That's good though - honestly I think being politically correct, resorting to emotional responses and NOT having these raw discussions is infinitely more detrimental in the long run than actually saying it. We're creating even more problems that way and neglecting discussing the real issues, wasting our energy on trying to solve all the wrong problems. Nothing will be achieved if we keep sniping at eachother from a distance, bringing up past grievances, blaming everyone else and then insinuating everyone is a racist. If a White man said something like this even in the same tone it's highly likely he'd be branded racist and that would be end of the discussion. Not productive, not helping.
Th guy has 0 understanding of their history. People in the country are despondent from what was done to them, and continues to be done to them. They are on trillions in natural resources. They will never be left to be. It’s what that Chinese man is there in the first place

As an African, I hate to hear this, but it’s the God damn truth. Not all African countries of course as there are some bright spots. Take Somalia where I am from: the Italians left in 1960 and handed over a beautiful viable state with adequate infrastructure to build upon. Fast forward nearly 50 years later, Somalia is an utter hellhole with death and destruction everywhere you go, a country with not even a single operating factory as they have been destroyed and looted, the people who are starving on fertile lands (in the South), a corrupt, inept, tribal “government” which barely controls the capital city with the assistance of African Union troops and a country rampant with armed gangs and terrorists labelling it the most dangerous country in the World.

He knows the chances of Africa turning itself around (in any part of the continent) is unlikely.
One thing I respect the Chinese for, is their “it will take generations to make things right” mindset. Too many third world countries are immigrating to a functional system instead of fixing their home. The amount of extremely bloody revolutions and civil wars in China could’ve easily made it barren and uninhabitable, but every time, they got back up and rebuilt the country again.

He's grossly oversimplifying things. The Belgians, like other Europeans in Africa, went to great lengths to not share any form of education with locals. Any infrastructure that was built was done solely for the purpose of extraction, not national development. On leaving the country, they undermined local leadership by having a promising Prime Minister assassinated in coordination with the CIA, and then propped up puppet dictators that were no different in practice than the thieving Europeans that preceded them. There are so many factors working against the Congolese people, but I guess it's much easier to just blame them for their own situation.
@@yacobz Bruh the Chinese had it worse what do you mean. The Europeans fucked around in China, imported several thousand tons of opium into the country and extracted billions of wealth out of China with the unequal treaties, but since they "technically" didn't colonise it like Africa they didn't even bother developing the place before they left. Even worse was that during the early half of the 20th century China was plagued with famines, civil wars, floods, and warlordism, and Japan then invaded and killed as many Chinese as the Nazis killed Soviets. Then when Mao finally won he fucked up so bad around 50 Million people died from his inept policies. China only really began to grow after he died after 1976. You can't honestly believe that African countries, which were relatively quiet with few wars during colonial rule, and were granted independence around 20-30 years before Mao's death, were unable to improve, and in South Africa's case, gotten worse?

