For such a geo-political topic there's an awful lot of talk regarding trust in this thread. Real politiks is not about trust brehs.
I don't think a single one of the leaders has made a good decision with Chinese trade.I don't know why people who are especially not even Africa have issues with the video. People need to get over this silly paranoid idea[which was created by the West] of China colonizing Africa. All China wants in Africa is resources for their economy. Its on African leaders themselves if they choose dumb business decisions. NOT the Chinese who will only take advantage. China in Africa being good or bad is only decided by the African leaders.
I'd rather prefer the Chinese and Japanese in Africa than the West[especially France] and Indians. But I agree with @Premeditated that the Coli have a very almost fictitious view of Africa.

I don't think it's silly or paranoid. Africans (AA's included) globally have a consistent track record of getting finessed by foreigners on every level. I'm not against trade, I want the entire diaspora to prosper and build REAL partnerships with each other and abroad.
I'm not even mad at the Chinese (or arabs or Europeans or indians etc) who eat off our short sighted deals. They're supposed to get the best deal they can get. I'm just tired of seeing nikkas do gullible things. I see how the Chinese get down in Philly, New York and even Jackson & I say the same thing about us. Why should we not call out bad deals? Are we just supposed to let it slide?
Chinese logging trucks in Mozambique.
China is killing all our animals, destroying all our forests, taking all our natural resources while we simpletons are happy with stupid stadiums and poor roads they constract. We suck!!
I don't think a single one of the leaders has made a good decision with Chinese trade.
They're selling both resources and land for far-cheaper than they could've gotten, and their letting China make it rain on their environment.
And it's definitely neo-colonialism, the Chinese moving to Africa are basically setting up a class by themselves, while propping up despotic regimes with money.
Getting finessed hard as hell.African leaders COULD be out there making killer deals but I doubt it.
Best believe China would'nt be here if it wasnt a sweet deal for them.
Hopefully we flip the script by not honoring agreements after shyt gets built.
I know first hand the Chinese BEEN getting a lot of work from the Nigerian Govt......who have not released FULL details of the deals. I just pray we're not getting finessed too hard.![]()
God, damn. Corruption, greed, and sacrifices
