The Chinese Automaker Changing the Market in Africa | China/Africa Big Business | ENDEVR Documentary 

I travel in these MiniBus taxis on a daily basis. This mode of transportation is affordable and reliable for smaller nations. I love it.

It is very heartwarming to see Chinese and African brothers smiling and getting along well together ❤️

I’m from kenya, and I love Chinese , hardworking smart people, I will like too see more Chinese business in africa.

I have job in building highway from a Chinese company.Chinese are hardworking people Support from Pakistan!

The West to the developing countries, "Please remain poor, so that your natural resource and services are cheap to me". China to other developing countries, "Let me help you to be rich as well, so that you have the money to buy my product."

Let us not forget Chinese have suffered immensely at the hands of western countries and so they developed an exceptional understanding of the western system extremely well and how to overcome them

The Chinese work ethic has come a very long way. They are now on par if not ahead with modern technology and trends. Very happy to know that China is an integral part of BRICS. It will only bode well for Africa.

Its nice to see companies from other country doing something besides taking resources from african people. I very much appreciate this, especially so as a skilled tradeswoman myself. The projects CHEC is doing is something I wish I had the opportunity to do. I'm glad someone took the initiative.

Hope Africa is getting better and better. We are all living on the same globe. If China can make it, African countries can make it too.

After the big breakup with US at Alaska meeting, China will significantly expand the cooperation with African countries. It's good for both Africa and China.

You can see that these Chinese do not have the feeling of being a proud savior like West when facing Africans. They are just doing business objectively

@8:43, this 60 yo ex-retiree from Nissan has accumulated much valuable experience of the auto industry. His knowledge is the key to QC and design.

500 years of European 'civilization'? Poverty, war lords, famine, pillage. 20 years of Chinese and Russian 'colonialism'? Factories, jobs, cities, highways.

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career. Purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.

Trainning and education are the necessary way to update African working and life situations.

The old guy is right. Chinese car manufacturers are learning fast. I tested a Borgward for a year, driving throughout Europe and they are only 3-5 years behind the big manufacturers when it comes to quality and features. They will catch up soon I am sure. Never met engineers more eager to learn than the Chinese.

The receptionist mandarin is very impressive, well done to her. Bright future ahead ☺☺☺☺☺

First, I must commend China or the Chinese business men who've thought of doing this. Creating and expanding Automotive Businesses all over. This will help both Chinese and Ghana to grow economically, for example. Secondly, it will help the nations to grow and be self-sufficient. All the people who would be unemployed are now busy creating a life for themselves and families. You've chosen well China, and for that I commend you along with those You've put in charge. I like their patience, and mannerism toward the employees. The employees, are very grateful for the opportunity to work with you and your colleagues to better their country. Other developing countries, who are very wealthy could do the same thing, if human conflict weren't standing in their ways. Cingrats to all those who share their great comments on this page. Thank you for doing it, though you did it for yourselves.

Much respect to the Chinese. Thanks for helping the African people. Most High bless!

In US there are alot of black people who are rich and succesful, almost none of them set up business in Africa. But the chinese, they are the one who willing to set business in Africa, open up opportunity for africans in their country.

The CEO nailed it at the beginning when he said people who think Chinese product are "low quality" are incorrect. What people don't understand about economics is that it isn't a question of "Made in China" or anywhere else for that matter as such perceptions used to be popular with Japanese products who were thought of as inferior when Japan began its manufacturing renaissance post world war 2, mainly because they were "cheap". Well things are "cheap" because the market demands low cost products since that is what most people can afford. The same people who complain Chinese products are "low quality" are the same stingy people who refuse to pay a few bucks more for a quality brand made from better materials. Hence "quality" is all a function of price as it always has been, pay more you get more. Period!

chinese cars are doing well around the world. much love and support from guam, USA.

We need to know more about Chinese companies in Africa. Somehow according to west media Chinese companies are having negative impact on Africa, they never mention good things.

This American wishes I could afford to move to China. I see morals and ethics applied to all Chinese endeavors around the world. I wish America acted the same way.

This is how it's done America, it's about the people not the money

I like the Chinese manager he seems fair..I especially respect his comments....where he basically say don't bring your cultural/racist baggage to us we love everybody and we are here to stay and do business

They created thousands of jobs, opportunities for local engineers to learn from the Chinese.