its a pretty stupid take though. He makes out like the Belgians were there to help advance the Congo rather than committing brutal genocide and enslavement
The chinese guy is laughing inside, thinking that Congolese make it easy for a chinese colony in Africa. Chinese only car about money - that is their "god" and "soul".
@@stonem0013 Except they weren't. The Belgians didn't even want to be in the Congo, and tried to ignore King Leopold II's attempts at colonizing Congo. The Congo Free State of King Leopold II only lasted 23 years, when the Belgian state took control of the Congo in 1908. From there, they proceeded to give the Congolese countless different concepts of governance, administrative divisions, and economic structures. In the 40s and 50s, the Congo was massively urbanized. You can still see these efforts in cities like the capital of the Congo, Kinshasa, which went from a population of 21.5k in 1935 to 174.6k in 1955. The Belgians built the Banque du Congo Belge, or the Bank of Belgian Congo, which was a monopoly in Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi, which helped native Congolese in post-independence Congo, after becoming the Banque du Congo: "Simultaneously, the BCB accelerated the elevation of native Africans within its staff, raising their share in management from 10 percent in early 1960 to 30 percent in early 1961 and over 40 percent by the end of 1963." The Belgians absolutely did teach the Congolese things. Leopold II doesn't represent all of Belgian Congo.
I watched this whole documentary and can truly say I have a lot of respect for the Congolese man. He works hard for his countries cause and puts up with quite a bit of criticism from the Chinese man. But the Chinese man is correct in regards to what is going on in the country and I think it hurts the Congolese man in a way because he knows it’s true. Great documentary I advise anyone with the time to watch it.
I saw it too what you are saying is a bold faced lie. He spends the entire documentary doing literally nothing. When asked to help out with various things he sighs and just stand there looking frustrated. when asked to translate for negotiation he says things along the lines "I'm speaking Swahili so he doesn't understand, I'm higher than this little man" then proceeds to undermine him. Is your definition of working hard for a black man just showing up? If so then yes you're right
People don't say "truth hurts" without a reason. Thing is: the black guy isn't going to accomplish anything until he mans up and accepts that truth. It also wasn't his fault his parent's generation destroyed all that technology, infrastructure, agriculture, industry and law the colonists left behind, but that doesn't mean he can just ignore that fact. He has to accept his history, learn from previous mistakes and then, and only then, can his country begin to prosper in any way, shape or form. They're still going to struggle thought, because the black mind just isn't hardwired to think about the future (that's scientific fact, google it if you want, there's plenty information about it on youtube as well), it's a great deal of why they struggle.
Chinese dude isn't making a point in defense of colonialism, he just says they should've kept and improved the good parts like technology and medicine.
Very true. Post-colonialism has been plagued with a very reactionary position by some in power, and it only led to further damaging societies that could've chosen not to reject the infrastructure and technology left to them.
Yes, I think they just wanted to reject everything left behind because it must be inherently bad. We could have done the same when the Romans left but we kinda liked their roads, running water, hot baths and central heating.

As a Vietnamese person, after every period of colonization or war in Vietnam, the country has examined and adapted what those experiences had given them and that’s why there is such a stark contrast between the Vietnam of just a few decades ago and the Vietnam of today. Sure, being colonized or imposed on by a foreign power is never something you’d be looking forward to, but there’s always something one can gain in even negative situations such as that, and I think countries such as Vietnam, China, India, etc… have understood that well and been rewarded for that.

Its bad, especially for the people who really try. I don't think it has anything to do with the color of a persons skin. It is a Marxist mentality that causes this.
Chinese culture may be different from Europe and the United States, there is not so much privacy and things that cannot be said. When you are fat, they will say that you are fat and want to lose weight. When you are too thin, they will say that you are too thin. Eat more to make your body stronger. When you are lazy, they will say that you are too lazy. Be hardworking. When you are too hardworking, they will say that you have worked too hard and need to rest more. These words may not sound good, but they are not malicious. In Chinese culture, the person who speaks the truth to you is your true friend.

After the Romans left Britain, the newly uncolonized people pretty much rejected all the advances that the Romans had brought, especially dealing with water transportation, sanitation, and heating. After hundreds of years of such nonsense, they not only adopted what their ancestors had once rejected but became experts at improving and surpassing the technology. I think that experience isn't taking hundreds of years any longer. We have too much global information buzzing around and penetrating everyone's reasoning giving them the knowledge that everyone makes themselves. Slavish adherence to tradition will one day be just something we read about in history books.

The Chinese man has a point and is not racist. Who were operating trains and fixing them? Sure, the European sent technical experts but in many cases, it was Africans that did the actually manual labor. You would think after 100 years of colonialism, the locals would have pick up enough know how to keep the network running.

Fast forward nearly 50 years later, Somalia is an utter hellhole with death and destruction everywhere you go, a country with not even a single operating factory as they have been destroyed and looted, the people who are starving on fertile lands (in the South), a corrupt, inept, tribal “government” which barely controls the capital city with the assistance of African Union troops and a country rampant with armed gangs and terrorists labelling it the most dangerous country in the World.

