US Finally Wants to Help Build a Railroad Across Africa

[Strapped]

Wow, you don’t see a problem with economic exploitation by China? Really?

You don’t see their cultural influence and the use of political leverage that lead to unfair labor practices?

You don’t see how this is modern-day colonialism?

And to make it worse, you don’t think that they’re racist?

Hilarious.

They fail to invest in their youths & education. The youths need to get rid of all these old leaders & you need to stop quoting me with nonsense.

Nothing I said is nonsense. China is the dark side. I don’t get how you don’t see it.

How about actually focusing on making sure we have competent and affordable national railroad system in the U.S.? Amtrak pretty much makes no sense financially to most Americans. $210 to go from NYC to Miami on a 28 hour trip. I found plane tickets as cheap as $75 with the average low to mid hundreds. Why would anyone take Amtrak? Let's hope the $66 billion allocated leads to some real improvements.

I know this project is mainly to benefit corporations because they're intimidated that China has built rail roads to transport resources for themselves

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?

If it ain't China, Japan or Western Europe. We don't want that shyt. This who bytch ass coli c00ns shill for. A government that ain't did shyt but bring misery upon Black people globally. Get that p*ssy ass shyt outta here

China is a much better option than the EU or Uncle Sam . They need to get rid of all those old leaders asap by force to move forward

China is not funding terrorism in the region or building military bases under the guise of security while fueling chaos . We need more change like what happened in Burkina Faso , Mali & Niger

China owns everything in Africa , the telecoms all use Chinese equipment. They do not necessarily despise negroes like the EU & Washington. The Chinese have also updated the Caribbeans telecoms . China is building more nuclear power plants than any other country. China is helping South &latin America with their telecoms & electricity needs . The Chinese are currently rebuilding all the destruction NATO did in the middle east

Imagine a US president telling China they won’t challenge them or attempt to be number 1.



Did you dummies know China lent Angola billions and let them pay it back in oil?

Angola couldn’t get enough “investments” or profit to keep the fields really going or grow them.

Why?

Because China was getting all the oil as part of the debt repayment



Then China started buying a bunch of Russian oil and stopped taking a bunch of Angola oil and told Angola we can figure this out later

U.S is such a manipulative cock blocking hoe. Stay the fukk out of Africa.

Blame Angola for being an idiot & not investing in educating their youths to run the country. What you wrote is pointless

How many wars has China started in the last 50 years? Compare that to the U.S.

How many governments have they destabilized? Compare that to the U.S

These are the first points that make sense …

You got me there

So the country with 800 military bases in 80 different countries is the saint compared to the country that only has one base outside its borders???

Yeah yeah I got it


@Robbie3000

Proved the point

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

They would be better developing a comprehensive development plan amongst themselves.

Facts. Africa needs to stop looking outside for solutions.

Dealing with America, Europe, China etc., is like taking out high interest payday loans.

Trump will probably undue anything Biden pursued overseas out of spite.

Trump might pull this off… resources… it’s a plus imo

China could be worse than America and Europe combined..and I'm not saying this lightly.

How many colonies has China had?

How many colonies has China had?

Thankfully China came to the party late

But any nation anywhere that China would have colonized would still remain a Chinese colony today.

This isn't a very strong argument because of the cold war. We don't teach the Chinese role much in the west. I basically had to go to college to learn anything about it, but they were very active.

China was acting a fool in Korea, Vietnam ,Thailand, Cambodia, burma, Laos, etc and is directly connected to the atrocities and genocides of South East Asia . They were too busy training insurge nts and destabling govts in Asia to focus on Africa.

There were a few noticable exceptions such as China's support for the Biafra regime. Ironically, they worked with France on that one and funneled guns in hopes of breaking the Nigerian union. China also funneled weapons into Angola in hopes of controlling the newly found country and differentiating themselves from the Soviets after their ideological split.


I admit they have chilled out during Xi and Jintao era, but they were very active in destabalization in the years prior.
