..here comes the new boss…just like the old boss….these parasite nations need to be shaken off…let them feed off each other…how many ciountries and empires will enrich themselves off the backs of Africa till we choke off the food?
China is doing trade not aid. This European man is hating on China cause he not getting in on the action. Cause if he was he wouldn't be complaining. You wouldn't hear a peep out of him. China is bringing trade not aid. China ain't doing what the European did for centuries. China ain't coming in with guns blazing, raping, pillaging, killing, and enslaving the people of Africa like European powers did for hundreds of years. European nations are mad cause China got the trade with Africa on lock air tight. China is Africa's number 1 trade partner. And Nigerians are doing trade with China right now. In fact, they got a section of Hong Kong all to themselves. Nigerians are all over Asia. China, Japan, Vietnam India and elsewhere. And also again it's trade, not aid. Otherwise you would hear about uprisings and conflicts: violent ones at that. It would be all over CNN, msnbc, and cspan. Don't believe the hype. Africa ain't about being exploited no more, they not having it, they not. Several African nations took their independence by force and are prospering today. Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, and others. And also if China was colonizing and raping Africa than why does Africa have the 7 fastest growing economies on earth. They have the fastest growing middle-class on earth. Nearly 1 and 3 African people are middle-class class. Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Angola, south Africa, and Mauritius are on a tier right now. African economies are tearing shit up. Nigeria leading the way. Give it up for the motherland.
Thank you! Enough said.
I love arabs and européans telling africans that someone is taking advantage of them…you still have black slaves in mauritania, yemen ; and in all those arabs countries…aljazeera go kill yourself…and if you are black and taking this for thruth kill yourself too….you had ebola..americans send troops…cuba sent help…..

Exactly….The caption wants the masses to think other wise….so they wont read or be interested…..I read between lines ALL the time…
Real, honest question: what do native/indigenous ppl in Kenya/Sudan/S. Africa say about their government officials' greed and (what I perceive) as "sell-outs" to these foreign imperial "super-powers". The articles I had been reading seem to corroborate this video segment. Western super-power envy? Or, a reaction to the threat of Chinese dominance on the global stage? #justcurious

BULLSHIT! This ENTIRE article is false information. China has been doing to Africa what every other country has NOT been doing. They are TRADING with Africa NOT taking over African land. Look at the actual business deal being done. China has INVESTED over $100 BILLION dollars into African land DEVELOPMENT while at the same time allowing Africa to MAINTAIN control of African LAND.
That means, that ANY resources, minerals, gold, diamonds, etc. found in African land REMAINS in the hands of and is the SOLE PROPERTY the African people and government. China is doing nothing more then BUILDING BUSINESSES which increases the VALUE of Africa as well as provides #jobs to millions of African people.
Ya'll on some BULLSHIT with this article. Plain an simple.
glad somebody know….lol
They gonna be sorry
Thanks for typing this because I didn't feel like it. You are absolutely correct!
The guy that mad this article is Jason Moore. Who the heck is he and why would he make a fals article as such. Mr. Moore, get a life and stop making things up…
There needs to be more critical analysis about this situation before judgment. In a way, to do business with the East has been a long hope that even Brother Malcolm talked about in regards to "The Bandung conference" of 1955 (that was originally called the Afro–Asian Conference. Another thing you won't learn ANYTHING about in America). A conference that Black Americans were forbidden to participate in. Writer Richard Wright and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. were the only ones that took the initiative to go. Not to say abuse may not be going on, but trade with the East has always been an objective. Here's Malcolm talking about it – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bei0trSfTgY.
I watched the whole video an I wasn't appalled. Look like fair trade good business trade to me, Jason Moore is a hack writer. Video was old anyway, these are different times.
Now they are trying to come to Jamaica with them bull shit
right on point. they just mad because Africa is bond to overtake the world sooner than they thought
Arcy Sone
That's exactly why both China AND Russia are trying to get in on Africa's 'good side' they know exactly what the African future is going to be an they are trying to get a taste.
They are exploiting africa there is no fair exchange. They flood africa with their cheap goods. Aint no african goods flooding china markets. One way rape.
The West, Russians and now China the value is the same! Who are benefiting from the so called TRADE! Allow the citizens to comment. They are all COLONIALIST arriving in Sheep skin…
The army is not all about guns and shooting they emergency engineers, health workers etc etc. We should be completely objective. Middle East, East and West are all the same. their VALUE IS THE SAME ultimately. By the time we realise the Chinese would have done same as the WEST. In ghana why were they being kicked out, destroying farms, poisoning water bodies and killing natives to take land for illegal mining activities. Locals became prisoners in their own land! Enough wolves pretending to be sheep. Africa will only benefit when we have leaders who think about the true welfare of their people
We should be completely objective. Middle East (Aljazeera inclusive), East and West are all the same. their VALUE IS THE SAME ultimately. By the time we realize what is happening the Chinese would have done same as the WEST did but with a different game plan. In Ghana why were the Chinese kicked out, illegal residents, disobeying local laws, destroying farms, poisoning water bodies and killing natives to take land for illegal mining activities. Locals became prisoners in their own land! Enough of wolves pretending to be sheep. Africa will only benefit when we have leaders who think about the true welfare of their people and trade with Africans instead of these so called helpers.

