you make no sense, the project is about building a rail line across Africa

instead of trying to argue a bigger issue like why it's being funded(like everybody else in here), you want to argue semantics

you're the only genius in here, shut up genius
Like that ever was truly the case :mjlol:

If they use local workers and the governments negotiate payments of each load of raw materials being transported, it’s a win.

They need to help build a decent railroad across the US first.

I bet if they do build one in Africa, not a single case of NIMBY-ism will be cared about.

China is offering to build the shyt for less and can provide the man power to make sure it gets done quickly. It's got millions of workers who will jump at the chance to hustle and make money.

Meanwhile over here we just elected a president that calls countries in Africa "shythole(s)"

China has set an example for the rest of the world. They are looking at their model and seeing if they can emulate it.

The choice is pretty clear for most developing nations.
A: a country that just told them "we are exactly as racist as you thought" by electing a blatant white supremacist as president all the while all the markers of stability in the country are eroding in real time. With cities literally crumbling while it's elected officials refuse to fund infrastructure bills.

B: the only country to ever lift over 300 million people out of poverty within less than 3 decades and who is rapidly becoming a leader in technology and sustainable development. This same country is continuously building massive, sophisticated cities and investing in high speed, publicly accessible transportation.


Do you bet on the horse with rabies that refuses to eat and bites people who try to feed it, or the pony that has a healthy appetite and is choosing to run laps and rest at appropriate times?

Is there a reason no African countries can unite to build the railroad without outside help?

I'm sure they have the resources and can buy the equipment. Is it lack of knowledge?
Idiots keep asking for outside help instead of sending their youths to school to build out the country

Show me where in my post I celebrated exploitation.

One country is agreeing to trade deals and to build up infrastructure.

Another isn't even building it's own infrastructure and is threatening tariffs and banning competition.

If America is doing what China is doing and actually trying to address problems instead of pretending they don't exist, maybe African leaders wouldn't need any convincing.