He's grossly oversimplifying things. The Belgians, like other Europeans in Africa, went to great lengths to not share any form of education with locals. Any infrastructure that was built was done solely for the purpose of extraction, not national development. On leaving the country, they undermined local leadership by having a promising Prime Minister assassinated in coordination with the CIA, and then propped up puppet dictators that were no different in practice than the thieving Europeans that preceded them. There are so many factors working against the Congolese people, but I guess it's much easier to just blame them for their own situation.
@@yacobz Bruh the Chinese had it worse what do you mean. The Europeans fucked around in China, imported several thousand tons of opium into the country and extracted billions of wealth out of China with the unequal treaties, but since they "technically" didn't colonise it like Africa they didn't even bother developing the place before they left. Even worse was that during the early half of the 20th century China was plagued with famines, civil wars, floods, and warlordism, and Japan then invaded and killed as many Chinese as the Nazis killed Soviets. Then when Mao finally won he fucked up so bad around 50 Million people died from his inept policies. China only really began to grow after he died after 1976.

@@stonem0013 Except they weren't. The Belgians didn't even want to be in the Congo, and tried to ignore King Leopold II's attempts at colonizing Congo. The Congo Free State of King Leopold II only lasted 23 years, when the Belgian state took control of the Congo in 1908. From there, they proceeded to give the Congolese countless different concepts of governance, administrative divisions, and economic structures. In the 40s and 50s, the Congo was massively urbanized. You can still see these efforts in cities like the capital of the Congo, Kinshasa, which went from a population of 21.5k in 1935 to 174.6k in 1955. The Belgians built the Banque du Congo Belge, or the Bank of Belgian Congo, which was a monopoly in Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi, which helped native Congolese in post-independence Congo, after becoming the Banque du Congo:
"Simultaneously, the BCB accelerated the elevation of native Africans within its staff, raising their share in management from 10 percent in early 1960 to 30 percent in early 1961 and over 40 percent by the end of 1963."
The Belgians absolutely did teach the Congolese things. Leopold II doesn't represent all of Belgian Congo.
I watched this whole documentary and can truly say I have a lot of respect for the Congolese man. He works hard for his countries cause and puts up with quite a bit of criticism from the Chinese man.

Buddy Rydell yeah I felt it too, we as African should learn from the past. Some countries are and some are not willing to learn nor are they ready
People don't say "truth hurts" without a reason. Thing is: the black guy isn't going to accomplish anything until he mans up and accepts that truth. It also wasn't his fault his parent's generation destroyed all that technology, infrastructure, agriculture, industry and law the colonists left behind, but that doesn't mean he can just ignore that fact. He has to accept his history, learn from previous mistakes and then, and only then, can his country begin to prosper in any way, shape or form. They're still going to struggle thought, because the black mind just isn't hardwired to think about the future (that's scientific fact, google it if you want, there's plenty information about it on youtube as well), it's a great deal of why they struggle.
Chinese dude isn't making a point in defense of colonialism, he just says they should've kept and improved the good parts like technology and medicine.
Very true. Post-colonialism has been plagued with a very reactionary position by some in power, and it only led to further damaging societies that could've chosen not to reject the infrastructure and technology left to them.
Yes, I think they just wanted to reject everything left behind because it must be inherently bad. We could have done the same when the Romans left but we kinda liked their roads, running water, hot baths and central heating.
It always blows me away to see people in the developing world put all their problems on colonial powers despite being independent for decades. It’s like seeing a middle-aged person blaming their issues on their parents.

A few years ago, the Europeans built a shower facility and toilets for the military in Congo, at a cost of millions of euros of European taxpayers' money. Two years later:
The showers are a lumber yard. What happened? The soldiers didn't use the toilets, but shat in the shower, which blocked the drain, and nobody wanted to clean it. So they stopped using the showers and toilets and just went somewhere behind a tree, like before. The gift from the Europeans, which cost millions, was turned into a fire wood store.