Oh come on Brother. China is not 'colonizing' Africa. They are creating businesses and jobs. How is this a bad thing?? Africa is so used to being #exploited that we have naturally built up a dis-trust for ANYONE who attempts to do ANYTHING in Africa. We have forgotten that their is a difference between exploitation and BUSINESS. If the Chinese are coming in an putting up all the money to start these businesses and putting up all the money for developing the land. OF COURSE they are going to look for a return on their investment. So, of course, THEY are going to take the lions-share of the profits. No one is going to start up $100 BILLION worth of businesses and then say 'Hey let's split the profits 50/50'. That's not SMART BUSINESS. But to claim that because the Chinese are not 'splitting the profit' they are somehow 'exploiting' Africa is bad information.
Everyone feeds off Africa but Africans….
As a community with money, knowledge, and resources, we should be the trade partner with our family in Africa. But unfortunately, we're not ready or organized to help them. We aren't even helping ourselves here. The good news is it doesn't have to stay this way. We can create opportunities here and in Africa, using the money we're already spending. Black Unity is the solution, 3ufirst.com is the plan.
China has become a capitalistic nation, with a communist ideology. Strange bedfellows, you bet!
Wayne Johnson I want you to have a taste as well we are H.T. A. the finest. …Home to Africa 20 yrs now …
till….
Africa has the fastest growing middle-class on earth. And 7 of the fastest growing economies on earth as well. And Nigerians are in China right now doing business as well as Japan and Vietnam too. So I don't see China as a bandit.
Yeah, they're just doing it the way a corporate raider would on Wall Street. With a nice firm handshake and a loaded bid. The most ruthless deals are always the ones where you actually think you have the upper hand. It's never the Don Corleones who get the best of you when you're too brave to be bullied. It's always the Michael Corleones who with charm and a smile convince you that what they are doing is in your best interest. People forget that Slavery started out as…you guessed it…A TRADE between nations. It wasn't until the enemy gained a foothold that the African Kings saw that it had become a one-way business and not even they were immune to the conquest. By then it was too late. China is a silent dragon skilled in stealth. Only when the dragon whips its tail will its power be truly felt. Believe it or not. Santayana said it best, "Those who choose to forget the past, are condemned to repeat it." Peace out.
Have any of you dealt with the agents of China that they send into Africa and the Carribean,do any of you know how they treat our people,no respect..sometimes,better the devil you know…
Your exactly right, if it was Europeans they wouldn't have said a peep. They are mad because the Africans are not only getting trade but respect as a country that trades instead of just getting aid and then being told for that aid Exxon wants your oilfields etc. etc.. Don't worry, Australia will be next if it isn't already. China needs room and land to grow food and things and Australia only has 22 million people in that whole country.

The real deal? Our people never seem to learn the lessons of the past. And we make the same mistakes wherever we are in the world. In the black communities of America, you have Asians who have become billionaires setting up businesses in our neighborhoods, while most black Americans languish in growing poverty. Since 2008, the black-white income gap has widened to something like whites having 114,000 dollars in disposable income to the blacks 5,000 annually in the same. And yet a diverse group of ethnics, the Asians (Koreans), East Indians, Arabs, are making billions off the black hair care and beauty products industries. That's just ONE economic arena. Forget sports and entertainment. When you allow people who have no interest in your economic security to own the lion's share of businesses in your community, a community they don't live in or socialize in and seldom visit outside of work, and a community they don't invest in other than hiring black fronts or fences to attract black interests and give the appearance of partnership, what do you think they will do? Since 1980 over 28 million new immigrants have been allowed in America. Six million children have been born to them. A majority of these immigrants, Asians, Middle Easterners, East Indians, have planted their businesses solidly in the black communities, pretty much the only place they can get an operating license because it doesn't compete with white businesses in the white communities. We are everyone's cash cow as Claude Anderson outlined in "Black Labor, White Wealth." As these new immigrants enter the country they, being seen as sub-whites or near white, most of them, are given advantages we don't have. Discrimination in lending, institutionally racist credit practices and restricted investment opportunities are a common occurrence with black Americans. We are made to seem like a poor investment, and yet we are the world's biggest consumers. While many immigrants, if not given access to the market place, have back up with either their own home countries pushing them, or their ethnic kin who are already established here, who help them get into businesses of their own, teaching them the tricks of the trade. Meanwhile, none of these franchises are offered to black people whose dollars make these people rich as Chris Rock showed in his documentary "Good Hair." Now, ask why China and every other non-black nation is encouraged to "invest" in Africa, but that same invitation isn't extended to black Americans. Or why is it that black Americans don't actively pursue the same? Why aren't we trading with African nations ourselves? Can it be because we missed our chance to be a sovereign nation within a nation, like the native Americans, capable of trading with other nations as former captives seeking to regain independence? You think we've "overcome"? Lol. Think again!
