  1. Omg when was all Chinese black, I though the Western media said that China only uses Chinese worker brought over from mainland China to work on the project while the locals only stood and watch forever being unskilled

  2. Remember back then during 80s. Some of the Africa country are even richer than China. I hope Africa brother and sister could learn the success of China. Maybe one day we will see a strong and rich Africa continent.
    I wish one day i can purchase lots of product which made in any of Africa country.

  3. France as well as many other imperialist countries exploited Africa. Africa used its gold to buy Franc currency. Can you imagine? Gold for paper that has the perception of being valuable?

  4. Believe are not Africa will be force in the future, rich in minerals and
    Have roads and a modern rail stretching right across the continant right into Saudi Arabia
    From the throght the middle into Turkey and right across Europe as far as Finland and through Russia into China all connected with motorways and modern railway,
    , the world his coming together will be for the good,???

  5. When the West developed its industry, it robbed the whole world for 400 years, when China developed its industry, its people worked very hard and lived in a very poor condition for 2-3 generations in order to save enough capital for developing its industry, if Africans want to develop their industry, just think where they can obtain their initial capital for development, borrowing is the only option. The West is making so many noise when African countries borrow from China just because banks in the West can not play their loan shark role any more.

  6. They call it, "debt-yoke" around Africa's neck. The North Atl. Terror Org. (NATO) bombs bridges, China builds them. You can say, "NO" to debt. NATO imposes their VIOLENCE on you, whether you like it or not.

  7. Fun facts: How China government system works ?

    China is Democratic Centeralism. Which means they hold election, but people can only choose the candidates from CPC (China's Communist Party). So they have democratic election, but limited within a single party.
    So the question is why would they do that? Why didn't they hold multiparty election?
    Because according to them, they represents the power of working class and farmers. If they hold multi-party election, only the rich business men or the bourgeoisie will control the power of the country and make the government work for them ( just like now in the West), bucause the multiparty election needs money to run. Those who have money will have final say in the affairs of the state eventually.
    So when they hold election to choose candidates even though they are from the same party, they will make competition in the party. So the candidates who join the election need work hard to improve their abilities in order to get elected by the people just like in the Western democracy.

    So in China or Democratic Centeralism system, they hold election in a local level. Then the officials will get promoted or demoted by their merits and abilities up to the president of the party.

    This Democratic Centeralism will keep the country's ruling power in the hands of the working class, instead of the hands of the greedy corporates or business men. It also ensures that people can choose the best ablest people to lead them with democratic election ( only candidates from a single party). It also ensures the stability and continuity of the country's policy and enable them to draw ( 5 years -10 years or 30 years) long-term plans.

  8. MAKE AFRICA GREAT

    "My Chosen African People Perish Because Of Lack Of Knowledge " so says the Lord God Almighty.

    To day on this very day of the 30th June 2022, as I sit sprawled in an easy calm chair calmly sipping a hot beverage of milked tea with local Maandazi, the local citrus clouds marched with alacrity up on the blue weather skies,and a rebel group of cumulus clouds gathered on the south east as is in jest. Lofty birds were chirruping amicably and joined by the chirping of great insects with the soft brisk winds of change whistling and singing songs of ancient tunes and shuffling through the dancing trees and clanking some old skiff resulting in dead leaves falling off the nearby juggling trees and a soft frisking technical rain coming at an angle and sifting through the scars of the perforated grills as it wet my legs amicably I am left to myself and to wonder and to muse. As I as a black African man who is perishing because of lack of knowledge in industrialization and modern technology.

    Good.
    " Make Africa Great!" Africa is many miles miles away from this classic goal because of lack of knowledge in getting to process the raw materials. So others come to harvest away as we Africans are wasted and perishing away

    Yet " Making Africa Great" the cool dream! Oh how I do wish and hope that we Africans could have a place to sit down and discuss these things. Yet I am persueded that one day this gathering for discussion will be.

    " Making Africa Great!" What a very good dream and a classical vision that truly makes even the spirit within jump with joy, gladness and anticipation. But what are the facts? What does it take to make Africa Great? What is the truth about the matter? My friend it is not a joke! Mountains have to be flattened to make Africa Great. Great stones have to be uprooted in the byprocess.
    During slavery Africans were bundled and forcebly sent away and some of the best minds went with the trans-shipping to the new worlds.

    Yet starting from when we Africa

    then came colonization by the Europeans. The Europeans were not interested in getting the Africans the knowledge of industrialization nor of manufacturing. To them Europeans getting raw materials and resources from Africa to their countries made them make railways to facilitate in getting their goods easily to the coast for to transport away. And the Africans were made to believe that schooling to get employment was the key and so we're programmed to be book- worms but not think outside the box.

