  • Gyude Moore speaks about China’s expanding presence in Africa at the Paulson Institute's Contemporary China Speakers Series on March 5, 2019.
    W. Gyude Moore is a visiting fellow at the Center for Global Development. He previously served as Liberia’s Minister of Public Works with oversight over the construction and maintenance of public infrastructure from December 2014 to January 2018. Prior to that role, Moore served as Deputy Chief of Staff to President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and Head of the President’s Delivery Unit (PDU). As Head of the PDU, his team monitored progress and drove delivery of the Public Sector Investment Program of Liberia-a program of over $1 billion in road, power, port infrastructure, and social programs in Liberia after the civil war. As one of the President’s trusted advisors, he also played a crucial role in supporting President Sirleaf as Liberia responded to the West Africa Ebola outbreak and shaped its post-Ebola outlook. His research tracks the channels of private sources of finance, the rise of China and its expanding role in Africa, and Africa’s response to these changes. He holds a BS in Political Science from Berea College and an MS in Foreign Service from Georgetown University.

    "It seems U.S. response in Africa were not driven by Africans's needs but by the need to stop what China is doing in Africa" one of the most powerfulest quotes I've ever heard and very well articulated !

      If the chinese werent ripping of Africans just as other nations have, maybe people would learn instead of having a problem with it. People are waiting to see the real motives of the notoriously sneaky people. Africa has the funding it needs to develop. It more so needs collective problem solving and corruption control than foreign "saviors". Maybe we are concerned because we have had experience trusting and getting burned.

      @@4thAct I wish I could post my entire report I did last week on it. The corruption is disgusting and they really are taking advantage. However with chinese investment and "charity" towards countries mineral rich or those with long standing political ties, the problem is silenced. If a country speaks out against the injustice, china demands silence or threatens to pull relations. Check Guinea and Iron ore. And check Australia and China's dealings with that.. put two and two together. Do the research. Its written all over the wall in red.

      exactly, the west basically enslaves Africa and stole resources from Africa leaving nothing but religions. while china is investing in a lot of sectors. if you are an investor, you know that you must guard your investment against losing it. that is why having china on your side is not bad at all. the western media propaganda is saying Africa is colonized by china and other things including asking its allies to attack china, forming 5 eyes alliance, etc, while the Chinese are busy working and dealing with things. you can see how the American economy and the British economy are sinking now, and their government does not care about their people, you can see it from how they handle covid, how many people get infected, and how many people die is not because of their gov cares or give a damn about their people.

      They are HEAVILY invested in Africa remaining poor. It is tied to their self esteem and self image. If everyone (and especially blacks) are under their foot and need their Doctors Without Borders they feel like they are superior and helping the needy

You can see the guest speaker chuckle and point out that this question always comes up. I like his answer, first time I've heard this fact, China's restructured payments 87 times and only 1 time has there been a debt equity swap. During Covid19 China has provided debt relief to African countries.

There were and still are African tribes that hate each other over some arbitrary ethnic or religious belief. The same Africans who were catching and selling their countrymen to the slavers in the 17th century because they saw them as lesser too.
      It’s amazing how upset you are at countries being racist years ago whilst accepting a country that carries out ethnic cleansings in this day and age.

That feeling comes from the idea that their country is far more developed than others ("richer"). So if we want to eliminate racism (fully or partly), we first need to make our own country more developed etc.
      2. Poverty is horrible! And yes, we Chinese have experienced it too. Poverty means: no budget for anything. No good school, no clean water or good hygiene, continuously thinking how to survive day to day as there is no money for food/medicine etc. When there's poverty, there's also an increase of crime. All in all, poverty sucks. No one should live in poverty. To my opinion Africa doesn't deserve to be "poor" as the continent itself is super rich of natural resources.

However, consider about the development levels and economic scales in africa, infrastructures are what african countries urgently need now. how can a toddler learn to run before he can walk ? Africa must have a base for economic growth, such as infrastructure , education and a stable social environment, before they have equal trades with businessmen, then they can seek for higher standard of trade, economic and financial development.