Watch China in Jamaica Trinidad and Guyana and WAKE UP……The Jamaican yutes ah behead them….figure it out my peoples it is horrible they want the LAND.
no one comes in with guns blazing, thats an old way of thinking, everything is calculated, no one needs to come in with gun if you reach the right deals.
china is building everything because the africans still seem to be in a state of ignorance and corruption, why not take advantage f a people that's still haven't developed anything.
black folks want to believe africa is like the movie Coming to America.
african countries like china because china will build it as long as you give them resources unlike america who don't need those resources.
Evelyn Khelama we don't have the millions to invest in africa so why should they want our business, this is about business and not race loyalty.
we got too many activist and not enough industrialist,engineers,scientist, bankers and investors, same situation here , way too many activist and not enough skills thats really needed.
when you have a weak person you take advantage of them. this is business not I Love You bullshit
when a person invest in you and have paid for everything they are in control, your just a pupet, its the same here when you pour all your money into a politician
the chinese have always been in jamaica.
John Adabie Appiah it don't make a difference, people on here hate america so much they want to blame america for everything, hell bush sent millions to many african countries and people still say he hates black people.
obama sent troops to make health facilities and people still hate america hahahah
it dont matter
Shawn Mc, Lol. And here we go. Us against us, instead of us against "them" in true Willie Lynch fashion. Challenge the sister instead of the powers that be. I beg to differ my brother. Black people wield over a trillion dollars in spending power (http://politic365.com/2013/05/30/black-spending-power-to-hit-1t-by-2015-but-black-wealth-is-dropping/), problem is, we're not getting to keep the money we make because systems are in place that discourage black investment, promote the belief that we are meant to be consumers and not producers or investors, and steer us towards those who exploit our wealth while not promoting our economic ascension.
We spend over half a trillion dollars in hair care in America:
(http://madamenoire.com/57134/what-spending-a-half-a-trillion-dollars-on-hair-care-and-weaves-says-about-us/) and it is now the same in Africa (http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/haircare-multi-billion-dollar-industry-africa-article-1.1894350).
Now, if those who supply the products are getting wealthy and we are their buyers, how do you figure we don't have the money? Who's making them rich? Not white people. They aren't the major buyers, we are. If we are getting poorer by making them richer, go figure why. It isn't because we "don't have the millions" my brother, it is because we don't trust ourselves to build or invest in our own. We have no faith in our abilities as producers, or distributors. We don't mass produce for ourselves because we are so used to doing for everyone else. Yeah we may own a few beauty shops or stores, but 98% of the beauty supply chains in America, Africa and probably the Caribbean are owned by Asians. Not because they are smarter or better than we, but because we are still indoctrinate to believe that we have no value as economic leaders only followers as many of our black scholars have shown through the years. We don't have "too many activists" or this reality of us being continuously raped economically in our own communities by people who don't know us and are not interested in our rise to power, only our money, would not exist. WE don't own beauty shops and restaurants in the Asian, white or Spanish communities dear. WE aren't building cities or industries in China, or Dubai or Abu Dhabi. So evidently we DON'T have enough activists to scream about it and awaken us. . As for the industrialists, the world runs off of the industrialism and ingenuity of black people. It is BLACK PEOPLE THEMSELVES who don't benefit from what we create, build or invent. Not because we are stupid either. Many of us who are inventors (yeah, I'm one) can't get the financial backing or the investment confidence or access to the mainstream market place BECAUSE of the lack of confidence not just from "others" but "our own" who don't believe we are capable. And as for the scientist thing? I'M A SCIENTIST MY BROTHER. Yeah, a REAL ONE, with degrees in bio-sciences, heliobiology, cosmology and microbiology and ancient sciences. Currently writing a three-volume medical tome exploring the connection between the sun, melanin and epidemiology. We exist. We just don't get the air play because white males own 97% of the media across the board. Because you don't know us doesn't mean we aren't here. There is a reason Imhotep said "Know thyself." To that I would add, "Know your Own." Peace. Queen.
