- China's presence is visible all over Africa. But nowhere as much as in Zambia, the African nation where it invested the most money last year. The ties between Beijing and Lusaka are strong and have existed for decades. Today, China possesses one third of Zambia's national debt. It has invested in the mining and industrial sectors, but also in agriculture. Some Zambians denounce this Chinese presence as a form of neo-colonialism.
The Chinese are doing to Zambians what the British did but with a big smile
🚶♀️
My point is, this is the same thing in a different font.
Year? 🙃
There is a big difference: you may say NO to China and nothing would happen. Try to say NO to British and you will be welcomed by bomb, bullet, coup, civil war, revolution and section.
@anc then leave Africa and Africans!
Nobody else is helping ....they weren't even helping themselves ... if they didn't want help they should have mentioned it
@@yidingliu7575 Hahahaha thanks Chinese state media. Now tell me Taiwan is it's own country????????????? Oh wait you can't.. because China said it's not haha
What idiots! Forced to wear masks and all employees are blowing into the same breatheliser at the start of their shift! 🙄 This should be spread far and wide to show what others can expect!
"Your mask is not covering your nose!"
Very depressing to watch, we need to blame ourselves. Even if they invest, why aren’t they proper rules of engagement to protect the citizens.
My heart ache for the Zambian people. It is a sad situation. Corruption is all over Africa. My heart goes out to the Zambian people.Continue to expose corruption in Zambia.
Here in Zambia we don't want Chinese people but our president allows them to stay here . No wonder we want to change the president who can care about us. Zambia must belong to the Zambians people not Chinese 😥
Yes your President is getting paid that is why allows them to stay. Zambia needs President
like the late Jerry Rawlings and all those corrupt leaders will be in big trouble.
@anc and what are you?we AFRICANS,with our ungratefulness,go your way and we will gratefully take ours,hopefully never to meet again,BYE GO WELL
@@kennethmapimhidze8914 true story
@Ismail Fakri exactly
Zambian people are lovely. They are a joy.
The problem is not the Chinese, but leadership without a vision for its own people. All that Zambians need is a government that believes in empowering its own people first and powering up the Industrialization opportunities. Making loans to native Zambians accessible. Make sure that your land policy do not encourage land grab by foreigners to avoid a slave like situation for the next generation. Leadership is indeed a problem and colonization is still in the mind of many locals. How can you imagine another human being as angel instead of exploring your human potential. Wake Up
I believe the entire regime is compromised my brother, African leaders must come together to librate zambia
The problem is them wtf.?
Well said
Is this different from the last one? 📺 ( which was excellent )
I think it's the same. It's just the "réchauffer"
Longer version of the same 🥺
Kenyans you see where we are heading
Exactly
You believe these western people
Wake up, Africaaaaaa!
BEWARE !!!! ........If you're not careful, your country will be just like Singapore today......
Influence? Or colonization?
The way the colonizers do it today it’s still primarily taking ore or unrefined oil and proccess it overseas. Hell until recently they didn’t even allow chocolate to be produced in the places they git the cocoa from.
Chinese development may have it’s flaws but comparatively speaking with the alternatives it’s better and less culturally, financially and politically intrusive.
@Christopher Meisner it's industrialize，傻X

