[@MetaView7]

​ Exactly. Just business! Africa Chinese direct investment rose from $1 billion in 2004 to $43.4 billion in 2020. Since 1990, Chinese enterprises established eleven SEZs in sub-Saharan Africa including Nigeria (two), Zambia, Djibouti, Kenya, Mauritius, Mauritania, Egypt, Oman, and Algeria. The SEZs facilitated labour-intensive and less competitive industries, for example in textiles. These efforts aim to transfer China's development successes to other countries and increase business opportunities for all.

Not only in Africa , they do it in Asia also... America's provocative path is raising concerns among countries in Asia The US Foreign Policy to keep Asia poor and divided as stated in a top-secret U.S. Foreign Policy document written 76 years ago is still in force. February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy: Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time. Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975.

What is most surprising is that as advanced as China was at that time, with 30 ships landing in Kenya, China did not enslave the Africans. Instead, they returned to China with a giraffe. Chinese values harmonious co-existence, cooperation, and respect for other cultures. Western Anglo-European and American cultures have always been very extractive, exploitative, and predatory towards non-white populations. Their immigration policies divide the world into Eastern and Western Hemisphere. They imposed restrictions on the number of people that can enter tge U.S.from the Eastern Hemisphere all the way to Afghanistan, but there are no restrictions on the Europeans.

No free meals, we Africans need to learn those technologies. Hope they do not only take loans but also get some tech transfer

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

Well,China is making a start by offering free scholarships to African students each year to attend Chinese universities to learn those technologies,the next step is for African governments to implement technology transfer as part of any new trade agreements with China.

Why is it that when the reporter says Chinese Investments, he mentions specific project names and appreciation from the government head while the reporter mentions US investment, he only mentions money and percentage and no project name. 🤔

[@funpau7549]

CNA has a lot of Chinese sponsors.

The emergence of China as an economic power is a blessing to Africa.

[@funpau7549]

It’s sad Africans could not pull itself out of dependency, and are being used by China and other countries. It will be awhile before they realize Chinese constructions are not the most sturdy and it’s not good to be in debt to any country.

CNA seem to be a part of the western propaganda media...they're not too blatant but the bias shows.

[@jeffxie5067]

As a Chinese, I would say this competition of investing in Africa is healthy competition which can make the world a better place. If only all the US-China competitions are like this...

[@alveronng9191]

Industrialization is key to national development and most countries start from there, UK and US are the leading example in the past and today is China.

[@joey3291]

An easy choice actually, especially after seeing what the US has done in the past two years...

the "Age of Exploration" was a disaster for all the indigenous people throughout the world. CNA can't be serious asking about the empire's influence in Africa?

[@hc1897]

So a bunch of engineers are obsessed with bridges and roads. They have built like a gazillion of them in all shapes and sizes, over all kinds of terrains, in all kinds of climate. So they then take off to other countries asking, "Hey you want roads? you want bridges? I can build them! Yeah cheaply and quickly too, cos I know exactly how to do it, done it 4 million times." So ... would that be Chinese or American engineers, I wonder?

[@YizhouSun-ql6li]

As I Chinese, I have to tell you this: we are not going to take your rich back to China, we are going to create wealth with you. We invest in your country, building factories, roads, grids, hiring local people. The people hired get money, then they use the money to buy industrial products of China. Of course we Chinese people earn money, but you also improve your living standards. Imagine the scene, you can have a car, a brand new car with the salary of a year! A decent brand new car! Chinese people now make this true in China, and we will make this true all over the world!

[@funpau7549]

It’s sad all these western donations for these many years, and volunteers that went to help. Just like the Chinese are not grateful for the last 40 years of western investments and all the r&d they’ve stolen.

[@dumisa7]

The US's obsession with competition, as opposed to cooperation, coupled with centuries of Anglo-colonial prejudice and bigotry against Africa will always hamper any US interest in Africa. Notice that the US's projects concern themselves with money and finance, whereas the Chinese projects are more about people and jobs.
