many folds higher than that in China...and it was alright then for Americans to move their factories to China but it is now a crime when China does it!!! Make sense when passing judgement.

i like how they said workers in China made 7x more than workers in Africa without much context. What’s the amount comparative to cost of living? (The ratio for Nike factory workers in Vietnam and China are like 20-30x less than in America btw)
They didn't say workers in "China made 7x more", they said the Chinese workers (who are imported), make about 10x more than their African counterparts or coworkers; meaning they live in the same country. Meaning they have the same cost of living. The context was always there, but you had to be paying a little attention, and clean the bias out of your ears.
But sadly, you are correct that China is certainly far from the only country that exploits people of other countries. China just happens to be doing it on the largest scale worldwide.

Trever, love you show! if you have never visited China, do it! it will change your perspective i guarantee it.
Aren't those complaints the same everywhere? Those loans given out are not credit cards, they need collaterals. If the loan defaults, collaterals are seized as is the norm. How is this nefarious especially when the interest rates aren't out of the ordinary considering the risks that the Chinese must take.
As for workers, some jobs require more training to execute or to operate the machineries. Until African workers are fully trained to do the job, it is natural to have Chinese there first. There are more Africans in higher positions or taking up the lower level jobs than before, so I don't understand the complaint. Pay difference is always there. I've worked in American companies for more than 2 decades and my pay is no where near Americans doing the same job and that's understandable. The cost of living is just different even if the work is in the same country.
Natural resources are needed as mentioned. But before they can be put to use, they need to be extracted and that cost money to do so. What is different is the Chinese is starting to do the refining at source, which allows the host countries to earn more from selling the natural resources. Of course for those who always complain, they see this as poluuting the host countries. Can't win there.
If the US has a better offer, they can go ahead and invest in Africa. Until then, you are not in the position to criticized China.

I have been to China for more than 10 times, Chinese have a plan like a marshall plan that was implemented by the United states to the white nations after wwII . USA influsences Europe, likewise, Chinese want to be a superstar by influencing 54 independent African countries not only economically but also politically. Nothing is new here. The new thing is when Chinese invest in africa we call it exploitation, for Eurpoean we call it an investment.
Let me ask you, not alone in Euorpean investment, in United states does the better positions go to the natives, blacks, brown people? big no, What is wrong if they bring their best workers to manage their factory.
Btw, the term 'exploitation' is all economical,... European want to collect taxes through every business exchange through their currencies and Chinese encourage Africans to not use it at least when they make business with China. Instead of selling oil in euro/dollar and buying stuff from China through that money, Chinese want to exchange the goods directly.
I believe, as an African we got enough lesson that Eurpoeans will never invest on our infrastructure, they will never engage on technology transfer, they always use human right for their political advantage.
The west and USA are monster, devil ... 😡😡😡😡

Trevor, a South African, did not complain his country does not do anything to help his fellow Africans to build infrastructure and industries. In fact, South Africa is going downhill itself. He is living in America and serves American interests, not Africans at all.
The negative view is that not fair labor. China send engineers from their own country is because they probably make sure the project does not defect.

I like how Trevor is highlighting these chinese economic/political power plays. China doing the same thing in latin america and the caribbean.

@@porcorosso4330 You need to realize that for a lot of African countries, they are facing the choices of either accepting this deal with China and having the infrastructures, or not having the infrastructure at all. It’s not like the west will help them build these projects. It’s just a risky deal.
That's a double standard the IMF been doing that for years. China build road and rail way who else will help??
As your Chinese audience, I think whenever you are involved in construction loans in Africa, you forget the history of the West and how to look at things objectively.
For example, we need to compare what China and the West have done, and compare the positive and negative impact China has brought to Africa (compared with the western leadership here).
If you have financial difficulties, please put forward. Please don't give up your neutral thinking and mind for any potential support.

If China hires African workers in technical positions, nothing will be done because Africa doesn't have enough technicians. The fact is that Chinese companies employ a very large number of local workers in Africa, and Chinese workers mainly play the role of teachers in Africa, and a Chinese worker will lead several African workers, and the main job of Chinese workers is to teach skills to African workers. Chinese companies are not fools! A Chinese worker's salary is several times higher than that of an African worker, and a Chinese company will not hire you to work in Africa just because you are Chinese!

Japan did it in the US, the US did it everywhere else.... now it is bad? Yea it is, and at the same time no one is still stepping in to help the countries of Africa. The mineral wealth alone should make the countries of Africa the leading powers.
We keep bringing in the mineral wealth topic. If African nations have the resources to mine it and process it on their own, then sell it or trade said minerals, that is what I would support as well in the form of self-reliance. The reality is that African nations need the resources to achieve this goal and lack both the financial and technological means. No one else is truly supporting Africa on a large enough scale where the African people will enjoy the benefits. We need to observe this Africa-China arrangement to ensure the outcomes will be mutually beneficial and not one sided.
With the large population growth in Africa (project 2 billion), infrastructure development must begin now, not later or there will be the same issues that undermine other even more developed countries.

Africa doesn't lack vision the continent has had 2 attempted economic blooms which have been thwarted.
Very true.
I think African nations lack both. So while the youth of Africa will be better than their predecessors, African nations still need to start planning for infrastructure growth in order to accommodate the projected 2 billion population growth. We should focus on whether the current arrangement is mutually beneficial or just one sided. Our decisions should be fact driven, not emotionally driven. Especially with all the anti-China rhetoric happening, we need to look at everything with clarity, not bias.
