If you really want to stop China from helping Africa, then help Africa better than China.
Why would anyone want to stop China from helping Africa? Also; they're not helping Africa, they're helping themselves.
Citizens of the countries in Africa need to make their Nations better. Individuals from outside can do very little. You have to have the desire Within
@@izdatsumcp Mutual benefits
@@luvpewthings8528 Yes, their intention is to help themselves and, in doing so, they help Africa. It's great, a win-win.
What a stupid comment.
It's weird how the continent of Africa is generally seen as a single country
thats by design
just like we call colored people minority when the earth is 90% colored
Just for clarification, Africa consists of more than just dark-complextioned people...
can you enlighten me?
Why not "endarken". Why is "light" intellect and not "darkness". If anything light blinds and makes us ignorant. I say racist sir!
Simply put it....western countries wasn't interested in investing in Africa until the chinese invested.
They may still not.........
China is taking over African countries because they want to control those sweet UN votes.
Simply put it... If Africa believed whatever China says.... Then they're stupid....
Western countries ruined Africa. If Gaddafi was still alive, Africa would have been way more powerful as he didnt want to sell it. Yet they killed him anyway as he threatened to ditch the dollar...

Elnino sfd "former colonial Europeans"? That generation has mostly died off; Europe got out of Africa a while ago. Stop trying to dredge up white guilt.
Remember all of those Austrian, Hungarian, Polish, Czechoslovak, Yugoslav, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Swedish, Irish, Finnish, Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian colonies! All European countries have a dark history of colonialism and therefore they deserve to be colonized back by muslims and africans!
LMFAO
I’d rather to know how Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea have already became America’s America.
Dafak Trudeau and Trump hate each other, all Canada ever did in recent history was hand over Meng Wanzhou
the chairwoman to Huawei to us authorities. But for some reason many people from China freaked out about it, I can tell you if China arrested Dani Reiss

Trust me I’ve lived in Africa and when I tell you Chinese helped a lot.....They really did,It was around 2013,2014...Kenya’s highway system was completely revolutionized....As commoner you could feel it,No more potholes,We had a four way road system even for low income areas and “Thicka” a big town now,blew out of nowhere. Atleast China is doing something unlike the Us and Eu...Who cause war and complain about Immigration

Cutie Zalbu Ikr I wish the US and other powers would help out in Africa a lot more too.
I'm from Kenya. The Chinese have really helped in our development but recently people are getting worried as more of them come to start small businesses that compete with locals
That's good, learn from them. China people studied in oversea (especially usa) brought back knowledge to their mainland. Now instead of going oversea, you have the privilege to learn them locally (Africa). Keep it up
I am a Chinese.
There was a time I told my father that I want to do business in Africa...
Then my father told me that he would break my legs if I did that...
That's good, China learned from foreign companies in its territory, you should also learn! Follow the path of Chinese development.

@The Polymath What kind of rubbish comment is this? Do you think China is doing africa a favour? Better wake up mate. We all need trading partners.

Wow, that's actually a very sensible policy. Africa has both a cheap ready-to-work population and resources, China gives them capital to get jobs, and China makes a good income.
Both China and Africa are winning.
Africa has both the potential to be the factory and the farm of the world. Investing in this continent will only bring prosperity to everybody. I don't understand why americans are busy space exploration at this point while we still have heavily unexploited land.

@@@balderii7340 I think your ideal total no sense. Africa was West's West over two hundred years. Africa speaks English and French. West should already let Africa have tons of lawyers, doctors, and business owners themselves tens of years ago. Did you question the western country anytime? Should western countries take more responsibility than China about Africa today?
China: I wanna buy some minerals from you.
Africa: Sure, come and have a look.
China: The minerals are great, but the transportation is kinda slow.
Africa: But we can't afford to build railways and ports for fast transportation.
China: How about this, I'll help you build railways and ports. It makes it easier for us to do business and also for you to develop your own economy.
Africa: That's a solid win-win! Couldn't be better. Nice deal!
Some westerners from nowhere: EXPLOITATION! COLONIZATION! DARK DEAL! DEBT TRAP! COMPLETE OBLITERATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY!
right,only china can and need to give a help hand of build .Usa and europe only want money,but dont want work,if they find oil in Africa,may Africa is in war now.
You literally don't understand do you? Why is it all of a sudden for China to help Africa out. China has never been interested in helping Africans out of kindness. Its simply out of pure hidden agenda. Even though the West has been guilty of doing the same similar thing. What China is doing is literally worse. Just you wait. In the few decades China is going to come back knocking on Africa's door and asking them to repay all those "Gifts". The politicians and government in Africa are corrupt. They only care about themselves not thier citizens. So the government don't care about the serious consequences because effect them but it will effect the citizens. Why can't Africa be independent and try build all these railroads and infrastructure by themselves?
Why do they have to have to be so reliant on another country? You don't see parts of South America doing this. You don't war torn place in parts of the Middle East asking for development help. China should be no where near Africa at all. It has absolutely no business with. And people like you are part of the problem. You are not helping in the slightest bit.

