China’s New Silk Road: the Global Ambitions of the Chinese Economy (documentary)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- Chinese president XI Jinping has named it the ‘project of the century.’ Since 2013 China has invested billions into bringing the ‘Middle Kingdom’ to the forefront of global economics and international politics.
What China has baptised ’The New Silk Road’ allows a pair of trainers to be transported by train from China to France in less than two weeks. But they also act as a vehicle for a wave of Chinese expansionism across the world.
In Gwadar, Pakistan, China is excavating a giant port, as well as a spectacular highway that crosses the Himalayas, in order to open the doors to the warm seas. At the limits of their Russian borders in central Asia, along a new railway line that serves Europe, Chinese entrepreneurs have installed special economic zones and casinos in the middle of the desert. Further afield than Beijing, in Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, the Chinese state has recently established a military port, a stone’s throw from the American and French bases, as well as building an ultra modern railway serving Ethiopia. In the wake of these movements, Chinese businesses are swooping down on east African markets, hoping to make the region one of the new workshops of the world.

Always trying to find a negative angle to China's Silk Road.
propaganda is the ONLY thing that is left in the west apart from war.
the whole world can see U$EU led west is no longer competitive, hence the constant propa and sanctions every single day.
Yes expecting China to be a charity country... 😂
Atleast the Chinese are not killing them,but building infrastructure
But killing in the name of democracy is justfified, dude!
The purpose of the interview is very clear. It is to show the problems of the the Belt and Road and use language to check the opposition between manufacturing workers and Chinese investors. As always, using small incidents to imply unfair treatment. However, it did not mention the various damages caused by these countries during the colonization of "noble" European and American countries, the plundering of resources and the trafficking of human beings. Without China's intervention, these countries would still be impoverished. China used to be a poor country and the most understanding of settling down. Western media, who are accustomed to good times, can solve their own immigration problems before reporting on others.
Manufacturing is a laborious and low profit industry. TSMC has returned to the United States, but the project has not been promoted during this period. Why? Because Americans cannot tolerate the hard work and strict discipline in the manufacturing industry. Ordinary Chinese people endure the separation of their loved ones and the poor living environment in order to seek a better life.
A wise man can tell both sides of the matter, but a fool can only swallow what the media feeds
The purpose of this "western documentary" is just like all other "western documentaries", propaganda to hype up the fear of China.
Can't compete so the west relies on the only thing they have left propaganda either that or go to war with China.
How pathetic can one get, instead of innovating and reducing corruption in the west, we chose propaganda.
Can't agree more. The interview is too bad to misleading audience. In China, want to be rich, built road first. With factory and port, local goverment and people have more chance to upgrade their life. Otherwise, you will always live in a poor life.
This is the most useless argument of the Year 2023

Man this is just a propaganda video and nothing. Funded by PRC. Don't get fooled by their propoganda videos.
China is the leading country in the world, they have worked day and night, and still working, may be in couple of years, they will be the great super power, they are ambitious to achieve their target to become the super power, Chinese have achieved excellent progress in every field. the whole appreciate their hardworking .
The Belt and Road Initiative of China is sharing development, which is conducive to China and the people of the country they participate. Excuse me, which developing countries have helped Western countries?
China has no interest to fight wars, but work hard and cooperate with everyone who is willing. Very different from the US and its little brothers.

It just want political influence in Pakistan 🇵🇰 that it has because USA 🇺🇸 IMF/ WORLD Bank 🏦 kind of owns Pakistan 🇵🇰. 90% of Pakistan 🇵🇰 debt is to USA 🇺🇸.

thank you for confirming it becos oversea Chinese people like me do not know if BRI helps other nations.
Working both hard and smart is what I grasp from this....with everything else constant,China is really investing overseas.
they really having the world pulling out from china
This is real progress and development it’s so impressive to see.
No, it is not only for china economy ambition but china ambition for shared future, the one ideal concept for most nations. Every country, big or small should live in harmony, shared future as china plans it. No dictating and ruling like america does to smaller weaker countries.
China's BRI provides hope for poor countries able to develop. It is like a bank coming to a poor village with no hope. Now they have jobs, electicity , clean water, good transportation links railway that's better than USA and western countries...
Never before they hoped.
Now they have hope and GDP now very high
Kudos to China
Don’t kid yourselves
@@gayeinggs5179
Well with all the developments, do you see India go round helping EVEN ONE country.
Do you see lots of development like having modern facilities e.g, electricity , water , roads, top class railways etc
Would these have been possible without China ? Which country had provided real development to these poor countries?
You are just sour grapes .
Try prove me wrong . I know you cant.

