@Yong Zhou China saw a ripe plum for the picking. With an economy in pieces, it'd an opportunity to buy low. China is taking page out of the European's 17th and 18th century playbook. Take over critical ports and trade routes and you dominate world trade. How else did the British Empire do what it did during the industrial revolution despite having a tiny population relative to what they ruled? They dominated major trade routes and regions with critical resources like India, the Dutch East indies and the west indies.

I think they documentaries tend to put on a "every action have an reaction" mood on it. I like them and don't take them to heart like others because they tend to do. Like they showed the effects of western companies manipulation on companies and companies to acquire rare earth materials for products, have a bad effect on the land and its people. They talked about a lot of subjects. Idk for some reason when I be in the comment section of those videos most people from the west be like we should do better and discuss, but Chinese people is way too defensive. We know from experience it's all about benefits. So why Chinese people acting like they are some kind of unicorn. Most companies operate like this. This world is not perfect.

Actually i 'm Greek and i know a little more on the case. So the container port of Piraeus was in a very bad shape under state ownership, underdeveloped and underfunded, i 'm a professional merchant marine engineer, i have traveled the world and seen many ports, Cargo handling machinery and cranes were old and inadequate for modern large ships, the port was actually controlled by a trade union like Mafia (shown here - they cry because they have to work to earn their wages). The corrupted political parties that dominate the governments for the last 45 years - and which have bankrupted Greece btw, Pasok and Nea Dimokratia have used the dock workers as a political token and tool with illegal appointments of their "clientele". Their work ethic was that of a public servant : do minimal work until the shift is over, they even turned ships away from the port because they didn't like to work! Now the Chinese are no virgin Maries and certainly not fools, but at least they agreed and signed a labor contract with the union (which doesn't represent the majority of workers as far as i know), and there is "peace" in the port. Actually Greece has benefited A Lot from increasing tax revenue from the growth of the port. And the Chinese actually occupy more people now then before...

Thanks again DW. You take documentary making to a whole new level. How you manage to synthesize a myriad of complex issues in under 45 minutes while remaining balanced and objective amazes me. 👍

The statement by the Italian economist in the end is enlightening. China has a new way of doing things which Europe needs to learn from, just like in the 19th centuries, Europe had new ways of doing things that Asia needed to learn from. Japan succeeded in learning from the West faster than China did, and it became a regional power. China decided not to learn from Europe, not only was it defeated in many wars, it was later invaded by Japan. European countries need to be more open about what their countries' strengths and weaknesses are, and start learning from the Asians. Otherwise, history will repeat itself in the 21st century.

[@Never_again_against_anyone]

The learning will not happen as long as most of us Europeans live in a bubble. We grow up learning almost nothing about Asia and even among those of us speaking multiple languages it is rare to have an Asian one among them. People do not understand the present because they do not understand history. And for most being trapped in their often monolingual information bubble is not helping with that.

The EU is not United in times of hardships. Germany has been imposing austerity to Greece and Italy. No wonder the two countries welcome the Chinese offer of investment. Time to unite in sharing the benefits of the Union more fairly!! Time to share debts too: Germany must accept the responsibility of its surplus.

The Chinese regime lift her whole population, about 10 billion, from poverty in the past 40 years. That deserve respect. You have no idea how miserable my parents’ generation life was. You have never tasted the feeling of hunger, that is why you would never understand China.

[@legs_11.82]

You're not allowed on youtube if you were in China. If you are Chinese and live overseas you are literally watched to see if you hate the CCP. How many slaves are working in Chinese sweat shops? how many Muslims are in camps right now? and how come China is the number one source of the organ trade?

[@freedomlife3623]

I thought CCP has been in charge of China for 70 years. So what did they do for the first 30 years? Do you have to thank the people put you in poverty in the first place?