It's so American for us to get mad at China's one military base located outside their country while we have over 800 all across the globe
Daniel
Military bases are signed by treaties firstly, so America is there because they have permission to be there.
Secondly, China is the only country in the world making artificial islands to make military bases on them at the detriment of neighbouring nations resource rights, their nations territorial waters and such (Southeast Asia).
Cryptaris Protocol An American saying about resources of other countries loool
Daniel
Difference between US and China was that China didn't get official consent yet for military bases.
Nihal Ar
Do you fucking understand how international waters work? What China is doing in Southeast Asia should already have them in a war by now, especially with India. When the Chinese dare to fucking cross into Indian northern territory and dare to claim Indian territory as “Chinese”.
If America wanted to do what China was doing all 800 bases globally around the world would be considered “American land” and “American waters” claimed by some flimsy fabricated historical document (what the Chinese always say to state that have a claim to the whole South China Sea, which is horseshit) and America would proceed to sink every ship, destroy every vehicle or thing that even came by those bases (because that is what China is doing in Southeast Asia), but that’s not what happens since those bases are their usually for policing action or plain military defence.
Get educated on China before you start getting snarky and being an apologist for fucking Nazi style “let’s seize the goddamn Danzig through fabricated evidence against the Poles” or Russian style “I am suddenly concerned for my Russian minority in Ukraine, we invade tomorrow!”
E Tow
The where fuck is this base exactly located, because America has no bases placed on artificially made islands in the South China Sea.
And if you are speaking about Djibouti then I don’t give a fuck because American and American Allies with their bases where their first and have permission to be there. China is the newcomer to that land.

And I have criticized both governments. I am actually rather kind to China, but they have a very narrow tolerance for amyone who has a different opinion or perspective.
China will agree with you as long as it is in their interest.
China thinks that the whole South China Sea belongs to them because it's named after then.
China claims ocean territory over Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei. About 2,500 km away from their boarder. What China deems reasonable is ridiculosly unfair to everyone else. And of course these nations will not agree to China's bullying.
US maybe backwards in their policies, but they are not aggressively trying to take control of other nations assets.
China engages in predatory loans lending large sums of money host countries can never pay back, China builds the infrastructure foe them and then the infrastructure is sold back to China because they can't pay the loans.
China built for Sri Lanka a $1.5 billion dollar port. Sri couldn't pay the debt, now China has control of the port for 99 years. This is just one of many stories. China will do it to you too.
China screwed Taiwan over too, Taiwan allowed China tourism to increase them because President Tsai was elected to Taiwan China banned you're still to Taiwan hurting the local tourism economy.
give them what they want. They will treat you well, have a Duffy opinion from them, the government will try to hurt you by any means necessary.

Isn't economic power hard power?
srd xxx
Hard power is guns, everything else is soft
ECA Joseph Nye, who coined the term, said that soft power is power other than military and economic, which are both hard power. A lot of people use their own definitions, but I think most of them agree on those two being hard power,
Like, China has a huge movie-watching market, and only allows a few foreign made films in each year. So they tell Hollywood to say nice things about China in their movies or their movies won't be let in. That's hard power. Then people around the world watch Hollywood movies and hear nice things about China. That's soft power.
The US only interested in military projects, strategic base and war programs in Africa in the last 30 years. The US main interest were to arm the African as part of the US military. Go check out the history the peak of US influence in Africa. The European only interested in colonialism. They strip and take as much as possible back to Europe. Go check out the history of that.
African were sick and tired of wars proudly made in the USA and robbing their resources and slavery by the European nations.

