This isn't about Chinese people this is about being a pawn.... Jamaica belongs to the Jamaican people NOT the JLP PNP or ANY political party or group... let the people decide where we take money from and why!
Oh shut up . As a dissabled person that’s born in America that’s born to Jamaican mother and half Jamaican , French Canadian native Indian father , do not ever ever ever say that . My great grandmother was quarter Chinese . Back in the days black dark Jamaicans was not nice to Chinese even now and they can be racist . I was with some one that lives in montigo bay Jamaica and we stupid seeing each other because of the reasons why is he was racist towards the Chinese. My friend is Chinese from Taiwan Taipei. 27 fucking years I have to listion to people being racist because their different. How about I disown my Jamaican heritage because their racist even if I have a little black blood in me . I rather be around Chinese. Or other Asians than Jamaicans or blacks or some Hispanics. I think it’s cool the Chinese are in Jamaica because what I wish is , is find my Chinese family even if there dead . How sbout we use to have native Indians in Jamaica before the slaves reached there . The native Indians in Jamaican were the real Jamaicans . How about the white People stole America from native Indians . Think before you all say bad things about China . How about Jamaicans stop being damn cheap and stop hating . God says not to hate or judge unless they did harm to you really bad .
Jamaica belongs to the real Jamaicans that died off years ago and that’s the native Indians . Jamaica belongs to them and the us and the south Chinese Hakka and for you , your dumb and I hate this guy that keeps saying thanks for watching with out having a real discussion and I feel like he’s racist towards Chinese. My Jamaican great grandmother was a quarter south Chinese Hakka. Your hate your comment racist fool
First, Jamaicans are no more intolerant or cynical than any other people. If there was a huge influx of Jamaicans into China- owning, operating and mostly hiring their own the same degree of intolerance and cynicism would she shown to them. The average Jamaican isn't oppose to foreign investment, as long as they're seeing themselves benefiting from these investments. Having Chinese opening and operating supermarkets doesn't seem to the average man as beneficial to him if the majority of the people working in those supermarkets are Chinese. Second, the Chinese and Americans are in fight for economic and global dominance. The rest of the world are just proxies. The US has and is increasing its influence and investments within China's backyard and the Chinese has follow suit into America's backyard. I welcome Chinese investments into Jamaica. The highways are beautiful and I hope they will continue more infrastructure investments. Let's not be naive however, thinking the Chinese are simply agreeing to terms that isn't most beneficial them. We've been here before with the Brits and with the Americans, the Chinese are no different. It's up to Jamaica's leaders to at least make sure the average Jamaican does see themself benefiting from these investments.....and, these investments aren't a liability on the environment nor a burdening debt for our grandchildren.
Well said Andrew, this is not a simplistic issue and should be treated with a lot more critical thinking. Walk around with our eyes shut and we will continue to be trampled on.
Since the 18th century Things have changed. The New ones are not the same . Learn from them. Slice your own bread and open your own shops. Together you can develop your own country
Much as I do not disagree with "some" of the issues you've raised please, please let's not get confused here or forget the racist attitudes that many Chinese come to jamaica with. The racism is raw and unapologetic. Remember the exhibit in the chinese museum 2017 comparing wild animals with black people? Another point is that "investment" should not be at the expense of trying to dehumanise us, being given foreign investors a throne and overlooking poor work practices. One of our biggest problems is that we love everyone else except ourselves and the moment we apply critical thinking and point out double standards we are attacked by our very own..................Enough said.
Jamaucans are some of the most racist people I've seen and I travel the world. They use derogatory terms when talking about other races besides black and no one seems to bat an eye so spare me your fake outrage.
Angel, your question tells me that you still don't get it. Chinese investment in Jmca is not, and could not be, for making Jmcns "independent". We beg for foreign investment and they came. Today, Chinese investments, tourism, & money remittance from some Jmncs abroad, are what holding up Jmca's economy. Local investment is still not significant enough and is only happening in urban areas. Chinese investors are the only ones investing & revitalizing our rural small towns, our violent run-down inner-city areas & towns, and our dilapidated buildings. It is a DAMN SHAME to see in small towns all around Montego Bay & Kingston that Chinese supermarkets & shops are sometimes the only little employment for many. Angel contrary to what you may think, I am not defending or attacking Chinese investments. I am simply saying to learn from them bcse they have a good business model & good business sense that is part of their culture, and ordinary Jmcns don't. Two years into my video Chinese investors are rural Jmca's largest employers. Do you see where this is going? LEARN FROM OUR CHINESE INVESTORS. The 'ism & 'scism is not helping us Angel.
