Many people know that the continent has investments in Africa, but what is the attitude of Africans towards China?
The whole world knows that the United States is strong, and when the Americans go to Africa and say: Don't cooperate with China, how did the Africans choose?
Yesterday, Singapore's Asia Television interviewed people from all walks of life in Africa on the topic of "China and the United States compete for influence in Africa." What's more, a large number of Africans spontaneously left messages under the news, and Da Liu took you to see the truth.
Media: China has invested more than $47 billion, the United States has invested $350 million
The interview with Asia TV began with the background of Chinese investment in Africa.
By the end of 2022, China's stock of direct investment in Africa exceeded US$47 billion. According to figures released by the White House, the amount of US investment in Africa is $350 million. At the same time, China has accepted a large number of roads, bridges, parks and other infrastructure projects in Africa, and has successfully implemented and delivered them.
Uganda was interviewed by the head of the media: "China, reliable partners, you can learn a lot from them. ”
The head of the media interviewed in South Sudan: "South Sudan has a lot of mineral resources, there is no doubt about it. But we don't have the funds to start it, so when the Belt and Road project starts, it's a good opportunity for us. ”
Congo commentator: "China has built dams, hospitals, and schools for Congo, and has helped Congo develop minerals. When roads and bridges are being built, the Americans are not seen, and when a mineral cooperation agreement is signed, the United States will stand up and put pressure on the government. ”
People: The U.S. exports inflation and war, China exports electric cars and trade
The following is a message from the African people, the whole video has a total of 381 comments so far, space is limited, I intercepted the highest according to the popularity of the comments, only translation, without any deletion.
There are too many to take screenshots one by one, I believe that seeing this, you already have the answer.
A little personal thought
Frankly, before I saw the messages from the African people, I was still worried that someone would lie in front of the camera. I am also worried that China's investment will go down the drain. After all, many parts of Africa are relatively turbulent and underdeveloped. Those loans are the blood and sweat of the Chinese, and if a government in Africa defaults on its debts, it may be difficult to deal with them.
But after reading the impossibility of falsifying the comments in the comment area, I suddenly felt a little more, these investments, bought shares in African minerals, and got orders for African infrastructure. More importantly, it has gained the recognition and trust of the African people.
People's hearts are flesh and blood, and it is certainly possible to occasionally produce one or two "anti-bones", but when a country's positive image is established, the trust that can be gained in which region is priceless.
What is your view on China's investment in Africa and its aid to Africa? Feel free to leave a message in the comment area