😮 The Sri Lanka existed for many years by being bankrupt? Jealousy of China won't help anyone . Silk Road improves people economically 😅.now they're speaking french in future will speak Chinese other African languages.
There is nothing sinister about China's Silk Road ambitions. As everyone has seen! Most people in African countries have been colonized by Western colonialism for hundreds of years and until now, they still continue to be extremely poor with an income of less than 2 USD/day. Why is that? Because Western colonialism only cares about greedily exploiting poor people, and plundering the natural resources of colonial countries to bring wealth to their own countries. Although the Chinese have ambitions to expand and dominate the world, they are not as greedy and selfish as Western colonialists. On the contrary, they bring money and technology to other countries to invest. Doing business with the goal of mutual benefit. Thus, if countries around the world are forced to choose between two evil people, they will certainly prioritize choosing a less evil person like China.
don't blame the west. african countries do it to themselves.
But the local people in the clothing factory get only $56 per month from the Chinese. This was said in the video. That is even lower than $2 per day!
56 dollars a month is ridiculous,how can they afford their lives with such a salary
@@songyangLi-pg7yf yes I agree. NMT above probably did not hear that section in the video. I think that the Chinese will exploit African populations even more than the western cultures did. Like it has demonstrated with its own, Chinese people too. Communistic regime with many dirty secrets.
I agree with you. Neither are ideal for everyone. But China definitely has a more appealing sales pitch. I saw figures on their "deal" offered to many African countries to help with infrastructure only to lead the countries into being unofficially owned by China after numbers aren't met. If I'm wrong, the program did a great job stating facts and sources to make me believe a lie.
Built a car in less than 1 minute who can compete with that? Europe RIP

The documentary is good but why not also provide detailed statistics on the number of jobs created,impact on the economies of the various countries.That will provide a balanced view of analysing whether the developments are good or bad.
because they don't care what happend in Africa ,they only work for their own sponsor
除了中国的扩张野心以及一带一路国家债务陷井和失去土地的农民,西方人和和西方媒体不会报道的任何一带一路的正面价值。
Agree
The reason is this video is Western narrative and propaganda.
That would be a really long video 👀
China is a vital partner for Africa's infrastructure development. America creates wars and build military bases while China builds infrastructures. That's the fundamental difference between these two countries.
In USA.... there is the Silicon Valley. In ASIA........there is the Silicon Route---->
from Chongjing to Europe.
History revealed that the Silk route & the Spice route involved Chinese Civilisation.
The Silk Road -- The bridge between East and West, the gold of trade and commerce of Asia Middle East and Europe.
The mirror of change of Euro Asia.
Everyone wants the same thing, as long as you have the permission and not come in with bombs and weapons, I think it's a win win for everyone!
no offense but the last part with fishermen is not the silk roads fault. overpopulation and pollution, which was cleary seen is the problem with fish going away
China focus the economic and made the world peace, but America should break to support the weapons to other countries.
China's ambition is world peace and prosperity
🤣🤣🤣🤣might wanna do your research on how they have the largest espionage network in the entire world built to destroy infrastructure from the inside out