@@bobmontego7328 Neither am I defending or attacking Chinese investment. I am concerned that 10 - 20 years down the road Jamaica don't find itself in the same or worse position it is in now by not taking advantage of these investments by developing its people. But if you love it and are satisfied oh well.
I can only speak about Jamaica. I can certainly say that the Chinese are united We don't have a Chinese Benevolent Society. They have Chinese MP such as Rose Leon and Ferdinand Yap- Sam who have assisted the Chinese in their endeavors. Quite the opposite with a Jamaican black. Our corrupt politicians and police force keep us suppressed and can't get ahead. It's always one step forward and two steps backwards. Because of the inequality in Jamaica , in education, and otherwise, plus the color casts system from slavery days Jamaican blacks will never have the same opportunities as the Azzans and the Marzoucas and the Matalons. So they are perceived to be lazy and good for nothing and worthy of imprisonment. Until you walk a mile in someone's shoes don't judge them.
As a jamaican with indiginous african and hebrew origins i feel if there was not racial disrespect for black jamaicans the recent chinese settlement would of been viewed differently.
I would be as skeptical of East Asians as I would of Europeans, Americans, And Middle Easterners they all treat there own minorities horribly so chances are they will treat Afro Caribbean ones just as bad if not worse or close enough yeah.
People have to remember that it’s China that is willingly spending money in a region that is extremely risky in terms of government investments. People can have an attitude to them or what not but they should not forget that they are accelerating the building of your country. The brits would never and to this day would never spend a single pound there because of the high risks incurred. Of course it must feel a bit uncomfortable since it’s happening so suddenly but China is a lot different to america or the Uk. China operates on a economic scale. They want to spend money and build trade links. This way they can secure allies in the future and trade partners whereas the country that is being invested in also benefits of being able to use that money to accelerate economic growth in their country. Don’t forget the last time governments refused to cooperate with the US, they’ve ended up going into civil war or economic depression. Libya, Iraq and afghanistan etc... China gives proposals for the Jamaican government for them to consider. If they do not like it, the Chinese come back with a new proposal. They aren’t forcing the governments to accept these plans. That’s the difference between Chinese investment and American investment
I do not know what you're talking about but Jamaica prime minister don't know how to build Jamaica economically. If he knew how to build Jamaica economically first thing he would have made Jamaica do more export that import. He would have made agricultural the main money earning in Jamaica than tourism. It doesn't make any sense for Jamaican government to import things that Jamaica can grow for themselves. Secondly he wouldn't put Jamaica in so much debt, he should of take a book from the greatest prime minister that Jamaica have don't borrow too much money. Thirdly since this man became the prime minister poor people are suffering more because everything raised GCT skyrocketed, taxi fare skyrocketed and minimum wage is $7,000 per week that is $48 US dollars per week. Do you think Jamaican people can live from that. Lastly if Jamaica government did care, he wouldn't make Chinese people own so much supermarkets and shops and pay their worker so little money for that much work. Do you ever work in a Chinese supermarket before, they do not allow the workers to sit down for the 10 -11 hours per day they are working for.
Why do people think Chinese are going to interest in jamaica for the better of the Jamaican ppl this is so stupid to think this way look how they treat Blk ppl in china what make you think they have our best interest at heart
Hmm A few years ago, Chinese workers moved into my mother's home, paying no rent for several months! Her brother was too embarrassed to say what had happened. Eventually he had no choice after she flew back there for a holiday. Story was he only gave them the key's to view the property and they moved in without signing a contract 🤬 Let's just say once my mother mentioned 👮🏽♂️ was going to get involved, they paid up and signed a contract before she left the island. Most of these companies barely employ locals. Majority of them choose to employ those from their own background and fly them in! 🤨
Historically these new Colonisers go for the airport or the ports. They can bring in what they want and they have the funds to buy your land. J,As now becomes workers/ labourers. What will the next generation of Jamaican have ?. Marcus Garvey legacy is it taught in Schools a people without the knowledge of their history is like a tree without roots.