Chinese all over Africa big time have been for years ..
These are our colonial masters in Zambia. If I had a way i would leave this country. I am not proud of our leadership
What france did to africa few decades before they expect same from china.
The way I see, China has an excess population of 1.5 billion people, so they are running out of land. In Africa there is plenty od land available.
You need to go!
If Zambia IS Not Careful Colonialists Will Come Back, In The Form Of Investors. - Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe
Its already happening
"it's not the foreigners, it's us"
Ignorance of accepting crule men's kindness will bring many generations to suffer new tyranny and new kinds of slavery.
It is also happening in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹.
The government is borrowing money 💰 from China 🇨🇳 and giving lots of contracts to families and friends.
Its because there are visionless pensioners running the country.
'Zambia under Chinese influence' The title seems a bit rude, giving the notion that the State is behind it all when it is not.
The Chinese state is responsible, this is part of their "Belt and road" initiative
@@mrmikerileyNo!! It's the leaders that borrowing Chinese money. They didn't come there by force but by red carpet.
Good reporting
I think the French did a good job in this documentary. I think they tried to get the perspectives of the people there involved in the Zambian projects 👍
France is a more evil country, their influence in africa is jz the definition of modern slavery! ask the west african nations under their indirect rule..
Modern day slavery
Nope! If USA did this they ll call it as international aid/help!
But why t hurts if China increase its influence man? 🤣
Yangu tata Lesa , zambia twasebana😪😪🇿🇲 otherwise as a zambian I appreciate the documentary
The modified kenny rogers song, i'm dead, (LOL)
in Uganda, Chinese language was added to our curriculum. Their intentions now seem clear and they could be good or bad but I definitely know a price will be paid in the long run.
Honestly Feels like am watching a low-key slavery movie in its manifestation.
Languages enrich ones life, the more the merrier.
So depressing! How did African leaders sell Africa to China! These documentary made me sad!
My heart bleeds watching this from my home country, these foreigners are poor from where they come from that's why they could never go back. In as much as the country is engulfed by corruption, we also have progressive issues in the county that the western media won't show but western media focuses on this type of documentary thereby portraying Africa as a useless place.
Same! This documentary made me so sad! I have no words!
Let these westerners continue writing rubbish , while the Chinese take over, have you not noticed they settle down amongst us and marry our people.
Westerners make us poorer
I am in tears watching this wow.
The irony of a French news channel talking about Chinese neocolonialism when the French and other western countries are doing the exact same thing
where do you see Europeans INVESTING in African countries?
I prefer the Chinese , they are not perfect but far better, or what alternatives do we have
The most bizarre thing about this is them being encouraged to wear masks and then using the same plastic conductor for the breathalyzer test. I've been to sheesha spots with better hygiene even before covid!
Zambia is the only country in Africa who are still slaves in their own country, shame
Not the only country
Change is needed
Superb 👏 an Oscar worthy documentary 🎞
Am from Ethiopia I don't like it at all in the name of investing controlling the resource yet not changing the life of the citizen why not the government producing the mine and sail to China what's the miracle to do so I shout out wake up!!! Please Africa help your self no one come to do that 😏
Sorry but your people didnt have technologies knowledge and money for investment, didnt have big market and high corruption.. if the goverment take an action then it be a chaos.. the best change is learning and take an action..
Look at what is happening in South African now .we are not idiots like u are thinking come on tell the Chinese to keep investing we are watching very soon want is happening in South Africa now will befall them tell them we will not pay their bogus debts
I wonder if Afghanistan will be like this.
Seems a bit humiliating but oh well.
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 in Future 💔
The young people need to educate themselves wholistically and realize tbe future of Africa depends on them. To not spend all their time on non-educational nonsense on social media from the West, and brianwashed to be materialistic. They need to become more socially conscious; and stand up for their rights in unity with one accord.
The Chinese are building large luxurious houses for themselves on lots of land while the Zambians need tbe land for agriculture; and they bring their antibiotic , toxic GMO-fed chickens to overtake the locals naturally fed chickens. They took their lands, bulldoze their houses, and deport them to delapidated houses with the no water and impassable road with no community amenities such as a clinic or hospital. The problem is they need Africa but they do not want to share . They want to always have a much greater advantage and their well-being taken care of with suffering and loss to the local Africans.
I'm not African, I'm not Western, and I'm not Asian either.
The only way for the West to combat Chinese influence in Africa is by making greater investments. The question remains, without Chinese investments, what would be left to the natives?
The problem of the West is that it makes a promise and in exchange for that promise it makes a lot of demands, but profits never reach of the country.
The West has dominated financial assets, the Chinese are dominating commodities, it's just a political fight. Western companies like to own everything without paying for anything, the Chinese can create everything, but they demand control of everything they build.
In this question there I don't see any serious error of chinese people.
if you not asian, african or white then what are you please?
@@averyj5446 Latin American
Sorry, we don't need any foreign investors particularly the west, they have kept beautiful Africa they way it today.
I think the speed at development may look bewildering for a lot of Chinese
Everybody put their mouth on the same thing that's not safe
How are they serve in blowing into that thing from COVID-19.????
France what is it problem u Europeans bout slave Chinese building factory which one is better
Jealous😂😂
None is better
Bravo Zambia China is the best investment for Zambia people win win
The Chinese and other foreigners can come. Just make sure they give locals good conditions. Don't let them make us work like elephants and pay us peanuts.
The Government of Zambia must set rules for everything Chinese to include English equivalent.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also Chinese need to orient with sensitivity training to respect the indigenous culture... before resentment builds.🔥🔥🔥🔥
A re-upload?
So this is the famous " Zambians are not ambitious documentary" ahh
First of all, there are are still tens of thousands British or Dutch people still occupying land that are not theirs in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. They should return back the land.
This is really sad....tf
😒😒😒😒😒😒😒
if you can't feed your people,then complain those who come from abroad and invested in your country,giving jobs to your fellow country men,go think twice.
The fact that you can’t feed your people does not open doors for one to come in the name of investment to loot your resources, if China truly want to help, let them give the Zambian people the technology to mine their own copper and import to china
Feeling bad for Zambians
France cinema en Libya Mali Lebanon Sudan Somalia & union Africa ,,,,, France big big big nazi razzismo fascismo for union Africa
17:46 is so dehumanising I can’t even imagine 😢
We who are watching are sorry for the Zambian people. We need to pray and fast to Yashua for his supernatural help. If Akubaland/Africa not careful they will slip right back into slavery.
African countries can choose to carry on waiting for their past colonial masters to return and help them, carry on living in poverty, as their past masters did so by design. Alternatively, get help from China and learn and build modern industries and infrastructures for themselves.
Wake up guys!
Help from China under forest destruction? Is it help? Let's see the answer in a near future.
By having slashed eyes 🙄
@@katiavulpes7754 The Zambian environmentalist already said it on the video. Blaming foreign countries is out of the question. Forest destruction is not caused by China. Blame the Zambia political leaders. And also China helped their country more than the west.
Ignore the idiots. I believe that China is more an asset than liability to Africans
If you want to help, give them the technology to mine their own copper and sell it to you, and stop buying lands in Zambia, lease them with the intent to return them to the rightful owners
No worries it’s our Land one day they will leave as fast as they came 🏃🏽♂️
It wiil be Chinese country and that day will never come and there is to much people
in China so millions of Chinese will be moving to Zambia and Africa. G in the next ten
years Zambia lands will be Chineses

Sit and wait till they put military bases there and then we can see who will have the balls to ask them to leave
Zambia should learn and take advantage of chinese presence , they are clever and will help you reach your goals.

How can someone come to Zambia to rear pigs and he has brought all his clan elderly mother to make fun zambians people's colour. This is insulting. Zambians vote wisely remove Patriotic front from government we know you are angry even with current increased death rate due covid careless handling and no planing by government.
