- VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng explores how the City of London and its financial institutions profited from slavery in America long after the slave trade was abolished.
Empires of Dirt is a show about Europeans getting rich at the expense of everyone else. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng uncovers the ugly history of the European colonial empires they don’t teach us in schools.
Countries around the world were looted for their treasures, people were oppressed and exploited and European powers relentlessly profited. The far-reaching repercussions of colonialism are all around us, from our financial institutions to the food we have in our cupboards at home - and it’s about time we took notice.
Watch the next episode from Empires of Dirt, in which we look at how Britain stole $45 trillion from India during its long and oppressive rule: • How Britain Stole $45 ...

More than 500 top business and government leaders will attend the second iteration of the New Economy Forum, hosted by Bloomberg’s company and a Chinese government-backed think tank from November 20 to 22, according to a statement by Bloomberg Media Group. www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3010944/michael-bloomberg-host-second-edition-new-economy-forum
“Bloomberg LP doesn’t make money in China only by selling terminals. Through its massive Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Bloomberg LP is helping finance Chinese companies by sending billions of U.S. investor dollars into the Chinese bond market.
“This year, the index began a 20-month plan to support 364 Chinese firms by directing an estimated $150 billion into their bond offerings, including 159 controlled directly by the Chinese government. Bloomberg, along with other Wall Street firms, is effectively supporting the Chinese government’s efforts to resist the U.S. government’s economic pressure, while exposing American investors to increased risk.”

Li Zixue said at a panel discussion of the New Economy Forum in Beijing that 5G technologies will reshape a wide range of sectors and bring changes to the global telecom supply chains. Chairman of ZTE Corp, a major Chinese telecom equipment maker, called on the global community to adopt an open, collaborative and win-win approach to 5G, as the superfast technology is at the tipping point for commercial application.

WUHAN, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- The branches of Chinese major telecom operators in central China's Hubei Province announced Thursday the launch of commercial 5G applications in the province.
Wuhan City, the capital of Hubei, is expected to have 10,000 5G base stations by the end of 2019, said Song Qizhu, head of Hubei Provincial Communication Administration.

COVID-19 Catalyzes Commercial Use of 5G in China
May 26, 2020Posted byChina BriefingWritten byZoey ZhangReading Time:6 minutes
China is stepping up its 5G network construction as part of “new infrastructure” investments to spur its virus-hit economy and meet the long-term goal of becoming a leading high-tech innovator.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) expects the country to build and operate 600,000 5G base stations by the end of this year. At the end of Q1 2020, China had already established 198,000 5G base stations, covering over 50 cities. www.china-briefing.com/news/covid-19-china-5g-commercial-use-which-industries-benefit/

The UK lost its shirt in India. Many private enterprises made money, but the empire lost. Britain had an empire because it was rich. The Germans caught up so quickly because they had no empire leeching off its treasury.
With the exception of the Spanish, with their unique bullion-producing colonies in the new world, the rest of Europe simply raped their populations to pay for extravagant empires that were worthless.
Thank the Gods that the US was never so foolish as to fully take up “the white man’s burden,” which is why we had the means to save Europe from their colony-less oppressor, and later defeat the pauper USSR with its expensive colonies throughout the world.
And yes, I am aware of the US’s horrendous treatment of domestic minorities (African, indigenous, and Asian), but however immoral, the US as well as Germany had massive economic advantages in not having a treasury-bleeding empire to sustain

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.” -Thomas Jefferson

If people are really interested in righting the wrongs of slavery, start by not supporting companies that currently employ exploited people. Historical slavery is virtually important to understand, but current slavery can actually be stopped. If we're going to pay reparations, let's start by helping those currently enslaved. Look at the manufacturing practices of most large corporations and ask yourself if you're truly cool with supporting what they do. Slavery is an ongoing issue... it's time we eliminate the extant problem and mitigate the historical fallout.
if we can pay slave owners, we can pay reparations
let the africans who originally enslaved them pay it then
@@BobbyxZx africans NEVER enslaved anyone! Those souls were people who were on "work release" from other tribes until a debt was relieved. Then they were sent back to their home tribe. Then come the dutch and Portuguese...........ALSO black/copper colored people were already in America, so those so called "millions" of slaves during the transatlantic was false.
They would rather blame the victim not the victimizer
@@BobbyxZx who got 400 years of servitude? Who got unearned income for all those years? Who still benefits greatly by having these permanent underclass in the country?
@@TheKelmo2828 none of that, even if it were the whole truth, would justify the things done for silly revisionist histories like this. you can turn any single event (real or make believe) into the same victimhood game. i might as well believe in god again, to be fooled by woke rhetoric, both clubs require the same amount of ignorance and simple minded logic to join.
the phone you're watching this on is made by modern day slaves in sweatshops, not to mention the clothes your wearing. Slavery was an atrocity as is most of human history but people will eventually look back on us the same way we look back on our ancestors.
PREACH!
Exactly, it's capitalist wage slavery.
Sweatshops are just an example of the Raw Naked Brutality of capitalism fully exposed.
But don't be fooled, minimum wage jobs (all jobs under a boss in fact) in the west are an example of the same brutality just masked by Neoliberal bullshit.
In fact i was speaking to some Neolibs on reddit and they said that sweatshops are actually good because the workers earn more money than they did previously farming.
They're literally saying that some 14 year old girl breaking her body and spirit on 14 hour shifts 7 days a week for an extra $1.20 a day is progress.
I'm sorry but if that's the capitalist system working well then it's quite clearly an evil system.
Therefore saying thay socialism can't work because huh duh HuMaN nAtUrE is basically saying that human nature is inherently evil. Seriously Capitalism is a Fucking disease, keep distant don't let it infect your mind.
The current world has more slaves than before
if the world chooses socialism --> communism path, ya, what you said will happen
but if the world is just doing present neoliberal global capitalism, there will be even more slaves in future

Thats the fault of communist China not having laws against it.