Our leaders politicians doctors nurses police judges carpenters masons are still Jamaicans. Just as Arabs run the corner store markets in the US but AA have no say in their communities. Don't get it twisted we still run our own

I agree I love the Chinese people. My great grandparents came to jamaica from india which is also in Asia. I love the Chinese people and yes jamaica needs to capitalize on the Chinese expertise stop criticizing them but embrace them .
Jamaicans are mixed there are chineesejamaicans and indojamaicans who came since 1870s Era who came as indentured servants. Most Jamaicans have mixed background. There are ancient Chinese who have been in the country from back then who help build the country asindentured servants but I don't know where the new ones come from. I'm ok with the old ones who have been there for centuries and became chineesejamaicans but not the new ones.
Des Rankine 1935, I am not sure if you have thought about what you have said. But if you have ever heard anyone said that some Jmcns can be very intolerant of other groups of people, your statement is what they mean. Jmcns have traveled, lived, and accepted in many places like USA, Ca., & UK for centuries, but should these countries now reject new Jmcns coming in, especially with some of our flaws? The new arrivals of Chinese coming in are coming with money & expertise to invest, not coming empty handed to learn expertise & make money as we Jmcns generally do when we go to other countries. Yet other countries accept us, despite all our many flaws. The point of the video is that we should learn from the solid business model of ethnic Jmcn Chinese & as well as the new investment class of Chinese coming in at the invitation of the Jmcn gov & the private sector organizations of Jmca. If we are suspicious of them - then keep our eyes open. But how can it hurt to learn from them? Don't let Google Search or posted videos instruct your undestanding of the world .... that's information not education. The only things holding up our economy are Chinese investments, money remittance from Jmcns abroad, tourism, & a growing manufacturing sector. Learn from the Chinese among us, and pay attention if we must. But Conservative America is not interested in us and neither is "backrah massa" Britain ..... our options are few so let's not be stupid thinking that we are smart.
The Chinese businessmen have direct access to production factories which gives them lots of leverage, that’s why they are able to move around the world the way they do. Watch and see what they do and just do like them. Economic jealousy will get no one anywhere. Buy low sell high. Learn skills that are needed, charge less and make money in volume. That’s their motto.
Absolutely! Skylar you hit the nail on the head. That is what I call "the uncomfortable truth".... Jmcns should learn from the Chinese in Jmca. Don't waste your time in online culture wars, holding grudges, spinning conspiracy theories, or spewing hate bcse that will not benefit Jmca. They have been classic examples of how to run successful businesses in Jmca for generation. Learn from them. Thanks for watching Skylar.
You should look into the China "Belt and Road" initiative. China has gone into countries all over the world and made deals for infrastructure, building bridges,roads and buildings in exchange for loans. The cost is high, and the stuff is so cheaply built that it falls apart quickly, and the government is then indebted to China over loans that are larger than their national GNI. Then they seize infrastructure or land for themselves. They're doing it all over the world, Africa, South America, Europe, Middle East..... Play with them if you want, you'll get the short end of the stick.
Thank you Tess, but I am very familiar with the Chinese effort to gain Geo-Economic Advantage around the world over the US through their Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). They learnt this from the US, but have overtaken them bcse the US was distracted with war in Afghanistan, Iraq, & Syria for 20years. But as to Jmca, Chinese will continue investing, living, & becoming Jmcn citizens whether you & I like it or not. Bcse they are effective business investors (quick-sale-small-profit), Jmcns across the board should learn from them. It's OK to have a healthy skepticism of the Chnse, but learn from them. That's it for me. Thanks for watching Tess.
@@lust-sama3920 We shouldn't be looking for "help" from the Chinese. We should be learning from tthem. Seek transference of technology, and learn their common sense about business. The Chinese are there with technology for their own economic benefits, so we should be about economics & technology. Learn from them. Keep our eyes open yes. But let's not waste time caught up in Online narratives that are pushing information for "likes" & "hate" that doesn't serve Jmca any good in the end. If the USA, Ca, EU, & Asia can't do without them, then who are we to think we can. Learn from them.
