@brokenglasscountry: Despite the abuses, China is not colonizing Africa #africa #ghana #china #geopolitics #economics

John Mahama current run is easily the best Ghana has been in a while, but it depends on African people to fight for ourselves. Mahama could easily regulate all of that if he wanted to so blaming China is just pointless

the West keep coup ing any government that tries to diverge from cheap low added value exports ... just look at the Sahel region where France and Ukraine are causing chaos to the point Burkina Faso leader had to call them out still they didn't stop

If i dont force you and you agree on certain terms with me why would i be more concerned about your interests than mine,you have the choice and you take it.

AncientGod :

Can you elaborate more on the Chinese labour being the more moral option? I agree that European powers would make the local people do the work and then ran off with most of the profit. However, isn't there a similar scenario now except for the race of the workers being Chinese?

Alright it’s not true that there has been no effort to put resources into industrialization/resource harvesting. Several projects exist across the continent, This conversation is difficult when all of Africa, the second largest continent is defined together. I get there’s precedent for it but it’s innacurate when these countries can differ in conditions and plans by so much

ruz :

do you know more political tiktok commentators or information broker? I follow torin russels and henry fudge and I want to really know more about economic situation from different countries and how they influence geopolitical situations.

yernasaraus :

They had all of this time to develop like the rest of the world, we can’t trust them to operate the systems necessary to extract those resources.. so the rest of the world has to step in

Hopecorelover :

The cia started the smear campaign

2000 odd years to develop and now they moan.

Hi, I’m the original creator from the beginning. I found the video interesting, and there are some points I partially agree with. However, my main issue is the repeated use of “Africa” or “African countries” as though the continent were one country with a single economic experience. You need to be specific about which countries you’re referring to. For example, the claim that African countries have made no efforts to industrialise is simply wrong, and Ghana is a clear counterexample. Ghana has a long history of deliberate industrialisation efforts. Following independence in 1957, the government pursued industrialisation, investing in state-owned enterprises, manufacturing, processing industries, building materials and machinery. The World Bank documents how these policies initially helped Ghana’s manufacturing sector grow from around 2% of total output in 1957 to 9%. Ghana adopted a National Industrial Policy in 2010, improving manufacturing capacity, productivity and product quality. There is also measurable evidence of an existing manufacturing sector. World Bank data show that manufacturing accounted for approximately 10.6% of Ghana’s GDP in 2024, demonstrating that manufacturing is an established part of the economy, not something the country has made no effort to develop. Now, I’m not arguing that Ghana has fully industrialised or that its industrial policies have been entirely successful But that is a very different argument from claiming that no efforts have been made. The distinction is between attempting to industrialise, achieving sustained industrial growth, and successfully transforming an economy into a manufacturing powerhouse. These are three different things. If your argument is that particular countries have struggled to industrialise, name those countries specifically.

The illegal mining destroys most of our water bodies and our most important rivers. The drone footage of the mining sites is so appealing that the land cannot be repurposed. I know our corrupt politicians need to be ashamed of giving these Chinese companies the opportunity to carry out such an environmental abomination, but a respected country such as china should be having the capacity to sanction companies who go abroad to carry out illegal operations, which I’m sure the government is aware of by now.

Take it or leave it, CHINA iIS exploiting African resources and they treat African workers poorly

ton :

very good argument, african tribal leaders deserved colonization because they signed treaties voluntarily with europeans

Pretending China isn't conducting neo Colonialism in Africa is wild. That's not even Chinas only colonial project, the entire belt and road initiative is about creating colonys for China.

22 :

it’s just neo-colonialism lmao. china doesn’t have the best interest in africa. what happened with the AU headquarters in 2012? China funded the African Union’s headquarters in 2012 but was later spying on it through the building’s technology. China is using investments in Africa to gain political influence and create economic dependency, a form of neocolonialism.