China isn't colonising Africa,you must be a liberal clxwn or a African racist to say that... No army in Africa,except for one countrie so cut the pretentious technicalities! African countries have already denied deals with China without having to fear for their lives. Mao immediatly helped to decolonise Africa when he became President! Chinese and African empires traded 1300+ years ago already!
He's totally right.
China was far more in ruins After Mao's death than Africa. Discipline and dedication made them what they are now. Same goes for Vietnam, India and more.
India 🇮🇳 is arguably the most invaded country in the entire world. The amount of foreign empires that invaded, looted, enslaved, and destroyed the country; is way more often than what has happened to any Sub - Saharan African country. But guess what? India has made way more innovative contributions to the world than any country in Sub - Saharan African has, there have been more inventors and scientists than there are Sub - Saharan Africans that are.
As a Vietnamese person, after every period of colonization or war in Vietnam, the country has examined and adapted what those experiences had given them and that’s why there is such a stark contrast between the Vietnam of just a few decades ago and the Vietnam of today. Sure, being colonized or imposed on by a foreign power is never something you’d be looking forward to, but there’s always something one can gain in even negative situations such as that, and I think countries such as Vietnam, China, India, etc… have understood that well and been rewarded for that.
wow 72 people upvoted that unhinged comment. By Mao's death there were finally functioning roads, electricity, and hospitals, widespread literacy, major diseases like cholera were gone, average life expectancy had gone from 36 to 66 years, and the economy and population had grown in almost every year for a long time. Deng was able to open China to the world to further upgrade develop it, because there was finally something to open.

They sent a motorcycle to help them travel long distances to other villages, they sang and danced and celebrated but one of them took the wheels for his handcart. Finally they sent a solar powered pump for the well, they sang and danced and celebrated but at some point the button became disloged and fell into the command box.

The third year they let the farmer do it himself, and he didn’t plant the cover crop because it was “extra money”, and the next year the crop yield was back to normal.

Filipinos always think they are so open-eyed and open-minded, but from what I know, they are so close-minded, sometimes make you speechless, even a few Filipinos go outside of their country, see things, know things, they either stay there rarely go back to Filipino or go back but choose to do nothing about it.
When I was there, my company build so many hospitals, power plant, power grids, the Filipinos we train know how to maintine them, but they never improve or learn from the projects they are working in.

Learn from those that beat you, or those that know more. If you turn your eyes away you will miss what helped them do it in the first place. That is a serious lesson right there.
After the Romans left Britain, the newly uncolonized people pretty much rejected all the advances that the Romans had brought, especially dealing with water transportation, sanitation, and heating. After hundreds of years of such nonsense, they not only adopted what their ancestors had once rejected but became experts at improving and surpassing the technology. I think that experience isn't taking hundreds of years any longer. We have too much global information buzzing around and penetrating everyone's reasoning giving them the knowledge that everyone makes themselves. Slavish adherence to tradition will one day be just something we read about in history books.
Underrated
European Christians once refused to use Arabic Hindu numerals (which are the ancestors of nowadays numerals developed in Algeria) because they were brought by Muslims... Now they Excell at manipulating them.. and they came to dominate them with that knowledge... Knowledge is the strongest weapon indeed.

Sad but true. I litterally have to "humiliate" my foreign workers because of their wasteful lifestyles. After earning their pay, they sent home their earnings and guess what? Their families back home have non-stop parties celebrating useless things. Then they are broke after a week of partying and soon asking for advance salary. Sometimes it can take me 5-10 years to change their mindset with constant guidance and teaching (plus lots of nagging!). But the success rate is around 25% only. But I will not give up....
They are workers for a reason. They will never be anything else
25%? thats too high
@Jonathan yeah but its more commonly called Taiwan
That's why you shouldn't hire foreign workers, they're not as hard working and productive as your countrymen and they're wasteful. + helping with the great replacement
@@alex19gt Not true. I discovered that they are VERY hardworking, productive and loyal (most of them). Sad to say, our locals are spoiled, lazy and felt entitled to everything. The only weakness they have is the lack of will power to save money.
*Rhodesia used the be called the "Breadbasket of Africa" because it produced enough food to feed the entire African contintent and still have surplus. Then they kicked out all the British people...and "Zimbabwe" starved under Mugabe*