What??? So you're telling me 7, not 1 or 2, but 7 business opportunities were available in your community and no blacks or locals were interested???? Wow....that speaks volumes.
And Nicke, this in part is drawing Chinese invester hunting for easy business oppertunities, backed by unlimited capital support from Chinese investment empowerment programs. There is a "cause and effect" element that we are largely missing because of the amount of misplaced anger (often times warranted).Those of us peddling "doom's day forcasts" must first explain the rudiments of a market economy to people listening to them and encourage local participation in our own economy, or else it will look like we just don't like the foreign presence of the Chinese. We did that already with Jamaica's Chinese, Indians, & Lebanese. Thank you for watching.
I'm sure many Jamaicans were interested but the Jamain system is set to serve everyone else but Jamaicans. The chinese get tax exemptions, this man failed to mention that. While we locals don't and we have on top of heft fines, utility and we have to start from scratch while the govt help the chinese nationals fix up their businesses.
@@madeinjamaica7025 There is a huge distinction between "local" & "foreign" investment for developing countries like Jmca. We "want" local investments, but we "need" foreign investments. Local investments shift the local money around, while foreign investments bring in fresh money on top of the local money supply. Governments "everywhere" offer "tax holiday" or "exemption" to attract this outside money because it is critical to national development. What ordinary Jmcns should not do is to be confused that govmnt is giving free money to foreign investers but not Jmcns. That's not true. The economy "wants" local investment, but "needs" foreign investments, which is why gov begs foreigners to bring their money & new ideas - the two things we severely lack. The Chinese were once where we are, depending on US foreign investment. Now the US cannot servive without China So let's stop obsessing about the Chinese and learn from them.
The Chinese communuty has kept to itself for the main part and have not integrated itself into the mainstream Jamaican society. Sure we can learn from them but are they willing to share. Our leaders have signed deals that are not always in the best interest of our people and therein lies the problem.
Coach I think it's nice that you'll be supporting "Moorish-Jamaican" businesses. Try not to avoid the rest of Jamaica though. Thanks again for watching.

This is refreshing to see and hear. Thank for an honest and fair viewpoint of the situation. Hopefully everyone can learn and benefit from ideally fair deals and trades...as long as local politics are not affected. That is where other nations tend to get involved and then create more problems.
Total nonsense, I didn't expect you to state otherwise, you guys who are the sellers are using counterfeit goods and knockoffs to price out anyone then turn around and use the ill-gotten gains to purchase legit businesses, then turn around and exploit the locals there!

Actually Jamaicans is not connected to Chinese, if Jamaica was connected to China we could have been able to go to China without a visa, but we need visa to go to China, but Chinese can come to Jamaica without a visa so that is not a connection. And it should have been easy for Jamaicans to go to China to work like how Chinese are able to come to Jamaica easy to work. A use we a use each other and Chinese a get way more benefit. China draw the longer stick of the straw.
@@daniellewis7533 that’s not what I meant when I said connected I mean they will share culture as you can see a lot of Africans are having great connections with Chinese at last things are slowly reuniting the only issue is the Western Hemisphere and racism
Tap into the large Jamaican diaspora partner with then to develop the country. That is how the Chinese develop their country the Jews did the same too. Jamaicans have the skills but lack funding.
We should make Blazian Baby's who'd lead us to peace amongst the Asian and Black people of this world. Not only peace but actually, eye candy looking mixed race. Peace!
I feel that the negative issues between black and Asian people generally tend to only show up in America. Chinese companies do a lot of business in Africa and there are a lot of African immigrants in China as well as other East Asian countries. A lot of Asian people can be hateful towards African immigrants but it's mostly xenophobic in nature. They see them the same way right wing people do Hispanics in America. African Americans get better treatment because they're seen as being wealthier tourist or business people. I'm generalizing but you get the picture.
@@incubus_the_man Asia is colonizing alot of west africa they just do it by giving huge credit lines knowing down the line they'll make money off interest etc.
