Why are cacs so upset about this new collab? They are so quick to say "China is just using africa" "China is going to exploit africa"

I got into it with a Swede about this. He didn't know that I deal in Sino-African business so I had to break it down for him. I was mind boggled that he came up with such bullshyt like "Chinese treat africans bad", "the Chinese are just using them" It's almost as if he can't image that the chinese have a totally different mentality then them. I began to explain to him, how europe STOLE resources AND people....for free. There is NOTHING China is taking for free. They are taking minerals in exchange for infrastructure and shared technology, that is considered TRADING.

He then proceeds to tell me how in Ethiopia, the chinese are bringing in chinese workers and not teaching the africans anything, I had to explain to him that Africa is a continent with 56 countries, each country has it's own laws that pertain to that for example in the congo for every chinese worker there needs to be 4 congolese workers, and for every 40 congolese they must have a congolese manager.

Why are westerners (and their media) so hell bent (in an almost wishful thinking manner) that China is fukking up Africa? It's almost like they HATE seeing these 2 collab without them. :wtf:

You'd think these nikkas would be happy for Africa...wait....wait...of course not.

yeah. The West really doesn't have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining that a country might be exploiting africa

but I think it's OK to be objective and keep a eye out for the sociopolitical aspects of chinese investment... they're not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, and when they have a big economic presence they automatically become a political player

How often does business/trade operate from the goodness of ones heart, friend? Its business. They both have something mutual to gain. What Africans do with the money they make from China is what really matters.

Its better then those USA deals.

Its so demonic, friend. :sitdown:
