African governments welcome Chinese electric vehicle imports, production amid looming trade war 

Buy expensive car from Europe is a smart move while buying cheap from China is a debt trap 😅

Half the price, perhaps. But better? No way. I have tested several electric cars and the Chinese ones are definitely lesser in quality, much more plastic etc.

@@Jonipoon 说来听听你怎么测试呢，什么车？

@@jackychen5578 I've tested Byd, Ora and Xpeng, and I've tested Tesla, Polestar and Volkswagen's electric vehicles. Even Chinese citizens themselves prefer western brands because of their higher quality, what do you want to discuss?

@@Jonipoon I think no one will agree with you now. If it was ten years ago, I would agree with you. The quality of European brands at 50,000 euros is good enough, while the same Chinese products at 30,000 euros can reach the same quality.

Hope they reversed engineer the tech and build their own.

US and their western allies are doing their best to make sure China cannot help lifted Afericans from poverty.

Chinese EVs and BRI infrastructure can make that happen. EVs can be powered by inexpensive local solar power, rather than increasingly expensive gasoline, and China builds infrastructure that generates long term economic growth.

​@@xcx23cwea65 I hope the Africans can move to live in North America where land and natural resources are plenty, the same reason people from Europe went to live there.

@@xcx23cwea65 They they don't have to reverse engineer it. China is sharing alot of the tech so they can service it moving forward. R&D will be sitll chinese until the Africans are ready. Let's hope the west doesn't cause any civil war on the continent as they have done before.

But CNA likes to report how Africa is being exploited by China. How you feel about that?

Beware..its not what you think.

Solar energy as well. In the US, our solar subsidies are higher than the unsubsidized price of panels in China, and we still pay three times as much after subsidies. The cost of protectionism is more than the benefit. We could see some communities in Africa leapfrog on renewable energy and EV's.

so?

Keep dreaming🤣🤣

It's not a bed of roses. There will be a catch going down the road.

In Africa?

BYD RVs has lots of battery issues, self immolation issues, brake issues ... be careful!!

Australia's import of Chinese auto down by 20% in June.

China built a high speed railway for Indonesia and gave them the technology to build more lines and trains They are also sharing the samples they got from the farside of the moon which will have Helium-3 in it. As Helium-3 as a fuel for Fusion reactors can power the world for 10,000 years and will power space ships to explore the solar system and beyond

@@AlhasanBah - mining has to be controlled. Would you prefer to let the west mine the copper and take them away or African government control the mining?

@@eskay2012 Africa should mine and ask China for technology so that Africa can also refine it's own mineral. This will keep most of the mining profit in Arica, and I think China will do it.

No raw material export. 18 May 2024 , Mali's economy minister said earlier this week that the deal could bring Mali $191.5 1 million per year. Ganfeng Lithium will set up a spodumene plant which will start production by the end of the year. Mali's share in the Goulamina project 35% , Chinese pay for all tech investments. 'Win-win agreement' "With this win-win agreement, which defends the vital interests of the Malian people, the State of Mali enters into a new partnership with the Chinese group Ganfeng Lithium Co for the development and operation of the Goulamina lithium project," the statement said.

Africa one day will also be a super power. I cant wait.

Tanzania's electrification rate is only 40%. It's already difficult to build out EV charging infrastructure and enough power in regions with 100% electrific rate. This isn't necessarily helping.

@@tooltalk a new need for increasing the rate 🙂

CNA is not a western TV station. It is Asian.

😆 Cable News America

The West believes that Africa belongs to them, due to the foolish African leaders supporting them.

They are jealous

They are falling into western divide with help of the Chinese and rest of the Asia, what are you thinking? 😂

@@freeflowtrader Change your username because you are supporting protection policies of the west kinda funny don't you think

😂😂😂

For africa, its never too late to be aware of western hegemony and its devious propagandas. Its conquer and divide is coming to an end. China/BRICS will put Africa on the world map again.

The biggest concern for Africa is poor governance. It is no secret China is exploiting that. Intentionally exporting poor quality products to Africa, loans to governments with strings, stealing minerals among others.