@@WESTERNBOUNDTV it's China that's investing in African industry and resources. I don't know if China will abuse Africa the same way as Europe did but I do hope that African countries are able to get their fair share of the profit. They say that China is trying to develop Africa to become China's China... The problem is that many of the poorer African countries sometimes have corrupt leaders that may allow Chinese industry to abuse African resources and people the way that European colonists did. However, African people can benefit if doing business with China if the profits go towards improving infrastructure, education and jobs. And i think that African leaders need to step up to ensure that happens.
Naive and gullible best describes this public service announcement,this kind of thinking will push black Jamaicans right off cliff..sad he doesn't get it ..
Larome, on the contrary, I see that you don't get it. If the United States & Europe CAN NOT do without China's money & expertise, then poor lttle Jamaica also CAN NOT. The SIMPLE point of this video is that: If Jamaica is only attracting foreign investment from China (and not US, Ca, EU) then LEARN FROM THE CHINESE INVESTORS so we can grow. We don't need to love the Chinese to learn from them. If we keep talking these platitudes that are not grounded in any academic understanding of geo-economics, then we can't do a DAMN thing for Jmca except talk "malarkey". Again, I am simply saying to learn from them how to build roads, bridges, drains, sidewalks, retention walls, train lines, runways, shipping peers ... LEARN FROM THEM. That's how they got to where they are. It's not about defending China or being naive, because I am not. It''s about understanding the "The Uncomfortable Truth". And this understanding has to be informed by more than the likes of "Google Search", "RUclips" videos, or "FaceBook". As to the Chinese business investers, they are not doing well bcse government gives them "tax-free holidays", because every foreign investors gets this insensitive to bring their money to Jmca. It's bcse of their business model, and we can benefit from learning it. Thanks for watching.
Do they not teach about the trans pacifc slave trade lot of these native americans are asian and they started that in the 1100s way before transatlantic.
What you stated here is baseless and makes no sense.... Name one store owned by Blacks in China or any major city in America or the UK where you have a large population of Chinese. I can answer for you... None... They would never spend $1 with a Black own store here in America much less allow you to set up shop in the neighborhood. The part that you don't get is simple finance. Since they control the ports they are allowed to bring in counterfeit hence these knockoff products are making them millionaires overnight... So if a Black yardie has a store in Parish A and they open up another store across the street who do you think will have the cheaper price? They will because of the seller... The Chinese will give their countryman a lower price to put that store out of business.... How can you compete with that? It is unfair business practices that the JA Govt allow them to do....they are practicing racism, what is in that you can't comprehend?

The older Chinese were family, to all Island in the Caribbean I an not sure about the most recent. China has employed a Global dominance do not be naive an out China's motives.
David, there is no mystery about China. They are now a global player who wants what America, Europe, Canada, & India wants, which is competitive economic advantage through global geo-economic positioning. That is a position currently held by the US and is jealously guarded, but loosing grip. As for Jamaica, Chinese have been coming none-stop for almost two centuries. The difference is that, in the last two decades Chinese have not come as economic migrants as they use to, but as investors, engineers, & scientist bcse China is now rich. Because the wider Jmcn society has not learnt from the long successes of Chinese in Jmca, I am firm that we should learn from them instead of holding feelings of animosity & indifference for them, especially bcse they are leaders in small & mid-size businesses in Jmca. Thanks for watching David.
Don't want to overstate my point David, or speak in defense of China. My point is simply that Chinese investment & expertise is going to keep flowing into Jamaica, as it is everywhere else. It is fine to be cynical, but rather than showing indifference we should learn from them. Their money & expertise is the only ones flowing into Jamaica. The issue of Hong Kong is different, the island has always been theirs. It was annexed & occupied by England, wiho agreed to return it after a 100years. I understand your misgivings of China for slowly returning the island to one-party rule quicker than agreed. I do too. But it does not mean that Jmca's economic dependence should move from UK, to the US, now China, and then India next without learning how to stand on our own? Learn from China. Thanks again for watching David.
Your thoughts are too idyllic for this Cruel World. You think they are putting in all of this infrastructure and investment for the benefit of Jamaica and Jamaicans🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They won't be in Jamaica as teachers but abusers of the people and the Country.