Towards the end, this video basically says: "Now that China has done all the hard work of helping Africa's industrialization to take off, western companies should establish themselves throughout Africa." Nothing wrong with that, but why all the hate against China in the first place? Apparently the Chinese knew what they were doing, and they are doing an excellent job. Why was the West unable to realize Africa's industrialization in the past 50 years ? Also, there is talk about human rights, but industrialization is the biggest human right there is; all human beings have the right to live in dignity and prosperity. Poverty and underdevelopment is a crime against humanity.
Metsada007 quite agree. One can never cares about human rights before fulling his stomach.
Idk about poverty a crime against humanity, more of lessons for humanity, where few constantly learn the consquences of it

The Tiananmen Sauare Masaacre, Xi Jinping being leader for life, the fact rhat they are communists, the fact that their first communist leader got 60,000,000 of his people killed with bad policies, and North Korea are good reasons for the West to be wary of China.

Literally yesterday got back from a trip to Uganda and Kenya and every where there were construction sites or towns with Ugandan or Kenyan flags being flown alongside Chinese flags.
I don't know what all is going on regarding these situations. But I"m a little mixed about an African flag flying next to a Chinese one. I want there to be good relations between other countries. But i'm not sure if this is on the up and up.
I think it was just showing how the two countries were working together. The reason I brought up the fact was because it was so reoccurring. You couldn't drive more then 10 miles, more in Kenya then Uganda, without seeing a Chinese flag painted on a wall or an advertisement for a Chinese company on the side of the road.
Spikey Plant yeah that is possible. Africa is easy to exploit and China is taking full advantage of the situation.
Yeah fuck China.
The said "asian" were in fact mainly Indians, Lebanese .... just a few Chinese.
Before China made large-scale investment in Africa, the western developed countries also operated in Africa for many years. I would like to ask the western developed countries some questions. Have the people of Africa established their own industrial system? Have African people solved the problem of food and fresh water? Has the transportation network (highways, railways, ports, airports) been set up on the African continent? Is Western investment in Africa free of charge? Have the problems of health care, employment and education of African people been properly solved?
I love that energy from you❤ yes Africans are useless unfortunately and it troubles me greatly that when I die 1 in 2 people will be African I tell you.
My favorite part is comparing Chinese economic relationships with Africa as "colonialism". Then why isn't any other economic relationship "colonialism"? Did America "colonialist" China by setting up factories there? Here's the big difference:
1) colonialism by western powers was done by Military Power. You did what they wanted or they shot you in the face.
2. Chinese and African relationships are Voluntary Economic relationships. They came to terms mutually, and African nations are free to stop doing business China at anytime without getting shot in the face.
Because it was American private companies that set up factories in China, and they only manufacture things there, they don't require China as a country to do anything for them or to give them over its natural resources. Which is what China is doing, they help African countries in order to get their votes in the UN, or when they can't pay back (which they often can't because many of those countries are poor and corrupt) they take over control of their resources or strategically important points, like ports. That's why it is compared to colonialism, they're using economic aid as a tool to extract African countries' resources.
@thadius sean hey,there are two types of war . military and financial war..China is waging the second one.i agree the west don't say this out of their goodness in hearts.they are scared of China becoming superpower.they don't have any right to talk about colonialism.while all this is true,china is also repeating the same colonialism by economical means in developing countries
@@arya5094 LOL I am laughing so hard on this fictitious "financial colonialism". you do realize that this debt is risky right? China has gained no power on African anything with this loan because when it comes to countries the only constraint for repaying is morality. Greece for instance. Africa can deny this debt and their government can take back what China is owned when they feel bullied by China because there is no military threat from China. That's the most significant difference between this "business" and "colonialism". They ally with China rather than the bullies who came to their land build nothing and scavenge for 100 years.

