This Asian guy can get away with saying things a white guy could never say, or RU-vid would have banned him instantly. But because he's a so-called "person of color" he can say things that would have been labelled "racist" in the mouth of a caucasian. Years ago the travel writings of V.S. Naipaul and his novel "A Bend in the River" were controversial, because as an Indian he could tell the truth about current day Africa; things that a "white" commentator couldn't get away with.
Ngl Eddy seems like a well educated man, just judging from how he speaks three (maybe four) languages quite well. It's probably that making Lao hang out with him and respect him somewhat.
It would be interesting to know what happened to this man being that he was so naive and ignorant that he didn’t realize he was being filmed for a western propaganda mockumentary to show how “exploitative” the Chinese are and backwards Africans are. The lack of diametric and historical analysis among some Chinese is a error the CPC should fix.
The times when he was giving orders or pointing out issues and they're just standing there with a dead stare, not understanding anything... This man must have been fuming every single solitary second he spent there. It's similar to being part of a group project in school and you have to do the work for everyone because nobody else cares.
ill say this about the chinese.. when they have to be, THEY HAVE NOOOOO CHILL.. and he was absolutely right about these people.. the congolese guy is pissed because its not a white guy he casn beat to death with a club for calling him out on his peoples lazy bullshit the look on that black dudes face says it all. chinese dude putting too much faith in people who dont want to earn anything, they just steal it or destroy it if they cant have it for free
it has been well over 50 years after the belgians were driven out, but they have built nothing of their own. simply coasted off the work of other countries and welfare. if this isn't a troll, or satire, i feel very sorry for your future gene pool
It seems like the Europeans broke the spirit of Africans and destroyed their history, destroyed their culture, and religion, that's why Africans have gone haywire. Africans have gone haywire because they don't have anyone to look up to. This is because Belgians erased their history and historical figures. If Congolese don't know where they came from, how will they know where to go?
What history? They have none. Whatever little infra the colonizers built, they tore it apart. You can't do anything in the rural and suburbs of these countries, which Is like 99% of them all. Stealing and robbery is the culture and sadly the colonizers couldn't get rid of it
East Asians don't hold bars, they'll say the negative stuff they see on your people. In my country, I've heard some Japanese who also pointed out problems with our ethics. 😅
Racists in the comments are terrible and they don't understand the experience of being an immigrant or even a second-class citizen in your own country. They are screwing over the black people HARD. They literally treat them like trash. Not good.
I think Africa should be abandoned entirely because the people there are 50 to 30,000 years behind the developed world. They have been this way for 10,000 years & for another 10,000 years they will remain. There is no solution to a problem that isn’t plausible. The plausibility of Africa developing into anything advanced within our life time is not something you should entertain because it is a fantasy to believe.
I can't stand the thought that many of them are now sailing to Europe. And Europe accepts this like it was a normal thing. Soon we will be supporting them 🤔😳
Honestly it must be really hard for these Chinese guys to see all of the European innovations left to rot and rust in complete squalor. It's almost foreshadowing to what will happen to their own efforts out there.
Despite his attempts at finding excuses for his country, gotta respect his assistant. He fluently speaks English, French, Chinese, and probably a local dialect, plus running around doing errands for his boss and working day to day on construction sites . Probably why the Chinese guy is so harsh on him, he recognizes his qualities, but like an asian parent he only knows tough love (with a superiority complex, gotta admit).
The Chinese are learning what Europeans learned in the 19th/20th centuries. The big question is: will China eventually end up like 21C Europe? We can assume not, but then again nobody who knew 19C/20C European attitudes would ever have expected Europe to end up like it is today...
I have lived in Japan but one thing l admired from them is the great maintenance culture. They look after everything they own so well from cars etc. imagine the cars they have driven over 15 years arrive in Africa looking brand new.
"... the Listian way is the only way." I've been saying this for over four decades. It's about time we had a List revival to challenge the Free Trade hegemony that is impoverishing so many countries in the world.
I love how honest he is with the students and talks to them like adults. And they seem so interested and listen intently after asking great questions. So refreshing to see.
Go dig a Well in Africa. An hour after you leave, the local Landlord takes the well equipment to flower his plants. Leave your expensive camera in a motel room longer than five minutes? Gone. They're response to stealing your camera, "You should have known better. Why do you tempt us ?".
Nice black countries include Botswana and Rwanda , Kenya is doing some things right maybe Ethiopia at times but otherwise we Africans have to admit it isn’t someone else’s fault and we need to fix our problems and not play the victim. What’s weird is that we Africans hold the highest level of education in America and much of the west .
Allright now that is really confusing. Why does this 17 long minute video has the same comment section as the full movie version on yt while even using a different channel?
China probably has good deal in this for the minerals, but these chinese that have to do this project just waste their life. Ofcourse they get paid, but it must be so much pain to be there. Nothing works, no one tells the truth and project just continues...
The biggest tragedy of Africa was introducing them to European standards of living, which they greatly desire but cannot replicate or maintain themselves
I’ve volunteered in rural areas all over America (especially the southern US and Appalachia) for healthcare. It’s the same thing. You want to do good but these people are just animals. Opioid addicts stealing supplies, running off after a few days, laziness. Such a lack of culture and civilization. Some people are just like that. I don’t believe in stereotypes really but now I understand the ones they have about Americans being fat, addicted to soda, slow. It makes me wonder if there’s a way to only have civilized people in a country.