"T", Jamaica has been exploited economical by Britain (the logest), USA (the most), and now China. You honestly think Jamaica should not learn economic savvy from the Chinese? It does not matter what our iissues are with them, they have the skills, the smarts, the know-how, & the money. We need their investment money, their technology, their smarts, & their know-how. LEARN FROM THEM, or else the next emerging economy to exploit Jamaica (and leave us complainiing) will be India. China learnt from their exploiters, and so should Jamaica. And "T", you don't sit and wait for someone come and teach you look & learn. Jamaicans should begin by looking & learning how the Chinese turn a little "hole-in-the-wall" business into a large enterprise in no time, and that's "The Uncomfortable Truth". Respect "T".
......and we are also Chinese, Indians, Lebanese, English, Irish, Scottish, Germans, and largely from multiple regions of West/Central Africa. I am sure there is a connection to the Moorish people across North Africa, they were a popular ethnic group. Thank you for watching Alramur.
Yusha, that's true. I tend to say Lebanese because most came after Lebanon aplit from Syria after the war. But you are right, many came when the conflict zone was still Syria. Thanks for watching Yusha.
Chinese-Jamaicans are the most successful ethnic group in Jmca since I was a boy. They created the templet for successful bakeries, supermarkets, wholesale, gambling, etc, in Jmca. Their concept of quick-sale-small-profit is still the fastest route to succeeding in business in Jmca. The new Chinese business class is no different. And Jmca's Jewish, Lebanese, & Indian business class all use the same business model to succeed, which is largely why they are not higglers on sidewalks or "bend-down" markets. Learn from them. Hope that answers your question Dotty 5000.
Have you seen the bribes they pay officials do you see our government even trying to get us locals in a position of power sure we Jamaicans have a lot to learn to run a business but a Jamaican would never sell meat they know that is spoiled to you a Jamaican would never treat even a Chinese as a slave their work ethic is to be admired but I rather die a free man than selling out my own to a notion that doesn’t even love themselves only money
This is so anti black... why assume we dont know how to advance? The issue is capitalism, corrupt politicians & anti blackness, theres nothing we need fi learn from them. Stop infantalizing black people
@@bobmontego7328 they never created shit they just come to Jamaica and live off the people.Jamaicans can open their own supermarket and break their own bread.People like you have self hatred.deep down you want to sleep with a Chinese and produce blasian kids.
You said the Chinese, they tell you what they want, you tell them what you want, they give you what they want Sounds about right...... Jamaicans , don't be willing to sell more than half the island to live prettier. Thats what it sounds like to me
Lay, I think you fully understand what I was trying to say, it's a transposition error (but it's OK if you have fun with it). As to the claim of "Jamaicans selling out Jmca", Jmca is a Free Market Economy, so it don't reject investments based solely on resentment or prejudice for investers. If so countries like US, China, Canada, Erope & much of Asia, would not be rich. Lay, our understanding of this issue must be informed by much more than Google Search or personal resentments. And this doesn't mean that the Chinese doesn't have motives or anything to be concerned about. Appreciate you for watching & commenting Lay.
@@bobmontego7328 Investing, renting and buying are 3 different things brother And completely understand your point I just don't like how you said it. Black people don't need anyone. Number 1 working with people that has our best interest at heart that's a good thing, but Jamaica is the black man land. Chinese people are coming to Jamaica and investing because it's a good business opportunity, land and resources make money. Jamaica the land the people/consumers Jamaicans have more to negotiate with don't forget that, accept the investment accept the rent but don't sell / go to China and try to buy land ya ass can't. AND DON'T SAY WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM NO WE CAN LEARN DROM EACH OTHER BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE HAVE ALOT TO OFFER
Lay, just as a reminder, while Jamaica is of a majority West/Central African ancestry, it has a distinct minority ancestory of Chinese, Indians, Lebanese, British, Irish, Scotish, & Germans. Members of these ethnic minority groups make up the lion share of Jmca's rich business class, all of whom relied on thier ethnic values to survive & prosper when they came or were brought to Jmca. Of this group, one of the better business model I have seen is the Chinese bcse it is simple. They rent a place, live in the back, open shop in the front, make quick sales small profit, live simple, & in five years buy the property & build the largest supermarket in the town. It doesn't matter if it's generational Chinese or new arrivals, their business model is the same, with clear success. On the flip side, the greater portion of Jmca's largest ethnic group continues to struggle with the "streetside vendor" & "bend-down market" business model. When something works use it. Learn from the Chinese "quick sale small profit" business model. Forget the 'ism & 'sksm bcse that has no road map to a people's success. Thanks again for your time Lay.