There are still over 7 millions slaves in Africa from other Blacks and Arabs What about the Black Tribes that took over Africa slaughtering other minority Groups are the Fascist oh Yes. What is almost never remarked upon is that the people capturing the slaves and transporting them to the coast were Arab Muslim & Africans. Prior to the development of modern vaccines and medicines a European going any distance inland in west Africa was running a serious health risk (it wasn't called a White Man's Grave for nothing). The trade was only possible because Arabs & Africans enslaved others and the en-slavers had been doing it for 7 centuries before the Europeans arrived. Arabs killed more Africans in transit, especially when crossing the Sahara Desert, than Europeans and Americans, and over more centuries, both before and after the years of the Atlantic slave trade. Arab Muslims began extracting millions of black African slaves centuries before Christian nations did. Arab slave traders removed slaves from Africa for about 13 centuries, compared to three centuries of the Atlantic slave trade. African slaves transported by Arabs across the Sahara Desert died more often than slaves making the Middle Passage to the New World by ship. Slaves invariably died within five years if they worked in the Ottoman Empire’s Sahara salt mines. Black Africans did not enjoy immunity to many of the diseases found in the Arab world, which also resulted in high death rates. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanj_Rebellion Slaveholders in the Muslim world often castrated black African male slaves to serve as harem guards. This is a prime reason there are not many communities of blacks living in the non-African Muslim world today, despite the millions of black African slaves sold into the Muslim world. Many African boys did not survive their castration surgery. As late as 1903, there were still 194 African eunuchs in service to the Ottoman ruling family. African women were enslaved by Arabs more than African men. Few black slave children survived in the Muslim world. In 1860, when 3,000 black female slaves were set free in Zanzibar, only 5% of them had children. Because under Islamic law a concubine bearing the child of the master could become a wife and her children would then share in the inheritance, Middle Eastern wives and children of masters had a strong incentive to interfere with the sex lives of female slaves and cause brutal abortions. Islamic jurisprudence historically allowed abortions in the first four months of pregnancy, long before the West allowed it. Islamic tradition supports the view that the soul enters the fetus at 120 days. If a concubine had the only son, the threat to the wife was even greater. The Koran allowed Muslim men to have as many concubines as they could afford, in addition to four wives. The Arab history of anti-black racism predates European anti-black racism by several centuries. The early Islamic empire exhibited all the characteristics of anti-black racism, and blacks suffered the lowest form of bondage. By 869 A.D., black African slaves in southern Iraq, the despised Zanj, launched an extended slave revolt that threatened Baghdad until 883 A.D. The main reasons we have not heard more about the horrors of slavery in the Muslim world are that Muslims did not express moral outrage against slavery and wrote no abolitionist literature against the institution of slavery. Dr. Thomas Sowell characterizes the moral indignation against New World slavery, and the lack of any such indignation against the Muslim or non-Western world, as “selective moral indignation.” The moral outrage against slavery was and is, in the grand historical context, a European-inspired cause gaining significant traction only in the 1760s. Europeans took photographs of chained black African slaves in Arab slave-trading vessels on the East Coast of Africa in the 1880s. Slavery persisted openly in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries in the latter half of the twentieth century, 100 years after slavery was abolished in the United States. As late as 1960, African Muslims still sold slaves when they arrived on pilgrimages, as a way to finance their pilgrimages. Arab nations lagged far behind the rest of the world in abolishing slavery: Saudi Arabia and Yemen in 1962, United Arab Emirates in 1963, Oman in 1970 and Mauritania officially in 1981. Today, according to U.S. State Department figures, Muslim nations condone international human trafficking more than Western countries do. David Livingstone observed in Africa the horrendous slave trading practices of Arab and pagan slave traders, decades after Great Britain had begun to suppress the international slave trade, and almost a century after Lord Mansfield, with the stroke of a pen, freed slaves in England. The Ottoman Empire resisted British efforts to suppress slavery and the slave trade. Over the course of 70 years, 2,000 British sailors died to free 160,000 slaves. While Islam urged improved treatment of slaves in some ways, the rapid expansion of the Muslim empire rapidly increased the number of slaves, leading to crueler treatment. Africa and the Middle East never developed the moral abolitionist fervor seen in Western nations. Slavery is now most prominent in Africa. From the time of the Crusades until the early 1800’s, Barbary pirates or corsairs from Muslim North Africa raided European coasts and waters, selling captive Europeans as slaves in North African ports and Istanbul. Barbary corsairs attacked shipping in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, raiding the coasts of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Britain, Ireland, and Africa for slaves. Some Mediterranean islands and coasts in Spain and Italy were abandoned due to the threat of Barbary slave raiding. The United States initially paid tribute to the Barbary pirates to obtain the return of American captives. After building ships, the United States fought the First and Second Barbary Wars to stop this slave trading and piracy. In fact, the desire to defend American shipping and sailors from Barbary piracy gave re-birth to the U.S. Navy. There are plenty of people who traded slaves alive and this is still going on today. 1952: Qatar abolishes slavery. 1958: Bhutan abolishes slavery. 1959: Slavery in Tibet is abolished by China after the Dalai Lama flees. 1960: Niger abolishes slavery (though it was not made illegal until 2003). 1962: Saudi Arabia abolishes slavery. 1962: Yemen abolishes slavery. 1964: The United Arab Emirates abolishes slavery. 1970: Oman abolishes slavery. 1981: Mauritania abolishes slavery. 2003: Niger makes slavery a crime. 2007: Mauritania makes slavery a crime. However the traders in these countries were mostly non-white, so many people are afraid to mention it.?
Look dude, I've lived in China for about 1 year in total and both of my parents are full-blooded Chinese people, the amount of racism there is disgusting, (granted I know that they don't get properly educated about race, because their average school system sucks) it's not the people that are "inherently" racist, it's that the government of China has done nothing to stop it, their situation is about the same to ours 50 years ago (any outsider would've thought that we were racist little shits). But needless to say, China is in fact, using Africa.