China is a hard worker as well as a hard thinker, not only beneficial for the Chinese people themselves, but also an inspiration for many countries in Asia and Africa. Greetings and support from ASEAN.

I don’t see any American brands, is the same in South America. In conclusion USA is going down big time. I like the China man, they are for business, not for change your religion or mentality or impose their North American way of view things and life

Thank you China. We use the mini busses and they help a lot

An underrated benefit of Chinese investment all across Africa is that once they work it out and the business environment becomes better known, they’ve effectively de-risked investment in Africa. And then additional countries with a suitable risk appetite will invest as well.

we had terrible history with the europeans and it wasn't good. China is our new friend to assist in building Africa as a equal partner.

I love seeing Africans In higher positions within these corporations. This is a Chinese corporation that actually cares about the local population and hires locally.

Look like westerner almost always brings gun, China bring industry n jobs w/c African countries needs most. 👏👏👏

God bless China-Africa trade and brotherhood.

Chinese investors are assisting in the development of Africa. I wish more countries would invest in Africa and help the economy there.

Together China & Africa will be a great union. Always loved Chinese & Japanese culture.

Has anyone noted that when the Europeans coloniser investors go to non European countries, the local staff are expected to speak their language, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish etc. But Chinese companies operating out of China expect their Chinese staff to learn the local language.

Once again a marvellous documentary the truthful relationship between China and Africa. Indeed, I strongly recommend to produce a documentary correlated with african students, studying online in chinise universities. Kind regards from Cape Verde islands.

I love you more and more China of what you are doing in Africa and helping its people out of poverty. God bless you China

This is mutual respect.

Well done China! Respect is the keyword... The west don't even do that!!!

This is true partnership... Well done

Chinese auto industry will improve. We all remember the quality of South Korean cars when they were first introduced into the market in the 1980's. For example, the PONY car of Hyundai was very quality, but Hyundai had improved tremendously and today, Hyundai make great cars.

win-win for everyone, friendship, businesses.... better than conflicts

@14:25 that lion dance scene means so much. There are no lions in China. In the 1400s, Admiral Zheng He's fleet sailed all the way to Africa and formed diplomatic ties. They brought a couple of lions back to China to present to the Emperor, and there you have it.

This honestly changed my perspective about China as a Westerner. Yes, I know its for profit... but still

Chinese cars doing good in Australia too. I hope Chinese will start making cars in Australia.

chinese companies have different philosophy than many other western companies. And they respect and value their workers!

I love China 🇨🇳and their people

😀 ❤Africa 🌍. Anything good 👍 👏 👌. Thank you China 🇨🇳 🙏.

South Africa was one of the most beautiful countries Ive visited ( back in 2003) . So many natural fantastic sites. What she need is good governance.

China is the best partner! Love from Brazil 😄✊🇧🇷🇨🇳🌍.

@6:41, this woman is smart, diligent, and prescient. She will move up fast in BAW; I predict she will be part of the BAW management, soon.

China do business..the West do war...🤣🤣🤣

I like this.... it's china we missing to see job creation for the locals I really like it

Africa has a future. They've been poor and struggling and has eager for a good future. A lot of them are even studying in the US now.

There are of course drawbacks in any decision you made, however, if you put aside cynical remarks as nothing is perfect, China provides better, faster, cheaper and workable option.

The quality of Chinese cars is getting better and better

State of the art factory! Chinese technology at its best!

China very well knows how to do things right. Peacefully and smartly. And their business strategies always work. Well do me

@1:29, “it is estimated 60% of South Africans make use of commuter transport...” Evidently, the South Africa under White Rule developed little basic infrastructure. Where did all the collected taxes go? Obviously, the majority South African did not experience much economic benefit under White Rule.

MashaAllah TabarakAllah.... I am very happy that the Chinese government and people help the African people. Only they can help us to evolve and have a better future, because America and Europe only think about our misfortune. Thanks for everything China.🌍🌱♥️

The lady’s Chinese is excellent 👍

Thank you for this production, keep it up.

The next engine of growth is in Africa.

I love that part about European talks about donation but did nothing 😂

China and Africa should forge ahead and expand business opportunities moving forward..farm tools hoes,pangas etc utensils you name it,that my mom bought in the early 70s are Made In China..so the connection comes along way

But also I admire the work they doing.. With some improvements they can compete with Toyota

Nothing wrong with Chinese products that are competitively priced. However, all modern manufacturers need to seriously consider the environment in the process.