Shawn Mc , blacks not loving themselves or their own and thinking of loving your brother as b.s., now I wonder where we would be if my generation of the 50's and those who came before me who marched, and were lynched and tortured and tormented and died (I saw a black man lynched at 5 years old by the Klan, his body set on fire as a message to those of us who were fighting for civil rights) had thought that way? If love for your people had been seen as a weakness, we'd still be wearing the chains on our bodies instead of our minds. Which is worse. To think of exploitation of your people as business and resistance to that exploitation as b.s. sounds a lot like the Klansmen I heard talking in a store I worked at in the south as a child. They would've loved you because you see it as they did, "Nothing personal that we're killing, exploiting and using the n–rs, it's just business. Them or us. Lol.Typical gangster speech. But then, there are those amongst who are no different than the Klan. White sheets also cover black faces. Peace out.
I hear you my brother.
Shawn Mc
No actually it's NOT the same. One has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other. Do not mix business ethics with politics brotha that is FATAL. When someone INVESTS in your they are going to, of course, look for a RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT. You are ALWAYS free to do with your business as you wish. For example…
I give you $200,000 to start up a business. Now before I had over 200 large what do YOU need to do. You need to show me SOMETHING that convinces me that your business is WORTH investing in. This is called a business PLAN. As a PRIMARY INVESTOR of course I will be the one to receive the majority of the profit (normally between 70-90% for a set amount of time, let's say 1 year). Now b4 you start screaming exploitation remember YOU are profiting off of MY money not the other way around. I am the one taking all the risk. If your business fails you didn't just lose $200,000 of YOUR money you just lost 200 grand of MINES. This does not make you a puppet.
Once our investment agreement is over your PROFIT not your business is now fully yours. The BUSINESS was ALWAYS yours to do with as you please. Since our agreement is now over YOU can decide whether you want to allow to CONTINUE TO INVEST in your business. Except now I am now longer an investor I am a SHAREHOLDER. There's a difference. NOW I only receive a SET AMOUNT of the profit based on how much STOCK I own in YOUR business. As long as you remain the MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER the business continues to be run as YOU see fit.
Black people have to learn BUSINESS. We have to take out those damn 'hustle lenses' and put on some BUSINESS GLASSES.
Lol. When a black man in America defends George Bush and believes he actually did something good in Africa, you gotta laugh. And like Captain Picard on the Star Trek series, "Sometimes, you just have to bow to the absurd." Lol.
..that Shawn guy sounds like hes living ina pretty barbaric world..
Evelyn Khelama I'm sorry for your past experiences but this is a global society in 2014 and its cut throat, when nations like china who are extremely nation oriented find opportunities to further build and increase their nation capital they will not hesitate to take advantage.
its unfortunate but because of the wounds in the past many black folks are having a hard time adjusting to an ever evolving society.
its 2015 and im afraid to say many other nationalities will feel no compassion towards you, there will always be other groups that say " my people been slaughtered and yet we still survive"
@Orlando Coombs . How much china is paying this shit head. Only Africans can build Africa. China is using Africa as its toilet dumb and we thinks they have are improving Africa. We are very selfish and greedy to each other . This makes it easy for other nations to use us and dump us easy.
Europeans where in other parts of the world but look how improved those other countries turn out. We good at pointing fingers at others. We should take responsibility.
Blacks hate on each other. Thats what we good at.
Wayne Johnson China isnt jut investing they are also creating businesses, those large construction firms and maritime ports are chinese creations, your under the impression that those are african businesses, usually the chinese bring in their own workers to work on their projects. in the video it states that those are chinese built companies.
when they say Investing in Africa is not just as bankers, those are their businesses.
when you have a major hand in the economy you control the politicians.
…sound like the same sociopathic logic that capitalists use to hide their lack of humanity…Mc sounds like hes trying to be an intellectual here..if so Id suggest you refresh your memory…try the Bolshevik revolution…or the Opium wars…or even this American disease capitalism (which is state sanctioned hording)….finally have to say Im disappointed… the education and rhetoric they seem so proud of is only reinforcing the systems of their own oppression by worshiping the capitalist gods….try being a critical thinker and chart a new course for your childrens sake…by your logic youll be raising wild dogs…that lack of compassion you cite will be your curse in your old age..
Wayne Porter , I totally agree my brother. Couldn't have said it better. So good to know there are still some of us left. Peace and blessings. To Shawn, the lessons it would take to school you young lion, would take a lifetime. I'm not interested in compassion from others, I'm praying for the collective unity that we have never had as a people. So that we can finally benefit from the wealth we have given the world. Peace.
..the mAteriALSIM AND CAPITALISM ROBS THEM OF THIER HUMANITY..THEY SEEM TO FORGET WE ARE THE ORIGINAL HUMANS…HUMAN..THE ROOT WORD FOR HUMANITY..HUMILITY…TO BE HUMANE…IT IS A CORE PART OF THE HUMAN IDENTITY WHICH THIER HORDING LOGCI ROBS THEM OFF…THE SYSTEM ROBS YOUR SOUL BROTHER….BHOPE YOU SEE THIS…FOR YOUR OWN SAKE
Shawn Mc Not saying bush didnt do those things…but when you have trillions of dollars at your disposal..what is sending a little aid to someone..doesn't say you cared about them……If i kill a man and take care of his kids …that means nothing……i still did a wrong and aid doesnt correct it…..