It turned out well for China in the last 50 years. I have high hopes that it'll be good for Africa in the next 50 years too.

You need to get through your head, whites have lost Africa to the Chinese. Since 2000 africa GDP went from 600 billion to 3.1 trillion in 18 years. Poverty went down from 53% to 35%. In 1970 only 15% of africans lived in urban areas that has reached 40%. No matter what you say we have witness the difference between dealing with whites and dealing with the Chinese. You will never convince someone who PERSONALLY saw the change within their lifetime to be AntiChina.

".. it took the west over 300 years to achive the same results.."
Are you seriously this stupid? The west HAD to pull themselves from medieval era towards industrialization from SCRATCH by inventing more efficient industrial machines.
By the time South Korea, Japan, Singapore and China started to modernize, the western industralization is already complete and they let other countries to learn from the already efficient industrial machines.
You should know that there is no free lunch in the world. Still, a win-win could be achieved.
I wouldnt call it a win-win... Tempting corrupt governments to take huge loans so you can debt-trap them and use it as political leverage isnt really a win-win for the average man in an african country as much as the chinese
Isaak Wang China isn’t using a debt trap system, these nations know that they have to pay China back, and if they don’t they will have that asset seized. It’s like the USA tbh, but less despicable.
@@garlonschuman1014 Yes, they know, but their corrupt governments cant give less of a crap. Just look at what is happening in Sri lanka, Kenya, Pakistan and the list goes on, where people are rioting to throw the chinese out. In the long run, this really doesnt profit the populations, and yes, we are purposefully trapping them in debt
Isaak Wang Why wouldn’t their governments care? If those people want their power, why would they let China seize the assets they have built? That would only piss off the countries’ population if anything
@@garlonschuman1014 Do you know how much money government officials can make from "infrastructure projects"? Not to mention that we are prolly sweetening the deal by bribing them. They are not stupid, they know that they cannot pay back the debt and their countries will be trapped in debt, but those officials will gain a ton of personal wealth in the process, so they will push it forwards. And yes, they are pissing off the population, again look to the riots in Sri Lanka as an example, but not enough to start a revolution or coup because opposition is usually stomped out. remember that the seat of power in those countries are not given by the people. Why do you think that China only does this kind of deal with poor, corrupt autocratic countries? Selling out their country and population's future is a small price to pay for wealth.
im a chinense engineer，and i will go to africa to do some urban construction projects。i am sorry for what you said，i think i was doing something meaningful。isn't it a good thing to build africa？
Most of China's population has absolutely no regard for Blacks. it is neocolonialism and will put Africa into debt with China. They are surely not doing this out the kindness of their hearts.
Ahhh yeah, you probably right. How about the western world did, are they out the kindness of their hearts ?
What China do in Africa is way better than what US or Europe countries did.
please channel your expertise in solving the smog problem in china first. dont go to africa to exploit them and ruin the planet with more co2/methane.
yumao Lin love from pakistan brother pak china friendship zibdabad
Do you still remember how European countries invaded Africa?Now China just helped contributes these poor countries which were deeply invaded,even have people worry about that😅
Arabs also invaded Africa aswell
@@Orcinus-s4z and china will do that in the future too
Chinese is one of the most successful merchants in the world, if not the the most successful. I admire their style of business.
I am not kissing ass, it's just my observation.
most of them are pretty sketchy tho
Yes! you are right man . you have broad minded.
China’s business philosophy lies in how to make friends.
If Gaddafi's plan of a gold backed currency for the AU had been implemented, Africa would never have needed help from anybody. African leaders should have had his back.
@Progressive Republican you're missing the larger picture. The currency would have been used by all of Africa. It would have replaced the petrodollar. The new currency would be used to sell oil to the global market. Western economies would have taken a huge hit from that. A United Africa is a threat to the west
@Progressive Republican hacked emails from western politicians say otherwise.The Gaddafi assassination was never about human rights abuses, which was told in western media. They wanted to keep Africa dependent on foreign aid. But, believe what you want
Yes
Too bad the USA fking killed him!!! Muricans...
@Progressive Republican the irony being that almost all Gold comes from Africa.