Il ne faut pas être jaloux du programme/ projet chinois (Route de la soie). Il faut simplement développer aussi des projets de grande envergure comme la Route de la soie. L'important : pas de mensonge, de vol/ pillage, de crime, de coups bas,... Bravo pour la Chine!!!
Oui, bravo
Those who don't like working with the Chinese silk road project unfortunately have limited opportunity to look forward to other than human trafficking project to try to reach the West, these countries are anti immigrants and also don't offer much opportunity other than manual labor they don't even recognize medical degree from the South so you see a physician from Djibouti or Somalia working as a taxi driver and they are anti Islamic and anti- immigrants too
Don't let the French reporter and French language fool you France has nothing but racism and lip service human rights speech to offer to Africa
Plus even French immigrants both legal and illegal immigrants wish they never left their homeland and have the opportunity to work in the Chinese Silk road
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Special thanks to guest speakers. Sharing personal information pertaining to daily economic activity. Making this documentary more authentic and possible -!!!😉
There is a lots of western bias & take in this documentary. BRI is beneficial to all involved, its not only beneficial for China only. BRI is opening up trade between all willing countries peacefully. The road, rail tracks and port builded in the contry are all controlled by its own country. The BRI is designed with GREEN in mind & itis a planet saver once the electricity are all green.
BRI is not only for trade it is also building friendship & relationship, provide employments, joint innovation and R&D work, protecting planet & world natural heritage. These BRI projects & developments had lifted billion of poor people out of poverty in the rest of the world in the last couple of decades.
The choice of words were totally sickening !
@@jimmylam9846 Nowaday Truth is sickening to the main stream.
From Vietnam, it’s very clear Chinese manipulate and control the economy of smaller, poorer countries. Chinese are colonizing Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, etc…
Chinese built dams and damaged Mekong river which is the main source of water for farming.
Chinese built corrupt governments of those colonies.
There’s no way to stop Chinese ambition. They will dominate the world with all corrupt satellite colonies. Evils win.
BRICS is like a fly stuck in a spider’s web.
This vídeo helps me to see that chine is doing what Europe could never do for our continent . Now is up to us to manage this relationship
I love the ‘baits’ here, insights of some things after it’s constructions/established, the benefits and also the ‘baits’.
Good for China! Why shouldn't China do what the USA thinks only it has the right to do - namely economically dominate the world. If the Chinese bring high quality affordable products into Europe, then I fully support them.

China is investing so much to help developing nations, yet, the WEST still continues to promoting conflicts and colonization
It's not as if the Chinese will be in charge indefinitely on the train operations. Didn't it say it will be handed over in 2024, so I don't see what's the problem? I bet under French occupation, their lives weren't much better, if not worse. I mean if the French and other colonisers have done great works in Africa and for its people, the continent would have been rich now after so many decades of western rule. The Western Powers could have developed the continent economically, couldn't it and China doesn't even have the chance to do so because it had become so developed. The way I see it is China doesn't point a gun at the Govt and force them to participate in this BRI thing. The local Govt could choose to say no and remain the same as where they are. Do remember the Western Powers didn't give Africa that option, they literally plundered the whole continent, whether the locals like it or not. But there are a few things China could have done is to understand the sentiments of locals better instead of assuming that what they do benefit the locals.
So I have freight goods in the amount of $500 millions, with $100,000 insurance fees. If I hired a local and is untrustworthy, would I hire you where there is possibility of stolen goods? If it's my train, why don't I have a say to whom I hire?
With $500 million worth of goods, I won't risk it. It's a trust issue.
don't forget this is just another propa hit piece by the west, so typical
Western media should report more colonial history, see what they have done to the African people, instead of complaining of Chinese investment.

You have got to hand it to China they are very. Clever
thanks to the channel who brings this kind of information video its really the best documentary.
garbage documentary
In many cases, the situation cannot be explained based on actual facts. It is only suppressed with an entirely negative view. Would it be the same if Western countries did the same thing? Western countries are not cooperating, but are only trying to make regional cooperation favorable to themselves by attaching conditions under the guise of humanitarianism, and have no intention of providing help. However, since China provides help to many poor countries through win-win policies, my stomach hurts. Don’t mislead people with reports like this!
Simple answer: Communism is evil.
Once Congress becomes Central Govt of India hope we will also have good relations with China

I disagree with the documentary that Africa is to be conquered. You should use words like invest, better opportunity, or as plainly as making profit, instead of using colonial words.

Why focusing on the negative part of the BRI , Gwadar. Why dont you talk about the huge benefits of jobs , trade , access to ports etc?
Do a report of the positive part of the BRI, which are plenty.
China is the ONLY entity in the world that helps poor countries of no hope ...
let's face it, this doco is typical of western propa
China’s achievement in all aspect of life is the greatest accomplishment for humanity for China itself and the entire world..
'They say low wages are a reality if we want to compete abroad'
27:22 You filmed an unqualified person who wants to be a train driver, which is dangerous for the train and it's not a good story too.
Yes, the film deliberately omitted the translation where the young man in Mandarin asked the senior train operator "what do these (controls) mean or do?" Very dishonest reporting.

Don't sound like the narrator likes the fascinating plan of the Belt & Road project. He used the word concocted. Yes, if the Western colonialist vagabonds aren't murdering people or kidnapping them as in slavery it's not a generous idea.😊😊😊
