I am from Central Asia and we have an absolutely similar situation with China, so I think I can make a comment on this topic 1) Ordinary Africans themselves are to blame for this problem, just as here in Central Asia we are to blame for a government that prefers to take out loans and fall into a debt trap of slavery, rather than cope on its own or look for better options, for example, in Africa, there are countries that use European loans such as Mauritania or Nigeria, provided that they do something to democratize the government. 2) People have every right to dislike Chinese people who live in China, firstly because I was in China and most people in China are proud of the actions of their government (at least in 2012), and secondly, people who work in Chinese companies that pump natural resources from the countries of China's creditors, absolutely everyone is proud of their special status that they receive in the host country, I say from personal experience, they themselves prefer to segregate, not only from local but also from Chinese who are engaged in smaller positions, this is also observed in China and in other countries but in Eastern culture it is very archaic

true, I am seeing this in Africa for a while

It is up to African countries to willingly go into the debt trap. Lack of other options isn't an excuse for putting on more burden on themselves.

@@myopyaesone1062 You can’t build a poor country without debt, if only they had better options at least

well said. Japanese were brainwashed by their own government about China before WWII and Germans were brainwashed by their own government about Jews before WWII. Now the US government and its media are brainwashing people about China. America is leading the world down a very dangerous path. We've seen the war on Afghanistan using WMD pretext. In contrast, many Chinese people love America; they go to America for work or study. America used to a pillar of democracy for the world but it has changed.

Exactly

Totally agreed with your point !

Well said!

You forget Islam. All foreign religions are bad for Africa.

@@ghostnights8538 what about islam ?? Turkey is doing great for themselves and the africans look it up. Islam is not foreign..its the truth.

China pay for what lol ? They are busy taking our land from us. China worst than any other nation. Chines hate dark skin people with a passion. Africa better wake up. Your dark skin is why they hate us so much. Bleaching will not solve it. 😂 just learn to love each other and build a better Africa. Never focus on hate and negativity. Problem solving is what we should be working on.

Wow, very powerfully said!!!

Yes. The West uses the IMF and World Bank to impose loans with conditions that hurt the ordinary workers, the 99%. Conditions such as requiring they grow crops for export -- not for their own food (and only import their own food). China builds infrastructure and employs many local residents. America and NATO use democracy-bombs to get their way. Given world history in comparison to this present moment, it seems clear why Africans would rather deal with the China.

Yeah. Few more years and you will see the real ends of Chinese policy.

@@Unfamous_Buddha on the surface of it, going with China seems like a no-brainer. Unfortunately they rarely follow through with their promises or give fair compensation. Though they definitely train more local workers, which I suppose is a positive.

@@user-xr4fw1se9q -- So you say. But right now, would you as a third-world citizen, prefer infrastructure being built or democracy-bombs being dropped on your infrastructure (along with innocent civilian being slaughtered)?

@@josephelijah4073 -- And China's non-use of democracy-bombs is also a plus.

It must be different with neighboring Asian countries, China doesn't want them to see it as a threat, even if it's more and more threatening with Taiwan By the way, the situation with Laos is similar to African countries'. Or maybe worse, since they share a border and Laos is almost a Chinese province

@@goldflo91 Taiwan isn’t a country. It’s been a part of China longer than USA has been a nation. There is a One China Policy in UN, and in Taiwan constitution and Chinese constitution. There is also the UN Resolution 2758 which gave the legal representation of the One China Policy back to mainland China and Taiwan is a province of China. Don’t attempt separate China like you separated Korea into two parts.

@@Hoo88846 "Don't attempt separating China like Korea was" : well, you should say that to those nationalists who flew China to escape Mao Zedong and the communists, and founded a separate country 😉 If only mainland China got rid of its communist dictatorship, maybe the Chinese islands would be willing to come back and reunite

@@goldflo91 China has been de facto capitalistic for four decades and is still being demonized. It’s got nothing to do with the EXCUSE of communism. Japan, Germany, Vietnam and many countries have communist parties. I don’t see USA being as relentless in demonizing those countries as China. In fact, japan and Germany are American military allies. Why? Because it’s got nothing to do with communism. USA just wants to help Germany and Japan, the two axis of evil powers that started WWII, to finish their unfinished dreams of reconquer Russia for Germany and China for Japan. Communism is one of the many excuses to keep attacking China and Russia for the axis of evil Germany and Japan.

@@goldflo91 If KMT didn’t opt for a civil war but instead did elections, there wouldn’t have been KMT on one side, and a CPC on the other side.

Ffs stop toeing the anti china line. China literally provided EVIDENCE of never confiscating, and you're reinterpreting that as a threat... There's a reason they chose china, any loan from the west would've both been more expensive AND had political AND economic strings attached- true colonialism. I didn't realize you were so biased until now Meanwhile evergrande can't repay its loans to western debtors and you're salivating over selling its assets

@@goldsilvervscrisiscollapse4320 CCP bot stop it lol 😂. Even your name is hilarious.

@@orkkojit This accusation is just evidence that you can't fight me logically, on an intellectual basis, and must resort to some unprovable accusation that actually makes no sense, especially when considering how well I've been able to linguistically dominate you.

@@aidk23 and is the US complaining about being in a debt trap?

Atleast in the latter the beneficiary has a choice. African countries prefer China because china doesn't interfere with their internal issues.

Where the heck it's the imperalistic angles from currently 21st century structured value political western countries.Are you still stuck in the very past of before mid-20ty century, Mr. Probably an African version of a ultranationalist irrationalis,which many western imperialists were.BACK then ,goes to even the many currently eastern/Xi-chinese ultranationalist to naive to think more independently to their more and more Mao-likevaluepolitical(once again) Xi-regime/Xi-dynasty.Think.about that for a minute,will you??So,give me a break..lol..Jeez. Otherwise,yeah sure to the rest of your statements 🙄🤷🤦😅😉✌🌈💎🌈

U r Kenyan not Ugandan

Stop lying on KZfaq comments lol 😂😂

@@orkkojit hes probably never been to a Ugandan political popup which guns are involved, my sister was in one when she was in gulu uganda a few years back

@@orkkojit a Ugandan from West Nile, precisely Maracha District, working in Kenya as a Lecturer

on what point?China has been doing business with Africa for decades.there is no war,no slavery,no coup.and yet this is worse than western countries?that's the point? after all those hospitals,railway,factories,schools China built and western couldn't do.still China is worse?