Lee Booth , so proud of the young lions rising up. There are those who say there are no real black men left in America. They are wrong. There is a prophecy in the heavens, in the constellation of Cephus, that the Ethiopian Kings will rise again. I know they will and the world that is theirs will be given back to whom it rightly belongs. Hotep.
There's a lot of silliness on this page, beginning with the title of the post.
How is China exploiting Africa?
If Africans would just stop allowing tribalism to separate each other, stop allowing despots to rule and stop looking to the rest of the world to save them they could steward their own resources. Some of their leaders rape their nations treasures and run to Europe to shop. Providing no infrastructure for their own people. Then come to the US and tell us how great it is their country This has to change or the rest of the world well continue to enslave African Nations.
In order to flood a place with goods, cheap or not, you first need to have something good.
Is that a threat? Because if it is, it's kinda weak.
Evelyn Khelama its unfortunate that you feel someone is controlling how you spend your money,investing is done online, there is no face to it so no one can discriminate against you on race, this is more about an education issue.
you may want to find out what we spend that trillions of dollars on.
i'm not sure if your deliberately placing yourself as a victim in every situation because you want sympathy or you truly see yourself as a weak imbecile who has no control over her life, i guess your in alignment with those colonialist that felt the african was no more than a beast who needed controlling.
Wayne Porter you guys are living in a 1960 fantasy of life, its 2015 the daisy age is over.
capitalism is everywhere and you have no power what so ever to change that. i suggest you move to china or north korea but do research on the average citizen lie first
I thought this was a relevant connection. http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/12/31/is-what-dr-john-henrik-clarke-saying-about-the-arabs-involvement-with-the-european-slave-trade-true/
bullshit .. africa is still the same where i felt it 20 years ago bro. same old selfish mentality same reason why we sold our own people to slave trade. We hate each other. We good at pointing finger at other nations. While the politicians still all the money and send it to the west because they don't believe in them selves.
well you left me nothing to say. You are 100% correct. the west would have only stole the resources through trickery and killed any leader who did not cooperate. You are right and that is one of the reasons they brought Obama on, but it did not work. The west and Europe and completely locked out.. For example, Zimbabwes, Mugabe took all their framing land back from the Europeans and are now doing business with China.
All Black Brothers need to get involved with BRICS (BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA, S. AFRICA) NO WORLD BANK OR IMF invited. No Dollars allowed. 50% of the entire worlds resources comes from C Africa. However, the JEWS are regulating all of it and give Africans nothing. The U.S is anti-Black man and support the latinos legal and illegal. Don't worry. The entire World is yours now. Start a international business and learn import/ export. Example: certified Air Jordans are $78 if bought in the 1000's. Cost in U.S $350 GO VISIT CHINA, AFRICA AND BRAZIL ASAP.
IT'S great to discover you know who the true enemy is; Zionists JEWS. THEY ARE NOT INVITED TO BRICS!
SENEGAL AND NIGERIA 8% GROWTH ALONG WITH BRAZIL! The JEWS ARE on the run. Google FORBES/BRICS. NO DOLLAR EXCEPTED. 40% OF THE WORLDS ECONOMY IS IN THE HANDS OF BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA AND S. AFRICA. 50% OF THE ENTIRE WORLDS resources are from C. Africa.
Evelyn Khelama We are not Consumers as the Dr. loves to say..We are in fact the Producers. The United States would and will collapses if their 40+ million "Golden Geese" were to disappear.
Lee Booth pick a pure nation on this earth for me, all civilizations are started on the back of others, all nations have been conquered by others in some form, its called conquest but that conquered nation learn from their mistakes, learn from their conquerors, adapt with newly acquired skills and survive.
the mongol empire slaughtered thousands and conquered all of china , russia and much of the middle east at one time yet those people are still here and thriving.
the romans slaughtered for land, the zulu nation slaughtered thousands of tribes for land, the vikings and huns also, I can go on and on.
its human nature my friend and no group is innocent.

Lee Booth I got off topic but the US haven't had a hand in africa for some time now, the us never needed the oil or minerals from africa that's why Clinton didn't do a damn thing during the rwanda massacre, after the somalia fight to get the drug warlords the us didn't want to have anything to do with africa other than giving annual payments.
yes the US send ANNUAL payments to african countries which come to billions a years.

you are 100 % correct but prepare for the back lash if you ever say the truth in public, many black folks want to live in a fantasy and believe all those african officials are victims of the white man.

