Zambia & Congo: China's African Takeover

[Imhotep]

China's economic boom is resulting in the biggest scramble for Africa since the end of European colonialism. Trade between Beijing and Africa has more than quadrupled since 2000 and hundreds of new companies, many of them partly owned by the Chinese State, have set up. Thousands of Chinese workers are now in Central Africa, buying up copper and cobalt

Thanks! Good Info.

But many Zambians also accuse the Chinese of being so focused on making money out of Africa that they do not care about the local people. The team are shown a cemetery where 46 victims of one of Zambia's worst industrial accidents - an explosion at a Chinese-owned factory - are buried. Local residents accuse the Chinese management of failing to uphold safety standards. Other locals claim that the factory is responsible for environmental damage, and Hartley finds a stream heavily polluted by acidic effluent.

I think whats even more tragic is that the government is not enforcing laws that would prohibit such exploitative practices. If China is pouring in billions into these resources and reaping the benefit than their should be money in the form of tax revenue to develop the country. What we understand about the African continent is that the tax revenues does not get distributed properly to the people it has to take its turn around parliament maybe 5 times before the people see anything. We are our own worst enemy, until Africa cleans up its political crisis its easy for China, India, and the rest of the world to suck things out while leaving destruction and misery behind.

I'D rather China do it than these white european countries. I see china throwing ninjas a bone before the white devil. They need to give the africans some ak's so they can take their shit back. im backing china 1000% with this one. China getting the the people with color back on point. their doing more for african than us niggas are doing for them in america.

We were born in the western culture, the africans are trying to adapt to some shit that was forced upon them. china recognize that africa is about to be fucked by america so they are going align with the african people and kick the europeans out of that bitch.

Read the article again. Pay attention to the words they use and the references made to Hiroshima and others. This is clearly a propaganda piece. China is investing money into Africa even if they are using child labor it dosent matter because they are getting paid. No one has dared to build anything in these regions and paid people, they usually force people to work for nothing. America did the same thing thats how emerging economies start its just that america did it along time ago now they want to frown on china for doing it. at least the african are getting paid. and they have a chance to make life a little better.

Honestly not right now, but I'm working on an idea with a friend of mine from Zambia.

What if we use a well established business practice of "networking" . Removing the myth of African American & African can't get along. I'm planning a trip to Jo-berg in the near future. I hoping to discover some business opportunities.

Good idea. Get it started and I will follow in your foot steps. I'm just too busy with a few other projects to take this on myself.

man lets go down to africa and build export companies. we have the money, training and experience and we can change stuff. i know this nigerian guy who is a millionaire now after coming here 10 years ago. he owns with some white folks an oil company. look at all these hispanics. they operate their businesses from the USA and put it on the stock market and market them products on our market making money behind.

Brothers, if we can come up with a company and get a contract back over there, and export diamond here in the US just like the asians do. manufacture goods and textiles and bring it here. remember africa is closer to the east coast than asia

When I first heard about this awhile back I thought it was a good idea but after thinking about and hearing about the treatment of the locals,how things really aren't changing and that china's sole purpose is capital.

I see in the future a revolt against china.

great idea,I would love to invest in africa,help their economy,and make myself some extra cash.

China, Amerikkka, what difference does it make if both countries are just over there to exploit Africa? At least AmeriKKKa puts on an act of equality and opportunity for all. China is a communist regime that takes no shit from its own people, let alone Africans. Racism in China is an inherent part of their whole superiority attitude. If you're darker than average, you're looked down upon and its considered normal. Given a chance China will do as much, if not more damage than the Europeans have.

Don't get shit twisted. China is not over in Africa out of kindness, they're trying to get 1st dibs on the oil and uranium they need to drive their economy.

good brother, lets all come together and export diamonds and other stuff here to the US. we can create jobs over there and make lot of profits just like uncle sam is doing in the phillipines. at the same time, if they have jobs, they can buy our own products like rocawear, sean john. damn i am telling yall the money is in africa and that's why the white folks trying to erase them brothers with diseases, war and hate. look if we do that in one country, others will join the movement and open their arms to us.

i think some type of deal with African Americans and other Diaspora groups in the Americas to exchange resources is done by the African Union. the Union consists of 53 African Countries.

i do not know the details but there is some relationship in the works.

i am sorry i have no link.