      They asked issues only first worlders care about but on the ground in developing countries in Africa and China alike, the main issues are infrastructure, education, food and adding value that can form strong economic foundations for the future. Which is why Moore said that while these are important issues, they are ultimately irrelevant in the face of what China offered, and what China have accomplished in Africa and it probably really grated on these privileged first worlders.
      "What about racism? Chinese are terrible, aren't they? Are you regretting being treated like shit?"
      "Yes, that is a bad problem, but we have schools, hospitals, roads and power stations now and people are actually going to have a future in Africa so we will address racism when it is actually relevant. Plus we were actually treated with respect by the Chinese government far more than western governments. Next question!"

Instances the speaker alluded to in China differ from what is occurring in the U.S. and Europe in that in the U.S. and much of Europe, the racism is manifested throughout the government and elected officials at the highest levels. Because the Chinese leadership are intelligent enough to recognize that blatant display and practice of racism by the govt. or individual citizens is counter productive to the overall Chinese development strategy, sincere effort to eradicate racism is underway. Due to the authoritarian legacy of China, racism won't ever become as pronounced or prevalent as it is in, let's say, MS, GA, TN or other states throughout the U.S. If the Chinese do not suçceed in vanquishing racism, altogether, and soon, you can bet that in due time, racism will become so negligible, it will not even be mentioned in the future, relative Africans.

Once the Chinese CCP is invested in a country, they basically have them hostage. The country's growth becomes dependent on those state-owned companies staying in the country, so they will be forced to do whatever China says, which is set out by an authoritarian dictatorship who use massive propaganda campaigns. The west might not bail out Africa or even help them much aside from private business investment, but what if China changes in the future for the worse? There is absolutely nothing stopping them from turning bad, and they already have done that to the west, except by attracting investments and then requiring them to follow more and more of the government's arbitrary laws if they want to keep doing business there. In China they literally have / have had slave labor camps in their country for religious minorities within the past 5 years. You're just going to let them force their will on you? Keep your autonomy.

      ​@Alexander Nakamura Everything that I wrote hinges on the past actions of the CURRENT CCP government. Sorry, but thinking all "western values" are anathema to all Chinese people is absolutely incorrect. Not all western people believe the same ideology, and neither do all Asians, so grouping people together and saying that "western values" or "Chinese values" are invalid to one another is incredibly ignorant. The CCP's internment and enslavement of ethnic minorities also has helped Chinese people a lot! Hasn't really helped the Uighurs though, for they live in fear every day along with anyone who proposes a change of government. My question to you is; do the ends justify the means? If you have to force Chinese people and foreigners through gross means to do things against their will, is that acceptable on a world stage? I'm not saying all Chinese support this. I'm saying the government forces its people to be ok with it.
      Please, show me the source for your information about China alleviating poverty.
      Assuming that African governments don't have the ability to negotiate a good deal with mega corporations is also a bit condescending to the African people, don't you think? It is wrong to think that the African leaders wouldn't be able make their own decisions. You can't say that the CCP doesn't do the very same if not worse things to the environment, and to the people which it previously colonized (the Uighurs) and are treating like crap.
      No shit, I have my own perspective based on many different sources? Should I just get my information from a central authority that always claims to know best?
      You call me a "western hypocrite" but fail to point out any hypocrisy. In the distant past, colonial countries really screwed with their colonies. All of them, because they could with their autocratically governed countries. In a capitalist system (with few state-run businesses) the regulation of the practices of those companies is done by the local government. This means that the governments in Africa could regulate them. However, if a state is investing in another state, the investor will have power over the investee. That is a clear conflict of interest, and could lead to corruption that could negatively affect the African people. The CCP is inherently corrupt because it has no rule of law. The great thing about rule of law is that the laws can be changed through activism if they are found to be unjust. Once the investment is made, it is owed unless the assets can be resold. Many of these projects will lose much of their value over years and the investees will be stuck with the CCP-run operation unless they want to foot the bill on the entire project. If the CCP were to fix its rights issues, start doing elections, and start collaborating with allies in a ways that are ACTUALLY mutually beneficial in the long term and respectful I would be satisfied. The CCP is inherently corrupt because there is no accountability for them. Seems like all of the CCP's dealing eventually will become one sided much like you claim America is. hmm.
      I know a lot about the CCP's abusive regime and how they try to silence people, just like you are trying to do. In a fascist society where the citizens aren't ruling the country, the country can do whatever the hell it wants regardless of its people (usually appeases the rich). The CCP is disgusting and inhumane, always have been. Killed millions of their own people even. Let their own people starve. They also always try to fool their people into believing blatant lies. (See the Mao's mango cult and how they made people believe that mangoes stayed ripe forever by using a fake mango in a showcase lol, the people didn't actually believe that but the government forced it on them).
      I am not telling you what your government is like, I am telling you my opinion on that government's actions. You can't tell me you know everything about your government, nor will I.
      "Useless English teachers" An English teacher in a free society has the ability to explore truth and perspectives, and get a better understanding of the issue through free access to information and not be confined to lies that are perpetuated within an echo chamber called "the great firewall". I understand that many Chinese use a VPN, but it is illegal.
      As a world, we should let Africans choose their own path forward. My "stupid country", which isn't even where you think it is, had many technology stolen by IP theft and has been affected by abuses of free-market capitalism on a national scale. It is sad to see the path that China plots forward, and I hope that you find the time to criticize what you see wrong in your government so that the net sum of human suffering can be lower. The corrupt economic policies of the CCP are ruining China, supporting authoritarians, and rotting China from the foundation, as well as the CCP is causing the US and other countries to fight against it because of its abuses.