China please come to northeast India also👍

China very strong and very good support for country around the world, especially Africa that’s so proud of African people

All intelligent successful business owners work beyond the 'paper' requirements....

A definite thumbs up for this video !

Both Ghana and Nigeria as well as Kenya all produce well made automobiles. In Ghana it's Kantanka. In Kenya it's Mobius, and in Nigeria it's called Innoson. I wonder why we don't hear about these companies? In Nigeria and Ghana the ownership is Ghanaian and Nigeria respectfully. Don't know about Kenya but I believe the owner is Kenyan.

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

better for both sides.. good luck open here in Sri lanka also..Here lot of job less guy are in Sri Lanka

very informative documentary

Great documentary.

I wish they would come and manufacture cars here in Australia, as nobody else does. Not likely, I know, with our government's anti-China stance.

This is quite opposite of what we use to hear about the Chines in Africa. If the leaders engage well, they'll get a good bargain

People criticise China for the BRI, but this project is really difficult to realise and if successful it will bring prosperity to the world, its essential for the development of all the countries where it goes. The reason is China has a big interest that other countries prosper it will insure China prosperity too. It's logical, this is the reason we should not believe the west trying to antagonise China. We must unite to keep the world moving in the right direction.

If some developed countries before only want the agriculture products from your country your ppl can only be farmers forever. But now if you can be trained as an engineer just be quick to learn. Everyone knows the profit difference between a hi-tech product and corns. I strongly believe Africa will stand up one day and get the top of the advanced manufacture.

From my own experience of trying to establish a farm tractor manufacturing facility in various African countries, the bitter lesson is that contrary to what African leaders and politicians say they all prefer importation over local manufacture because importation allows the payment of (commissions) outside the country. Sub-Saharan Africa is falling so far behind even emerging economies that I would argue it is already too late to stop the decline.

This is the type of collaboration that's good for Africa. Next step to move fr assembly to some home grown manufacturing to increase the value chain. Things like body panels can easily be pressed locally.

China is doing great jobs for Africa and the world

Mrs james Anna is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy,...

In the meanwhile America wonders why/how China has become a superpower beloved all over the world...

There are actual ALL AFRICAN AUTOMOBILE companies that are producing vehicles hopefully you can cover that also.

Thank toyota for the technology The engine is a 3rzfe from the previous tacoma/hilux.

Bravo China 🇨🇳

Such hearth-warming story. Hope the world can work together for a better future

We love our Africans family. Don’t let one or two bad apples dictate our relationship. Continue to build trust and business will take off. As an Asian, I can tell you this...how to make money consists of a specific skin colors . ✊✊🏿✊🏻

I am very happy that our companies invest not only in business but also the local society. But I do not make sure, whether our companies and government understand the meaning of infrastructure and what they are doing to the local region. The infrastructure is not just a business, indeed it is the vital precondition for the growth of one country. Without the infrastructure they absolutely do not need to talk about the development. It is just like the blood artery to the human. So it is absolutely the New Life for this region. We can not do it for everyone. Such project can only be done or created for the country, which makes sense for us. So the question is, what is the return? Only mining? the local government can be changed anytime or per 4 years. How can we protect our interest? it is very tough question, but we must focus on our core interest. Maybe I have lived for too long time in Europe. But I really get such feeling that our companies do not correctly understand the value/meaning of there performance or work to the local region. Nobody else will do it for Africa, but China. But I really think, our companies do not know it!! And our managers are so nice, so fair, even a little bit naive! Only making money through the project is totally cheap price, compared to the meaning of such project to the region. They need to reconsider their strategies again! We don't need to save the whole world, but we need to focus on our interest. No reason to shame on it!

most workers make $800. per month. Works out well for competitive manufacturing. Wonderful place for multinational corporations, save money.

China and Africa forever. 👍

The reason why it hard to get funds from Western countries is because they are democracy countries China is not. When they say we are sending 300 billion is done. In democracy countries it will take months or even years in parliament

Excellent value flow forward thought practice

China's reputation as a country could be much higher.. All the potentials are there

All these Chinese vans look like toyota hiace ! Are they made under license or copied? Just asking I don't hate the Chinese auto industry ! In India, BTW, a truck manufacturer named AMW used the truck cabins provided by FAW motors for a long time! Thank you china !