That dude is spillingout some serious FACTS... But... Just today, I was saying that in most African Countries, basically what China is doing, they are financially colonizing all of these POOR 3rd World Countries with super high interest rate, short term loans. Then, they are also using that exact same loaned out money to build key infrastructure within the Country, that CHINA WANTS for themselves... They are doing all kind of stuff for them, but also requiring that they can only use ALL CHINESE LABOR not any local labor or hardly any local Companies... Then, when they can't pay back these loans, they own all that stuff... STUFF that China really wanted in the first place, like power plants, gold and silver mines, farm land, shipping ports, airports, etc, etc.... Basically, they're doing the same thing that they did to COLONIZE AMERICA, after Nixon went to China and sold American workers down the river to Chinese workers for "30 pieces of silver"... Now look at US today, with everything in Walmart that WE ARE BEING FORCED INTO PAYING FOR that was made by Chinrese slave wage workers... Isn't that exactly what Great Britain wanted to do, when they first put colonies in Jamestown? They wanted to reap all the financial benefits of this new land that they were investing in... Now China has been the primary investor in Walmart... They are 5he main ones who are reaping most of the benefits from all their "Made In China" products that's in Walmart!!! You can't even get Walmart to buy or sell hardly no American made goods, because the COMMUNISTS Chinese government will not ALLOW Walmart to stock American made products, unless those products are NOT currently being made in CHINA... Why is that? BECAUSE Walmart has also sold the American worker, and as a result the American economy and it's WEALTH down the river for "30 pieces of silver"... ALL in the name of LOWEST PRICES... China perfected this SCAM by paying off American Businessmen and American Politicians, and now they're doing the exact same thing all over the World... That's why I truly believe only, under the Democrats, that's why the US and most major World ECONOMIES are purposefully being taken down to SHIT... POLITICIANS all over the World, now know how much they have fucked up by NORMALIZING TRADE RELATIONS WITH COMMUNISTS... That's what all of this high inflation is really all about... to bring China BACK down by the exact same almighty DOLLAR, that they allowed to be used to build China UP to become such a powerful RED DRAGON, over the last 40 years!!!! Now, they all know,as a last resort before it consumes US ALL, they got to crash the entire World economy just to KILL THE RED DRAGON!!! The US did the exact same thing to the Japanese way back in the late '80s and the early '90s, when it looked like Japan was going to become the #1 World economy, and they have NEVER RECOVERED FROM IT.... 💯FACTS!!! BUT.... Here's what should make you SHIT YOUR PANTS: Japan was NOT the most populated Nation on the entire Planet... Japan was NOT at all a formidable military THREAT... Japan did NOT have any nuclear weapons ... Japan did NOT have a military alliance with the #1 most nuclearized Nation on the entire Planet, who just so happens to be America's #1 sworn enemy ... in RUSSIA!!! So, boys and his let's all get ready, since it's going to be a BUMPY RIDE before things, hopefully settles back down😳☹️🧐🤨

Oh shut up . As a dissabled person that’s born in America that’s born to Jamaican mother and half Jamaican , French Canadian native Indian father , do not ever ever ever say that . My great grandmother was quarter Chinese . Back in the days black dark Jamaicans was not nice to Chinese even now and they can be racist . I was with some one that lives in montigo bay Jamaica and we stupid seeing each other because of the reasons why is he was racist towards the Chinese. My friend is Chinese from Taiwan Taipei. 27 fucking years I have to listion to people being racist because their different. How about I disown my Jamaican heritage because their racist even if I have a little black blood in me . I rather be around Chinese. Or other Asians than Jamaicans or blacks or some Hispanics. I think it’s cool the Chinese are in Jamaica because what I wish is , is find my Chinese family even if there dead . How sbout we use to have native Indians in Jamaica before the slaves reached there . The native Indians in Jamaican were the real Jamaicans . How about the white People stole America from native Indians . Think before you all say bad things about China . How about Jamaicans stop being damn cheap and stop hating . God says not to hate or judge unless they did harm to you really bad .