No, i do not call the strawman that you just created "righteous". What i call righteous is people paying other people in order to free their slaves. I know it hurt your twisted soul and debunks your fictional narratives, but its still the reality. Deal wid it.
And if, as you claim, they were just "protecting" those peoples interests, then why even pay them to free the slaves, why not just allow them to carry on enslaving africans? That would have saved the government money and the slave owners would have been "protected", puppet.

@@skyleonidas9270 did you read this in your high school textbook?
And look how well India is doing now 🤣 only good thing is the railway and the British built that 🤣🤣

..And WHO owns the banks??
Thanks for this...love your content...keep it coming....put a spot where we can donate to keep this info current.
Not "Banks" or "Our Banks" ..
Straight up YOUR BANK ..
The title is kinda passive aggressive
not my Swedish bank 😳
Its just a way to get the audiences attention not everything is out to get you
You got a little typo there in the title: *make*
*Britain was the first empire to abolish slavery*
I would really love to know where all the money went from the east india company and how there descendants are spending it!!!!
I love your content. Its the naked truth. You are brave.
Could you provide us with the sources to this video? Would love to read more about it! Nice video :)
I keep leaving names of Historians who are doing research about slave ownership and banks but they keep disappearing

........ I'm not liking how this documentary is comparing today's standards to past decisions with out considering the standards of the past, this was all revaluationary at the time!
It’s an acknowledgment of past imperialism!
You don't apologize for the sins of our ancestors that is so ridiculous
3:58 just by looking at him, you can tell.
They out here baiting out william beckford snr, cause you know hes gonna get thrown in the thames.
What is even the point of this video? Should we not use banks anymore or something? Do you expect people to now start walking around with guilt and shame?
That point is education
who asked?
This world is so messed up.
The dealers, sellers, traders, financers, bringers, shoppers, buyers, and more were just trading back and forth
YINGYANG situations, who do you blame but African kings that sold their citizens for mirrors, you are meant to believe. You never look the same in a cheap mirror.
Just a quick kind of correction, although the British Empire abolished the slavery in 1807, it continued in it's colonies until 1838 (with exceptions territories under the East India Company, Ceylon and Saint Helena which carried on until 1843). It also continued in it's protectorates into the 20th century
3:11 I like the way that door contrasts with the rest of the building
Nothing can change the past we just have to teach ourselves and the next generation of our mistakes. So it dosent repeat.
Can you cover on why 'The' UK gives safe harbours to tax, drug fugitives from developing countries?
Great work ., well delivered...blessed to have seen it ..
Yes dirty channel is insulting the greatest empire of all time
The Royal Exchange was never used for stock/share trading...
We are not in slavery now. Was probably interesting 400 years ago.
Students should be taught this on history
They already know far too much about it for their own good
A man in Dublin James Connolly 1916 said. " It does not matter what flag we fly over the GPO In Dublin. If we have no control over the banks we have no Independence". Shot by firing squad 1916. What country has control over banks?
Why the focus on the UK?? Spain, French, and The Netherlands also had slaves in their colonies
Was every institution not involved during those times? Seems well beyond most statutes of limitations. In any case good to see such institutions acknowledging such wrongdoings
When are we going to open up about the amount of money African kingdoms made with slavery?
I get this is about exposing empires. But where’s France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Ottoman Empire, imperial japan, Belgium, Italy, Russia, the US etc. Britain’s not the only one with blood on it’s hands
That's because this is a hitpiece against Britain meant for British audiences.
Anyone who's ever read a book knows about the atrocities of empires. But that's how it is.
Ever wonder why all the peaceful societies are dead? The strong will eat the weak.
It's not pretty, but it is what it is.
But in this case rather than talk about atrocities from a neutral stance, these vice videos are simply Anti-British propaganda.
There will be no video about the Ottoman Empire or Sweden.
Your banks? Maybe change the title in: how OUR investors made money out of slavery.
Vice spilled Michaels confession of killing am innocent man, thank god he got what he deserved. Thank you vice so much keep doing what your doing
What is that story? Can you send the link
I happy you guys made a show about a topic like that
Great show, hoping for many others!
This used to be an outlet with cool dangerous and undercover journalism. It is a shame it went down to populist agenda. Next time you buy bread, ask if baker's ancestors were involved in slave trade. At least could have picked a journalist who is not Singaporean, Asia's center for human trafficking, i.e. modern slavery. Same logic.
ibould call this socialist