@dxnny g Its already open to Canadians ..we are one .thats why we share our military with them and they dont need a green card to get here because they are already citizens and we look at them as .we are close..militarily and economically
Canada not hearing that lol
Isn't it already?
:C
No
Your title got me thinking,What did the white people bring to the black people when they colonized Africa for hundreds of years? This is the question that today's white people should think about.

@Odorous SmegmaGuess what the US will do the same with china.
Without infrastructure poor countries remain in a Poverty Trap of stagnation.
Infrastructure is the essential platform for countries to grow and modernize.
Why do people assume becoming more 'modernized' is automatically good ?
The pollution, cultural erosion, drugs, taxes, loss of freedom, entanglement with world politics - there is a down side.
@L. Dega Safe Roads, Clean Water, Solar Power, Cell Phones, proper sanitation, organic improved farming. Basic Housing, Health Care, and Nutrition. If people can get that, they can live a very healthy and happy life. :-) The downside is when they catch the 1st world diseases: obesity watching TV all the time, spending more time in social media than actually socializing. Spending more money on escapism than on bettering their living conditions. Addictions. Vice. etc. Blah.
Things no society needs, and USA has far too much of ! :-/
@@SeaJay_Oceans we can talk about those issues after our africa brothers have plentiful food on their table, and lives a stable comfortable lives. How can you talk about ideals when you are struggling to live.
@@OceWhat12345 I too am struggling to Live, and the pains of the day lead to a better life.
My hope is in Jesus and hard work.
Do hard work with no goal or no faith - it is just labor and pain. To Have faith and sing songs but do nothing (!) nothing will change. Stay positive brothers and sisters - our hope is in each other, our efforts, and the in the Love that created our world and us too ! :-)
Unless the infrastructure puts countries into debt, and is built by Chinese construction firms that depreciate local labor markets. Also, the infrastructure construction is often poorly managed
When us gave loans to europe, that was ok... But when china is giving loan to africa, thats loan debt
Western idiots.
Three-quarters of Africa's debt comes from European countries
There is so much stupidity in the comments. I am half African and grew up in Nigeria. The Chinese are putting African nations in loan debts, and terrorizing African societies.
Further, just because Europe did something (which everyone already criticizes) it does not mean China can do it later. What you pro-chinese are commenting here is basically like kidnappers saying "that guy over there kidnapped too" in court. 🤦

@@mentoshoarder5175 Name me a other countries or institutions that gives low to none interest loans... You are dumb when you criticizing China and not see dependency on west, Western companies own your farmland, water, ore rich areas, markets and pay you few cents by day - in same time they learn milions by import your cheap production back to homeland, they will in change give you back some old pharmaceutics or boilet water, ah saviors -...
当以前中国和非洲一样困难时期时 就是作为平等友谊的难兄难弟 如今 中国好起来了 也必须帮助非洲兄弟过上好日子
At least they do business with locals and build infrastructure, what did France do?
Exactly. France stole all the resources and sent it back to France, supported slavery, exploitation and coups.
colonization, bullies, enslaved that is all france/west did
Forgot to mension what they did in Algeria... They even did an illegal nuclear test :|
oh, just brought them actual civilization, prosperity and medicine, and basically everything they have except for mud huts.
france did genocide oops
I am Chinese. From what I know, China sent a lot of people to help African countries since the 1960s even in domestic food shortage or cultural revolution. When people are poor, this is the time to see how sincere they are.
患难见真情
They're not giving charity. It's a business.
china used to build train in africa for free. you can search it.
Chongzhao Hu not one bag of flour from hateful America.huh
You realize China killed millions of people in that period right?
China is buying Africa. Not building it.