@@Nicky_TM ARE YOU AN EXPERT ON EVs. OR AS WE SAY IN MY COUNTRY YOU ARE ONLY PARROTING WHAT YOU HEAR. IT APPEARS YOU ARE ONLY PARROTING.

​@@Nicky_TM没有使用你从何得来的结论？你的发言充满偏见，2023年中国汽车出口世界第一，你又得到了多少负面消息？？？可笑！

-Iraq was an unjustified war of aggression by USA, there is no doubt about that. -Libya was a United Nations sanctioned action taken at the direct request of The Arab League and Lebanon. The UN security council approved the action, neither Russia nor China voted against. Western countries supplied the muscle, mostly France and a few Nordic countries. -Syria was/is a civil war started by the Syrian people. The main belligerents in Syria were/are the Syrian government, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the US, in addition to a number of armed groups. Of the three you mention, Libya is perhaps the best example of how the Rules-Based Order can function.

Singapore already has very high almost prohibitive tariffs on ICE cars. May be they can lower some for EV cars.

​@@thecomment9489you are lying 😂😅

Singapore is a chinese enclave

Evs has so many problems like battery pack caught itself on fire while in park, battery pack draining while in park especially in cold weather, chargers freezing up during subzero temperatures, slow charging especially when using multiple chargers at the same time unlike pumps gas stations, range anxiety, high cost of battery pack replacement, etc. Evs is not the future for a varieties reasons that's why Elon is beginning to transition from evs to hydrogen cars in coming years from now.

@@Kingofthehill84 Your impression of EVs lighting up themselves mainly came from the older generation batteries, the new LFP batteries used by Chinese EVs no longer do that. You can even penetrate the battery and it will not light up.

But one can't blame for the sour grapes and tinted message by the Channel News America (CNA) when reporting on EVs from China, because after all it works for the interests of America, who happened not to be able to produce any EVs except for Tesla, which managed to do that only after it was granted a huge factory in Shanghai, China.

Most lithium ion batteries in use today were developed 20-25 years ago and they are still just barely suitable enough to power low-range small EVs. Any new product in the automtive world has to be tested/certified for safety which can take anywhere between 2-3 years, among many other things, before they can ever be driven on the road. That's in addition to the development time and time to mass production and commercialization, etc..

I still shoot on film , think Kodak got undone a while ago by Fuji , but Kodak still going , Portra film is highly regarded.

@@resnica3557 people mocking china for low quality products. and forgetting that iphone is made in china. it not china cannot produce good quality, is how much you willing to pay for said quality.

Oil price going down and the relevance of oil exporters like Russia, middle east fade would be s good thing.

The Philippines won't get it because they picked Marcos who must follow America against China.

Indjan only sucks and does not help African countries like China.

India with a larger workforce, younger workforce and lower wages Has a 100 billion USD a year trade deficit with China

China actually produces physical goods. India provides services for Western companies so basically coolies for the West.

We've seen this rodeo before: previously by the Western colonizers. The Chinese are going to exploit Africa's resources, sell expensive vanity infrastructure projects, and saddle African countries' finance with debts they could never repay.

@@Gow27657 >> China actually produces physical goods

Nooo

And Japan.

Chinese products have shot lives 😂 and quality problems.

U$A already did it, taking apart a BYD. with conclusion it will cost 5X to build a BYD , if every parts build in U$A.

@@happymelon7129 : BYD bad quality.

@@happymelon7129: BYD quality is bad , cars won’t last .

Western consumers have the enormous spending power, which African market don't have. China won't achieve anything significantly profitable, unless it makes a deal with the west.

This strategy didn't quite work out for Pakistan and Sri Lanka before! It just resulted in them getting mired in debt and forced to rely on handouts from the IMF for their very survival.

@@jarjarbinks3193 When SL was in trouble, only 10% of her debt was owed to China. Pakistan has a debt problem but not a Chinese debt problem.

Good all the best but own manufacturing only develop country

This is the cold war redux -- been there done that before the Berlin Wall collapsed and Mao starved 60 millions Chinese peasants to death.

@@jarjarbinks3193 Yep, this is China's BRI myth and credibility problem. We've seen this rodeo before and there are skeletons piling up in Xi's closet.

Neither will the Europeans, they work together.