    The British were good in giving education to the African citizens, so when they left after independence there were clerks, teachers, managers etc

    The French came next for they tried to make the Africans more like the French as a result when they left out of the 22 Francophone African counties 2 chose to have nothing to do with the French and the French retaliated destroying everything and taking away with them even their dead men and women, for the 20 other Franco phone African countries, France made them sign a pack " continuation of colonization and sadly to say that 85% of the annual gross income of these countries even today still goes to France. France milking, symphoning and taking away without shame from the shackles of the poverty stricken Africans.

    The Dutch were the worst who went as far as cutting the limbs of the African citizens in sports.

    To this day the African citizens still have NO knowledge of how to getting the raw minerals into manufacturing. Extraction of only Raw materials without manufacturing does NOT get anybody anywhere.

    Africa needs to get into manufacturing to make it globally. Knowledge is power, to give just one major example: their is alot of natural Gass in the continent of Africa yet because of lack of knowledge the Gass is left unutilized and folks use firewood.

    Unless God comes and rescues the African giving them knowledge of manufacturing and industrialization, for a truth we are doomed for lack of knowledge.

    What will we do to get this very important information and knowledge? To utilize our own resources currently the taxes that Africa gets when the Europeans come to harvest our raw materials is very very small, otherwise Africa gets almost nothing when their raw materials are harvested all profits goes to the Europeans. Even to this very day as I sit sprawled out on my varendah and surely wasting away.

    We are a long way from making Africa great, there are gross mountains and raging rivers to cross before Africa is made great.

    Priorities first is to get the knowledge of industrialization, modern manufacturing and stepping out from being just producers of raw materials. Then African citizens from other African countries must do sells and businesses among themselves, support one another in times of hardships and strife. And call each other brothers and sisters regardless of boundaries made by them Europeans.

    Then when that day will come with the winds of change from the north, south, east and west will blow singing one ancient African folks song passed on down millenniums then African will join hands in celebration and in singing the song " We have overcome this day. And all those from the diaspora joining in as we clasp our hands in an embrass. Amen.

  9. Well done China. China didnt start to provide assistance to Africa just decades ago. Even during the time of Chairman Mao despite being a poor country then, China helped to build the 1860km Tanzania Zambia or TAZARA railway which was opened in 1975. This showed China's sincerity then as while they need to develop the money to develop their country, they helped other countries because the other countries need the assistance more than them at that time. Almost 1/2 a century on China continues to help Africa and other countries. Of course its understandable for distractors like US and EU countries to paint a negative picture even when in the first place they were the colonizers of Africa for several centuries. They kill Africans, steal their natural resources and now they have the cheek to say China want to confiscate lands in exchange of debts. Isnt that ironic? China just continue to good deeds as usual

  10. China have went from building in China when the economy falters to building elsewhere, having half the worlds cranes in China to building in Africa. They/China have even a stake in HS2 in the UK.🎋

  11. As a chinese, I think/wish all the undeveloped countries to become rich and advanced ,the world will be better and more beautiful and more peaceful , the world should not be dominating by the US and the EU.The world should be more balanced.

  12. Good documentary about China improving African countries and developing locals. Refreshing to hear locals expressing themselves in their languages. FF to 11:00 in SA, then it's the private education benefitting Chinese students with no signs of the locals. Years back it cost around 500K ZAR annually to train as a pilot. We then wonder why certain world icons get to be regarded as sellouts by a growingly frustrated majority that continue to wallow in poverty amid the world's largest inequality gap.

  13. The western nations colonies Africa, slave their people, China itself is a developing nation, even they're the 2nd biggest economy in the world, China is here to help the African continent.

  14. US Bombs is a bigger force that changes any country instantly…
    Take the case of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria.. They were bombed by USA and left people dead, families separated and children orphaned.
    You small fry countries taking Chinese Money to develop your country must twice again, or USA will bomb you to dust like Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan…

  15. An example what really happened: The Sri Lankan government itself sought out loans for the port and benefits from its development. Prime Minister Rajapaksa and other officials after him declared that the development of Hambantota was not a Chinese proposal but rather a request from the Sri Lankan government. Sri Lanka had initially approached the United States and India, who both refused, citing economic viability concerns confirmed by feasibility studies.

  16. china dont have money africa have way more money than china even when the chinese have being stealing africas resources. the truth of the matter is the africans dont understand what the true intensions of the chinese is