Brock Smiley so the doctors and treatment facilities for the ebola crisis was nothing.
these stats were from 2008.
When President Bush came to power in 2001, the US spent $1.4bn a year on humanitarian and development aid in Africa. By 2006, the figure had quadrupled to $5.6bn a year. And it is likely to get bigger. The centrepiece of Mr Bush's aid to Africa is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar), a five-year, $15bn Aids prevention and treatment programme launched in 2003. His most recent budget proposes doubling the funding to $30bn over the next five years.
Brock Smiley the us gives to agencies that help the people, one of the reason we went into somalia was because the warlords were stealing the food we gave to the people and were selling it back to them. people died trying to stop that act, fight for people they didn't know.
Charlie Willock Are you trying to imply china has a universal high standard when it comes to their products as the opposite seems to be true.
Shawn Mc What's your point?
Wayne Johnson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DMedmh1OAM.
What tribalism and all politicians fuck over their people or are you ignorant of your own American politics. lol.

Shawn Mc I agree with Evelyn. We are not playing victims. We want to bring awareness. China is not doing it for free. This is "soft" imperialism. They are just subtle.The message is this: only Africa can build Africa; the same way China did for China. The same way India did for India. No country can help another country to develop. Africa has everything: a lot of resources, the land the water and most important the Human resources. We have engineers, highly educated people, intelligent people.
Wait a minute. What about the the man just said. Didn't he say it is a win-win for CHINA in Kenya? I guess there are drawbacks ESP if you see 10 or thousands of Chinese living lavishly IN KENYA and many Chinese companies there. Are there tens of thousands of Kenyans in China..living prosperously? It may be trade but it dam sure isn't 50-50 win-win for each. Didn't you hear the man?
Thank you brother. I have to admit though infrastructure is needed though. I mean…streetlights, power..we take thouse things for granted. Shit, not that I think about it, buiid up the whole country…I'll get me a piece, but hell..i need roads to drive on …right?
africa has 54 countries, if none of these countries want to work together then why should we condemn the countries that seek outside investments and help, we are not privy to any contracts or internal disputes within the continent.
if you study the history of africa you would know they hold tribal loyalty over national or racial loyalty and now national loyalty over racial loyalty.
they aren't weak, they are trying to progress the best way they can like any other nation.
china DEPENDS on the US buying their products, everything your wearing and every electronic item come from asia.
your speaking on emotion and racial pride but not reality, its about who has the MONEY.
who fault is that?
Richard Stiffpeter Shepherd you have options to move to a dictatorship, there are still governments that don't believe in capitalism, research how the average person live before you knock our society.
A question was posed on the internet and the question ask "is African people stupid not.
So what EXACTLY is the issue? Is it African leadership lacking? How can any nation these days come into your nation and take advantage of it. Someone explain that. If its fair trade, ok. If its not then why isn't it?
Richard Stiffpeter Shepherd No.
Charlie Willock So you're saying Africa has no good goods to flood China? Humm, I do believe they have plenty…
Shawn Mc Wayne johnson is drinking the kool aid, don't worry about him.
I am not appalled. The leadership in many African countries is fundamentally "effed up." The continent has is awash in wealth, in the form of natural resources, but yet many of its citizens live in squalor while a small minority (live lavishly).
It seems that many leaders have not learned a lesson from centuries ago– don't let foreigners control and usurp the resources. Can the African go to Europe and Asia and control their resources? I think not.
Why are African nations importing foreigners to build its infrastructure? Shouldn't they train their citizens at home or abroad so they can build their own infrastructure?
you sounds exactly like wumao troll who is spreading propaganda for china. why repeating so many times that "it's just trade" and "don't believe the hype"? it's like trying to mess with other people's brain and hope they will be cursed and memorized those words. sicko wumao troll!
yup china doesn't come with guns (another popular wumao blame on European and US), but they come with spoiling corrupted politicians, deceit and manipulating to cause unfair regulations toward the poor labor workers. At the end, a few politicians become rich, but people are not beneficial because they still work like slave with unfair and unstable treatments. And the country is in the hand of china's power, to be used against other countries and to be exploited labor and resources. So it's only not helping, but another way for china to expand its country and power. Later on more chinese will come and take over Africa but of course only give the chinese advantage to grow. Proof? Look at Tibet, HongKong. These countries are exploited by china and they can't even practice their culture and freedom because of arm threat by china. Chinese were moved in and given all the advantages to live but not the locals. If china can treat people with same skin color like that, why will it treat black or white people well? and China also invaded south east ocean despite international laws disagreed with it. In China itself humanity is not protected.
unbelievable! just read your post right when I tried to find some proofs what china actually does in Africa!