Forget about the CIA/NED not liking this, the editorial board of CNA is not going to like this too. This must have have slipped through the review process or just that the story was too big to ignore.

The color is painted to the importers' order.

Isn't black color absorb heat while white color reflects heat ?

more China nitpicking? It looks like it is tinted windows not paint. If you know anything about supply chain in China, you can basically order anything you want if you are willing to pay. Besides it is up to the buyers to order whatever color they wanted. Paint is cheap.

Welcome to Africa, China!

Yes thanks to your great grandparents for the confusion.

Yes, vast opportunities there in African countries. The US and its allies market are on the decline 😂.

Does Singapore produce cars. Never heard of Singaporean car brand 😅😂

If Xiaomi can produce, creative also can. ​@@amirism91

@@amirism91 Nope there is hardly any manufacturing in Singapore. It has neither resources nor the land for setting up factories. It is mostly a financial services centre and that's one reason for it's prosperity. Other major sector is transit shipping hub.

Financial services make more money than manufacturing. Like C O E

It's obviously scripted. Probably gave the driver 10 bucks to do that scene.

Ok, so it wasn't just my eyes playing tricks.

EVs do just fine with local distributed power, especially with swappable batteries. In Africa, it's easy to import a container of solar panels and electric trikes and you get a self-contained village transportation system.

有需求就会又发展，电有需求就会发展电，发展电就会发展其他行业。

they are. but the west keeps screaming 'debt trap'.

Just search top two and three wheeler vehicle market share companies in Africa. 🙄 your next 7 generations will be crying after that.

Indian is basically unable to make 4 wheel electric passenger vehicles at any sort of scale. They do have, and make, many electric mopeds and 3 wheelers such as you see in the video, but not enough to supply India itself. China makes enough electric vehicles of all kinds, from mopeds to passenger cars, to buses and commercial vehicles, to supply not only its domestic market, but also for export.

I guess you will be the last man standing who haven’t bought a BYD😅

There is no copy...a three-wheeler looks like a 3-wheeler....what's your problem?

India number 1

fact is very important to know most of the third world countries are under paid and cant afford expensive stuff

That's why they are in india instead of africa

​@@user-eq9fy6qu6v they are in all over the world bro from South East Asia to Africa to South America. Just search about BAJAJ, TVS and HERO.

​@@user-eq9fy6qu6vyou should have atleast checked market share of Indian companies like TVS and Bajaj in Africa 😂

Copper mining are literally destroyed the environment so is the rest of mining for EV components 😅😂

@@Kingofthehill84sodium batteries will change this soon.

Shorter life span is unlikely - BYD's 1st gen E6 taxis were getting 750,000 km on their original battery packs!

Not environmentally better

@@nesieb6685 Broadly speaking, EVs are actually significantly better than their gasoline alternatives, to say nothing of diesel. A gasoline or diesel engine inherently creates a lot of tailpipe pollution via exhaust, along with waste heat and noise, and the overall energy efficiency is only around 30% (somewhat higher for diesel). This is especially apparent as a pedestrian in an urban environment, where you can literally feel the heat from large diesel bus radiators as they idle. EVs generate zero tailpipe emissions, and are far more energy efficient. They are as clean as the local electrical generation, which can be charged by solar for many residential owners. In places like China, the rapid transition to renewable and nuclear energy makes their power much cleaner. As for battery materials, the latest sodium batteries have far less mining that older lithium batteries. Regardless, batteries are only assembled once, whereas oil must be continuously produced and refined to produce gasoline. To date, those batteries are showing lifespans of 750,000+ km in BYD's 1st gen taxis, which is 2 to 3 times farther than a typical gasoline car is driven. If one is serious about the environment, transition to EVs produces obvious benefits.

@@happymelon7129 wow nice And Indonesia is increasing tarrifs in China too Well done Indonesia

That is short term thinking. When you think longer term, it all makes sense.

The global reality is that America and the EU are closed, shrinking, saturated car markets, whereas Africa and LatAm have open and growing car markets. China will do fine selling to everybody except America and the EU, although the EU needs to accept Chinese EVs, or China will simply ban EU-made gas cars and destroy the German auto manufacturing industry.

What are you talking about? EU is the biggest export market for Chinese EVs.

Again trolling nonsense lol
