China's Rush Into Africa, Explained. 

Debt trap

:'(

You i feel sad for africa and how much its going through well because of china always thinking of expansion

Being in loan is better option for africa than Bombing cities and civilian in name of democracy ?

Tayo I love your travel stories...glad to find you on this channel..keep the good you are doing..

@Joey Harper The Chinese are learning fast. They must have been watching the Americans and getting ideas.

Nah, they just pay their debts using their huge tool in the pants. The Chinese will go crazy for it.

​@Joey Harper yeah, and you sound extremely have no idea what that sentences means. or you just playing fool when chocked.

​@Joey Harper Yeah indeed, english is the 3th language I learned. I dont care how good or bad it was, I dont rely on that to earning a living. Did you make a wealthy life with your english?

First, we leased this port, not through aggression or unequal treaties. Second, we will build this port and improve the port’s infrastructure for free, which means that when we return the port to this country, it will be a usable port, rather than a "disused port." Third, this is a completely voluntary and equal transaction. There is no persecution by one party on the other. Fourth, we will not bomb you with our allies because you do not sell me oil.

But aayega to Modi hi!!

Oh god

How about the strings attached to this free video?

Well said. The west has never cared for the welfare for other countries or its people. It’s always had agendas even before the rise of Russia and China. Only now this “concern” for Chinese expansion is a last ditch and desperate effort to hold onto what little power they have left. Honestly I feel China as a world power might be a nice change. At least they don’t go around invading countries for oil. Fuck USA.

@@hihihui1 Haha..will see. It doesn't seem like you've ever been to China, or know much about its politics really.

@@joemam12 All I know is they’re not as aggressive as the US. When was the last time China aggressively invaded another country under false pretences and word fucked it so it sounded justified? Like I said happy with a change.

You rather they ignore it? Even if it's shallow and fake it's better than nothing. Man 1: "Aww, you idiot, you fell in the quicksand. Gimme your hand before you drown and get me in trouble." Man 2: "No, I don't want your help. You don't really care about me."

@@hihihui1 Lol..they just militarized the whole South China sea, relentless provocations against all nations in the seas around them, threaten Taiwan with war almost on a weekly basis, and rekindled the conflict with India (where people died) just last year--not to mention what it's done to its own people. Is it as bad as the US invasions, no. But this situation isn't a "I like China" vs "I like the US" predicament. Both are quite flawed, but also have positives IMO. And if you take the position of "Country A: Good,, Country B: Bad", you're seriously missing so much about geopolitical dynamics.

As a South African, the positive change from partnerships with China can easily be seen. But whenever African countries deal with the West, they're usually just left with massive deebt.

The best part is, the Chinese is doing exactly what the western world did. But better at doing it

Same thing British empire did with know Nigeria.

The difference is that Britain got that one by using weapons, not by debt trapping.

Heck the US did this to Colombia as well. they funded a separatist movement in Panama which 130 yrs ago was part of Colombia, the rebels decided to revolt and demanded the province of panama become a sovereign nation which of course the US supported that decision. In return they offer Colombia some tiny islands off the coast of Nicaragua (which in those days was not liking the USA ways of doing business) they proceeded to built the canal and told panama they will own it for 99 yrs as well, The rest is history.

as a srilankan i am very unhappy about that too

well there werent that many countries left to build diplomatic ties with so they had to do it with africa

Andong How's it goin u legend

Really easy to play the long game when you're a dictatorship

wait what? its mindblowing

hmmmm "strategic diplomacy" in the poorest parts of the world? where there were flourishing liberation, anti-apartheid, and anti-colonial movements? guys im starting to think this chairman mao guy was a maoist.

I am Not an African...but I feel Africa needs these big projects BUT also needs to check the Mountain high debt. Only solution is don't start new projects...instead After completion of current projects Try hard to pay back all the loans. But building Infrastructure is better than Destroying it (wink wink USA)

well it is good cuz usa also would get involved, u could use them both as money printer, just like when the world use usa and soviet as money printer in cold war era, they poured so much money to gain influence

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-28fIOlGW4gI.html

Finally someone read my mind, US is getting stupider and only focus on some problems in the world and distracted by their own issues, lol it’s so easy for me to see desperate people gel for each other, Most African Countries are desperate for help because they’re poor and China desperate to spread their power because they have money, I can predict all this things cause it’s so easy, and US is racist enough to not help African Countries at all, and this is why everything happened like how it is, I knew long ago debt will be Chinas Weapon, their main goal are easy to see, they want to be the world’s super power along with Russia and spreading communism, if they can advance to Africa, geogically its close to the US, and Europe, and to surround them, while US military only go around the Ocean, US don’t think about The Land like South America and Africa Continents where enemies can go close to the Western Countries, While Russia Surrounding Europe and US from the North and Continent of South America, Russia and China trying to control these land to get back at the US, they can build a nuclear missile in Africa/South America close enough to hit these western countries, not because China just is rich, The pandemic really is a distraction of the bigger picture of what is happening in China and by the way don’t be RACIST because I say all of these Ok. Chinese governments and Russian Governments are the one who did these not the people

@@tanweeralam1650 Africa need these infrastructures. With AI coming & a large young population, the manufacturing transfers from East Asia to Africa may not materialize. Doing nothing is the worst option.

I'm not even taking if the top dogs will let the power shift from their hands into consideration. There ain't gonna be a nuclear war but things are gonna get really dirty and I'm overlooking climate change.

At least the way China provides cooperation to Africa is fair and open. African people have the right to choose to agree or disagree. China has never aimed at you with an airplane or cannon like Western countries, and then tells you that you can choose to agree or disagree.