Wayne Johnson u should look at how hongkong people are treated by chinese after being taken over from britain. higher inequality, corruption, locals were not giving housing but mainland chinese,… and in tibet people are pushed out of their land and houses to give those to chinese, and not allowed to practice their culture, say what they want or oppose unfair and illegal rulings of china. Their countries' resources are also exploited maximumly. China knows fair trade?
Exactly Annie
That's because Hong Kong doesn't consider themselves to BE Chinese. They consider themselves to be their own little private whatever. That is the very reason WHY China is the ONLY country with a 2 government system.
2nd you have to realize that there is NO overnight solution to the problems going on in Africa. The problem with too many of us is that we are warriors that don't understand military STRATEGY. We want to go on and on about how Africa needs to kick out all the White people an simply take back African land. But what we DON'T realize is that NO African country has a sufficient military to do ANYTHING. That is NOT an accident.
Africa has been purposely NOT ALLOWED to develop a military. And why do you think that is? Because if African countries ARE allowed to develop themselves militarily they would have a means by which to DEFEND THEMSELVES and thus they would have a means to actually STOP colonialism and exploitation of African countries.
EVERY countries ECONOMY depends on the exploitation of Africa. If they allow Africa to 'free itself' the entire worlds economy would basically collapse. If you don't believe me just look at the reason Gaddaffi was murdered.
What we fail to realize is that the entire WORLD depends on the exploitation of Africa. Africa is the ONLY continent that can SELF-SUSTAIN itself without ANY importation of goods from other countries. Do you REALLY think that the WORLD is going to give up Africa? This is what I mean by we don't understand military STRATEGY. We want to go in their guns blazing with no actually PLAN OF ACTION. Do you REALLY think all those countries that depend on Africa for it's countries economic base are simply going to wake up one day an say, "I know we are exploiting African an it needs to stop"? They will DESTROY Africa before they allow THEIR countries economy to go to $hit. They will DESTROY Africa before they allow Africa to gain the MILITARY arms by which to defend itself an stop neo-colonialism.
The difference between China and the U.S. is that China is at least allowing Africa to KEEP THE LAND. They may be doing business deals on the infrastructure an businesses ON TOP OF THE LAND. But they are allowing Africa to keep the mineral wealth within it. Is their going to be some exploitation? Of course but unlike the U.S. they Chinese are not pointing a Nuke at Africa an TAKING the land. Even though, to be perfectly honest with you, they COULD IF THEY WANTED TO.
All I'm saying is that we have to develop an actual PLAN OF ACTION to free Africa not just sit there an think like a 'nigga' that we should go in guns blazing and let everything work itself out afterwards. That has NEVER worked for us in the past an it won't work now. We need to HELP Africa develop an ECONOMIC POWERBASE by which to free itself. The only thing that talks is MONEY and/or VIOLENCE and we DO NOT have the firepower to put up armed resistance so we have to go with ECONOMICS.
You are inferring things I didn't say. I only implied that China has goods that people are willing to buy.
WE HAVE ALWAYS LACK THE PROPER ASSERTIVENESS AS A PEOPLE AND THIS HAS BECOME VERY COSTLY–ONE WE ARE EITHER SLOW TO WAKE UP TO OR PLAIN DO NOT WANT TO WAKE UP TO–
BUT ASSERTIVENESS OF THE ISSUES OF CONCERN IS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE–BLACK AFRICAN LEADERS ARE NOT MAKING ENOUGH DEMANDS ON THE CHINESE–THEY WANT THE DEALS WE OFFER THEM–SO DO WE WANT WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER–BUT IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE GAINING MORE OF OF IT THAN WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ALLOWING–I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT BLACK LEADERSHIP AND HERE WE GO AGAIN.
They are going to move there and become the ruling class we seen this movie before It's called South Africa.
everybody will go back to theland of their origin, and no race or people will ever make the BlackMan afraod,
Contact rape crisis cuz Africa is always gettin fucked.
Sounds like history repeating itself. Everyone rapes Africa, of people, resources, and dignity. Some things will never change.
According to some Africans and Carribean Natives on some other videos, they are educated and come over to America and get elite positions and jobs. If their country has those kind of educational resources, why aren't they doing more to improve on their own countries as opposed to coming to America and taking positions Americans should be holding? How does a poor country provide better education for their people than the world's supposedly strongest country? The same thing with trade. American businesses send their labor to other countries and then have the products imported back in and charge Americans 100x the cost. We are good enough to buy the products, but we aren't competent enough to make them. This also puts Americans out of work. Even call centers are located outside the US and this is not to sound prejudice, but most of the time you can't understand what the person is saying to you because of their thick accents. Thus most problems remain unresolved due to poor customer service. Our markets are flooded with products from every country in the world, and very little of our own. Check your belongings. How many things do you have that say "Made in USA"? Take a good look at them, because if we don't get a hold of our business vs trade, the majority of Americans won't have anything, not even jobs.
