  1. I’m hopeful for Africa! The fact that Africa has long been one of the richest in resources and the poorest in when it comes livable wages, speaks to the abuse and greed of western countries! Who is left to trust. Why lay in the soiled bed with the colonizers still! Bravo to Africa!

  2. Africans will learn eventually that the china they eulogize is no different from the western "trading/development partners" they blame for all their woes today. China is "an empire", like it or not. All empires thrive by exploitation in one way or other – intimidation tactics used by west or technology imbalance on the side of china today. Any development support provided by china to African countries comes with a flood of Chinese investors and poor Chinese migrants, many illegal, we cannot compete with by any criteria. All our industries will collapse if we have any at all. Africa must not look to china. We must do what everybody does: isolate your fledgling industries and be serious about culturally relevant education and economic, political and social development.

  3. That's right china let's give them Funds.
    Help them out be a good figure for the world.
    And help out those hungry kids Too.
    Drop some carepackages full of food on their land too??
    I mean all those who are in the rural areas In the most poor part of Africa.
    Send them some care packages of food.

  4. Reality: ⭐few infrastructures let Africa forget the top contributors and donations to UN, WHO, UNICEF ect. .. The zero tariff will let African precious raw materials be extracted to China on very affordable price and sale these to the world and Africa .. 💰💰💰 China wins 💰💰💰

  5. China will protect its largest creditor and trading partner from collapse,look at how China helped the United States in 2008 and how it helps Russia now,China understands that protecting its largest trading partner and creditor means protecting itself.
    If Africa countries want China's support, they need to bind it with trade.

  6. the leading purpose of the questions are so funny, china dont even worried about the usa debt, why worry about the strong growing economy countrys.
    Besides people there needs school, needs road and train, the question sgould be, someone else was there for decades why africa friends still need china to help building it

  7. Make friends now legal business at front but illegal business behind. Friendship now invade your own territory later . Bewar of china.. this is propaganda sponsored by china…

  8. Almost all African countries participated in this China-Africa summit. Your remark implies that Africans are stupid, which is a typical manifestation of racism.

  9. Can any countries, esp the west, do better? Your loans to Africa form 60% while China 20% of African foreign debts. What has your loans done for Africa, how has it put to good use?

  10. The presidents from 53 African countries are sitting together sharing cooperation and development assembly in Beijing China . This is exclusive glory events, this is China Power Showcase in African continent.

  11. China is a catalyst to global economic cooperation development growth peace diplomacy. China is a blessing and benefactor to the world. Africa is not dark but darkened by colonisation and poselytisation. Africa must return back to native purity 👍♥️🇨🇳

  12. So what happens to citizens of China that May be below poverty line, thinking through all this money that flows into international loans but doesn’t get spent on social benefits. Not to mention Beijing raising retirement age also now

  13. Every nation require repayment at a given interest rate. China charges an absurdly low rate and unlike the west, they don'y overthrow governments while "aiding" them. This broadcast seems to have a bias. Africa produces so little of interest to the rest of the world, of course there is a trade deficite. Too bad Quatar is owned by the US, this could have been a great topic.

  14. China is not colonising Africa. China help Africa grow. The voice that says those things is just speaking western views as those western countries have a plan to make everyone in Africa poor. Prove is seen everywhere. China has built real infrastructure that most African use to this date, unlike western who came to Africa over 100 years back, but all they did and still do is looting, killing Africa as they kill flies as they normally say. China has not done any of those things and doesn't impose its laws on Africa either, the practice common with western countries

  15. China is not worried, Africa is not concerned. AJ English is worried, bashing around telling lies. Your hypocrisy is unbelievable. Journalists like you are puppets of the west propaganda

  16. Actually its game over for the colonial west and warmonger US that have always acquired western resources for peanuts. China is providing a win win cooperation without internal interferences and lectures.

  17. I believe that China's aid to Africa is not selfless, and China also needs to make money from Africa, but the cooperation between China and African countries is equal. China respects the people and sovereignty of African countries, and China is willing to develop and progress with African countries instead of abusing and colonizing Africa like western countries.