Telling the truth is not talking down. He made these statements as a matter of fact and without malice.
That guy is exposing an entire continent 🤣
But thats the truth. And in the end just like this guy, they all realize that they fucked up and that an endless civil war between theire nations wont bring them anywere. If they want to get better thed should accept the was we did it in europe and do the same. Its theire pride that keeps them from doing so and still go theire way and keep building houses made out of mud.... some of these tribes still eat humans there were some videos shown in wich tribal humans ate other humans..... these videos were of course deleted as they are way to crazy for humans to watch I mean that stuff really makes you weird so just dont search it. Best is to improve and get away from the old ways.

Well, I expected from the chinese guy a wise phrase, according to his ancient culture. My expectations were a lot high 😂
@@galilelollel9658Stop babbling on about weird bronze age fairy tales. It’s embarrassing that you base your life around some caveman’s delusions.

Tough love. But only a friend will tell you hard truths like this.
rest in peace for this one dude bearing the weight of the failures from his entire country over serveral generations 😭
Nothing the Chinese man says is true
Yeah tbh thats just a heavy tall to take as one guy representing his whole damn continent. I mean if you were to put every country leader of africa in one big room and this guy tells that to them with the previous presidents of these nations that did nothing as well..... I think some of them will reconsider. Presidents like the one from el savador are legends. He made the kill rate go from a extremly high rate to 1%!!!!
It is the exact same case for my country Madagascar, Malagasy people will hate that chinese man but deep down we know that he speaks the truth ! We don't know how to take care of our country, we never sit to reflect about the lessons after all those terrible mistakes, and above all we are in full denial mode regarding the future of Madagascar, we are actually going backwards... It will not only take generation, it will take forever ! I like his honesty. I understand his disapointment.
you shouldn't support racists
Somalia is the exact same way, it was honestly in workable condition when the Italians handed it over in the 60’s but since then the country has been ruined by its own people
@@l3ftie578 please shutup with your racist bs. nobody is ever going to beleive that white colonisers were any good for the countries they colonised other than racists like you. grow up.
Meanwhile Madagascar is destroying its forrest for Chinese furniture because of its special wood...These foreigners have no good intentions with Africa...This Chinese guy feels superior, but China itself is in big problems now. It built an economy on bubbles and lies and look at it now. We don't need advice him. Why do African always feel so inferior?
I live in Canada but I had a good friend who emigrated from Madagascar when I was in high school. When I asked him what it was like in his country he said "You don't want to know."

The Chinese man has a point and is not racist. Who were operating trains and fixing them? Sure, the European sent technical experts but in many cases, it was Africans that did the actually manual labor. You would think after 100 years of colonialism, the locals would have pick up enough know how to keep the network running.
China's success is in learning and copying from all the western back factories that opened up after its economic reform. They learn everything from us and is now even leaders in some fields....... You can always blame history, but how long can you keep doing that......
My grandparents spent 53 years in central and west Africa. The lack of development is their own fault. The political infighting their attitude even their own hatred of one another are all factors. They stand in their own way.
yes of course, white people take accountability of the disaster and chaos they created. Do you know that when an african leader to to revolt against white powers (who are still present there) a coup happens and that leader is usually killed ? Have you ever asked yourself what your grandparents were doing there for 53 YEARS !!!! ? I am sure they will never tell you the real reason...
it's unfortunate. Especially to those who really are trying to change things.
- they can't help it, bear with them.
And that corruption and stagnation just drives out the African people with the most initiative to move to US or Europe and become doctors. Can't really blame them for going where their skills are valued and rewarded.