Shawn Mc lol as an african living on the continent i would say that i partly agree with you because the issues are much more complex than the way you portray it. To begin with Kimberly Bradley africans people are not allowing despot to rule them they just have very little choice because those despots you talk about are heavily supported and armed by the western nations. However this is a long war and if you try to do more research you would realize that african people have never stopped fighting and have won quite a few battles. Just like blacks during slavery in the usa who have won the battle of having physical freedom but still have to fight for economic empowerement and so on. So no as an African i am not mad at all i just partly agree, i studied in the west but can never ever see myself living there i honestly regard it as hell on earth for most black people begining with the US. It takes time but we are working at it and will succeed. In the meantime i strongly encourage all the afro descendants to come on the ground with us if they feel like it and work at liberating our great motherland. oh ps: my dad an my mom are not from the same tribe lol i must come from mars..just so you know the spaniards have tribal issues so do the belgiums as a matter of facts they remained without a government for a year because the two main tribes could not find a reasonable agreement to lead the country. I would be very happy to welcome you in AFRICA so that you can make an opinion not based on tv or even books but what you actually see and witness 😉
Winnie Diamond excuses. at least the spaniards and belgium (europeans) work TOGETHER to defeat a common enemy (any non-white). Unlike stupid africans. Stop pacifying the gross INCOMPETENCE of Africans to govern themselves. You're all DOWNRIGHT EMBARRASING, a shell of your former selves.
You have be dumb to compare china and the west… China will just take all our wealth and leave us dry. The western world is way more good for africa then some selfish communist contrary. Are 5 year old kids ? always blaming someone for our own mistakes we make. We are so corrupt thats the real problem, we dont love Africa enough. We do not love each other.
Are we 5 years old ? we dont know whats good or bad for us ? The real problem is we are greedy and have no love for Africa. We let anyone in the house to do what the fuck they like.
Africans have no love for the land. They are so greedy it unbelievable. No love for each other. Thats the problem.
Then no more food aid to Africa. You kidding ? Africa will suffer. We are so greedy and corrupt. Lets try fix that first. This the reason every on take advntage of us. Because the see us are just a bunch of jokes.
Shawn Mc you lie my brother we are victims of our selves. we have no love for each other at all. What back lash ? what truth ? everyone knows we are fucking greedy and have no love for each other bro. We always trying to blame it on someone. Thats the easy way out easy solution to the problem.
China is worst than the west. Just look how the treat their own people. Its sad. We are so fucked. Shit!
Yes because we are a bunch of greedy dumb. Who are willing to sell each other. African was first before all these places. First man walked out of africa. We are so greedy and savage to each other. This makes it easy for any other nation to shit on us as they like. Shit!
Shawn Mc china is no good.. look how the treat their own people. Black people we dont learn.
Wake up Africa! "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."

I think the problem is that the "Deals" that are being made are not putting into consideration TRAINING Africans in consruction work for all these projects. They should incorporate having to HIRE a high percentage of African workers.
That was an innacurate pro american propaganda clip. That american Black dude who was calling China "imperialists" probably works for the CIA. China and Africa do have many win win situations. You never saw America or Europe build a damn thing in Africa, they just cause civil wars, created AIDS, Ebola and starvation, and stole everything that was not nailed down. China is not doing that by any means. China is not conducting covert operations, nor causing instability and civil wars in Africa,…and they are building infrastructure that AFRICANS BENEFIT FROM and they are PAYING for the resources they extract.
China is setting up military bases in Africa this seems familliar to me…….

agreed
China and America may end up fighting over Africa as USA has military bases in Africa also. Not sure what Africa will do, but if Ghadafi succeeded with the African Bank, gold dinar, and African Monatary Fund; nobody would be able to control or compete with Africa.
Speak to the U.S. Media. They will take yurt story and run with it to deflect the attention away from obama while he destroys this country. We were once a great nation until he waws put into office by the socialist , the communist. now we shall have to become beggar's to the people we once were able to assist in hard times..
Nsut, not true. Africa has a great many resources which could make her rich and powerful, but she lacks infrastructure to truly compete. Africa is also being crushed by its poverty and the diseases and starvation which are plaguing her people. Finally, there is the oppression and warfare that occurs as one group seeks domination over another. Ghadafi ever stood a chance at uniting the continent, and truthfully, all he was interested in was expanding his dictatorship to exploit the people d resources er areas.
Jim Walters. How can you say not true. You're comment is the result of USA and China's militarires. You need to search the truth about Ghadafi. USA media will lie until yours ears bleed. Ghadafi was given free healthcare, free college, $5000 dollars or more to expecting mothers, and so much more. If Ghadafi succeeded with the gold dinar, USA and France would be like 3rd world countries.