@@vibez2806 is this a joke?

@@vibez2806 i hate china's political system as much as anyone does but in terms of relationships with African countries, China is miiiiiles better for now 1: they didn't kill any democratically elected leaders to replace them with dictators unlike the CIA has done in Congo in the 60s 2: their projects are actually well thought out and don't seem to be as harmful as some of the amazingly destructive hydroelectricity projects of Hydro-Québec International in senegal for example tl:dr while it's still early to say whether or not China being here is a good thing for africans (there's a good chance it will just make them more reliant on foreign countries than they already are which is a bad thing) it's still miles better than what the US has done

10% is still a HUGE amount to owe to a country on the other side of the planet. NO country does things purely for the other's benefit. Especially China It's like you people plugged your ears the whole video. China uses debt to coerce and blackmail countries into giving up information, taking certain positions in the UN, and publicly defending China in order to make China seem less evil in the world's eyes. They take natural resources and ocean docks. It's disgusting. It's turning African countries into slave countries, just like Europe did in the 1800's

The real story about USA and British colonization when they came in they killed millions of people and they turn people into criminals warlords and Slavery's. You're just like them do not announce the help but wants to benefit from it. Maybe USA and British has a better way of giving gifts through slavery.

Africa has been looted without any infrastructure or growth by others. And China doesn’t obligate the countries to take debts. The main african’s debts does not to China. How can Africa grow then?

Its the dumbest thing I ever heard. I thought African leaders would be more critical on the issue. The EU parliament was built by Europeans so why would African leaders think the AU building should be built by a foreign power,,,as a gift??

I don't think the US does the same. The US would be a bit more subtle; if they needed to spy on someone they would send a CIA agent.

It's literally their job. My dad's a network systems engineer. This is literally what they do.

@@mnorth1351 The US does this, but if they wanted to spy on one of these nations they wouldn’t have a server connect to the US directly, they would have it connect to a local proxy first. It shifts the blame if they get caught and it looks less suspicious. The US military builds infrastructure in other countries all the time, and the CIA has setup front businesses in other countries just to have a foothold in order to run espionage rings. That’s nothing compared to Russian/Soviet espionage though. Russia has always run circles around the US when it comes to espionage, but we will see if that’s still true in 50 years when espionage campaigns get declassified. Now that espionage has become so tied to hacking it is really a matter of who is willing to throw the most money at the problem. Look at stuxnet. An attack that was almost certainly a joint operation between the CIA and Israeli intelligence.

Whatever their agenda is, at least China is helping in building Africa. Not like other countries who colonize poor countries and exploit their resources. Including human resources, by "SELLING" them as "SLAVE" (Just look at the entire history of Great America) This video is created out of extreme "jealousy". Definitely an American Jealousy.

It is more like a student loan rather than a credit card debt. The debts are not for some entertainment purpose. The debt are for infrastructure development, which is essential for local people to get rid of poverty. Yes, the goverment offer you a student loan to help you learn new skills so they can collect more tax from you in the end. But, IT'S A WIN-WIN.

@@xlli4276 Yeah I really wouldn't call this a win-win, so much as a win- not immediately lose. China definitely wins by holding leverage over these nations but these nations won't be winning in the future. Sure they get shiny new infrastructure but that infrastructure isn't really solving the big issues these countries are facing while simultaneously putting them into deep debt. China is basically doing everything the US has been doing for the past 70 years while simultaneously criticizing them for their international policy. They are easily the most hypocritical nation on earth, right up there with the US.

Very well said! Falling into the debt trap is definitely the last thing that China wants to see happens on those countries. But there is a potential drawback. As the ecnomical tie between China and Africa gets stabler, the racial tension between two peoples will emerge since the human resources are more frequently exchanged. This is something that non-Chinese usually can't see. Chinese society is very conservative in terms of racial equality.

Thank you, an honest analysis unlike some stupid Westerners who demonize China and ignore that French, British and American foriegn policy is worse than what they try to paint China as. Some of them seem to forget that the IMF and World Bank require countries to privatize and pass austerity measures and when America doesn't like a leader they overthrow them or kill them off including the democratically elected ones such as Zelaya in Honduras in 2009. Then there's France that basically controls some African countries' currencies.

@@hlgstowig9405 it literally doesn't matter. if the valuation of products are identical and the buying power is the same then the actual comparative value of nominal quantities of different currencies means absolutely nothing. if it costs $6 CAD or AUD to buy something thats $4 USD or 3 GBP or EUR, in each respective country and $6 CAD/AUD = $4 USD = 3 GBP/EUR, everyone is paying exactly the same price and the currencies and goods will continue to be interchangeable relative to its international value. if the average australian makes $90,000 AUD / year and the average american makes $30,000 USD a year when the currencies are $6 AUD = $4 USD, the average australian is making 2.2x more money than the average american. if things cost 2.2x more in australia, then the spending power of the australian will be the same as the american. P.S. i originally wanted to use $60,000 AUD as an easy in your head comparison, knowing it was slightly low, and $30,000 USD thinking it would be extremely low, then i checked and the australian salary is actually $90,000 and the us salary was pretty much correct. americans are just poor lol. also the exchange rate i used was slightly off because i was using pre covid numbers. its actually $6 AUD to $4.6 USD. i dont think things are 2.2x as expensive in australia as america (they are more expensive, just not 2.2x) so the buying power in australia is higher than america, irrespective of the value of the currency. that means an australian travelling to america with his AUD will be able to buy a lot more than an american travelling to australia with their USD.