    The key is that China has been building up infrastructure in Africa since the 1960s. As noted, the 1,100-mile long Tanzam Railway, built in the late '60s and early '70s, was the longest sub-Saharan railroad and the most expensive Chinese foreign aid project at the time, built for nearly $500 million (in that time's money). Perhaps the most amazing thing is that China was in the midst of the Cultural Revolution and was experiencing great economic and social upheaval.

Sad to see the audience constantly fishing for negatives about China's activities in Africa instead of using this forum to learn how the U.S. can better engage with Africa. The audience's questions confirm Moore's comment that the real motivation behind America's concern with Africa only extends to figuring a way to control China's growing influence on the continent. America's African policy was starkly demonstrated when his delegation got snubbed by Pelosi. Actions speak louder than words.

    This is interesting to watch as an African. I study economics and taken a course on the economics of developing countries. That changed my perspective on Africa and Chinese relations.
    Every economy needs foreign direct investment. China provides FDI to allow the development of transportation such as roads, railways and airplanes that can facilitate intra trade between African countries.
    Example, this year the African Continental Free Trade Agreement was established to create a large trading bloc between African countries. One of the flaws was that many parts of Africa lacked proper transportation for goods and services to move between countries. That’s where China comes in. China provides the investment to complete these projects.
    Which in return allows African countries to facilitate trade and drive Economic growth.
    This could be a win-win if African countries reach economic growth and China is paid back the loans with interest. African leaders need to leverage their debt so that the interest rate doesn’t lead to an accumulation of debt they cannot pay off. And making sure the ratio of GDP from domestic production exceeds foreign investment.

That is why China always sees every country as a friend until being treated as a foe. This will always the stand of the Chinese government but individuals' behaviour may vary.

      Free speech is an illusion and make believe concept in the West. It only functions when the majority of the population are brainwashed with deep state narratives since birth & reinforcing those narratives through daily propaganda. You can clearly see there is no free speech, when one poses to reveal something against the deep state narratives and that such entity can reach & waken a large number of sheeple, Edward Snowden or even Assange and other whistleblowers are some of the good examples.

      No there's no speaking freely. Whenever an African leader spoke up, they were assassinated. Can you imagine speaking up for the improvements of your country and using your own mineral resources and bring murder because they wanted to have assess to them? There is no such thing as a free world.

Then we all know what happened later that the US got a big slap on the face by the "sick man of Asia".

    Illuminating, thank you. We need this kind of presentation to balance out the wholesale negative news about China that have surfaced in the last 5 years. Mr. Moore's talk debunks most of the terms often labeled at Chinese presence in Africa: debt trap, neocolonialism, lack of opportunities for local workforce to partake in the project and development in Africa.

    As a Chinese I have to say. Yes we surely do everything for profit. Not only trading resource with infrastructure in short term, but also fundamentally we understand it will make our own life better if the rest of world is getting better. Our education and culture plant the notion of ‘community with shared future for mankind’ deep in our heart. The world technology is far beyond the stage when people need to fight for resources. Mankind could only become a higher level civilisation by working together.
