Now Africa is in debt to China, they usually default on the loan, and there is usually a greasy clause that states China will own X or Y on default of loan
At least someone corrupt in the government makes a nice payday in Africa, everyone else in Africa loses out
On top of that, all of these infrastructure plans are to help build Chinas "Silk Road". Nothing to do with "let's help africa".
Chinas initiatives in Africa, amongst other countries, is heavily exploitive
Then again, every country is guilty on some level, in some form, of being a shitty country. Same goes for humans no matter where you are |
Yea I was gonna post somthing along the same line but didn’t have the energy lol
I watch some YouTubers who travel a lot in Africa and they visit some hella poor countries or places where you either live in a corrugated steel shack or a mansion, and China had come into these places and built crazy infrastructure but the guy who is the YouTubers guide there is like “no one ever thought we needed this bridge” etc.
Russia is doing the same thing
But then I think to one of my best friends parents who lived in Africa (The DRC) for 6 years running a eucalyptus mill for a French company.
Like, is that any better? Maybe because it provides into the local economy but it’s kindA the same thing