Jamaica belongs to the real Jamaicans that died off years ago and that’s the native Indians . Jamaica belongs to them and the us and the south Chinese Hakka and for you , your dumb and I hate this guy that keeps saying thanks for watching with out having a real discussion and I feel like he’s racist towards Chinese. My Jamaican great grandmother was a quarter south Chinese Hakka. Your hate your comment racist fool
@@Dispondent how can you discuss with a guy that suggesting each development project is collective decided by all the people how and who to fund it.
First, Jamaicans are no more intolerant or cynical than any other people. If there was a huge influx of Jamaicans into China- owning, operating and mostly hiring their own the same degree of intolerance and cynicism would she shown to them.
The average Jamaican isn't oppose to foreign investment, as long as they're seeing themselves benefiting from these investments. Having Chinese opening and operating supermarkets doesn't seem to the average man as beneficial to him if the majority of the people working in those supermarkets are Chinese.
Second, the Chinese and Americans are in fight for economic and global dominance. The rest of the world are just proxies. The US has and is increasing its influence and investments within China's backyard and the Chinese has follow suit into America's backyard. I welcome Chinese investments into Jamaica. The highways are beautiful and I hope they will continue more infrastructure investments.
Let's not be naive however, thinking the Chinese are simply agreeing to terms that isn't most beneficial them. We've been here before with the Brits and with the Americans, the Chinese are no different. It's up to Jamaica's leaders to at least make sure the average Jamaican does see themself benefiting from these investments.....and, these investments aren't a liability on the environment nor a burdening debt for our grandchildren.

Much as I do not disagree with "some" of the issues you've raised please, please let's not get confused here or forget the racist attitudes that many Chinese come to jamaica with. The racism is raw and unapologetic. Remember the exhibit in the chinese museum 2017 comparing wild animals with black people? Another point is that "investment" should not be at the expense of trying to dehumanise us, being given foreign investors a throne and overlooking poor work practices. One of our biggest problems is that we love everyone else except ourselves and the moment we apply critical thinking and point out double standards we are attacked by our very own..................Enough said.

Two years into your speech how has these Chinese ventures in Jamaica help develop the Jamaican people to become more independent? Serious question.
Angel, your question tells me that you still don't get it. Chinese investment in Jmca is not, and could not be, for making Jmcns "independent". We beg for foreign investment and they came. Today, Chinese investments, tourism, & money remittance from some Jmncs abroad, are what holding up Jmca's economy. Local investment is still not significant enough and is only happening in urban areas. Chinese investors are the only ones investing & revitalizing our rural small towns, our violent run-down inner-city areas & towns, and our dilapidated buildings. It is a DAMN SHAME to see in small towns all around Montego Bay & Kingston that Chinese supermarkets & shops are sometimes the only little employment for many. Angel contrary to what you may think, I am not defending or attacking Chinese investments. I am simply saying to learn from them bcse they have a good business model & good business sense that is part of their culture, and ordinary Jmcns don't. Two years into my video Chinese investors are rural Jmca's largest employers. Do you see where this is going? LEARN FROM OUR CHINESE INVESTORS. The 'ism & 'scism is not helping us Angel.
@@bobmontego7328 Neither am I defending or attacking Chinese investment. I am concerned that 10 - 20 years down the road Jamaica don't find itself in the same or worse position it is in now by not taking advantage of these investments by developing its people. But if you love it and are satisfied oh well.
Point taken Angel. Thanks for watching.
I can only speak about Jamaica. I can certainly say that the Chinese are united We don't have a Chinese Benevolent Society. They have Chinese MP such as Rose Leon and Ferdinand Yap- Sam who have assisted the Chinese in their endeavors. Quite the opposite with a Jamaican black. Our corrupt politicians and police force keep us suppressed and can't get ahead. It's always one step forward and two steps backwards. Because of the inequality in Jamaica , in education, and otherwise, plus the color casts system from slavery days Jamaican blacks will never have the same opportunities as the Azzans and the Marzoucas and the Matalons. So they are perceived to be lazy and good for nothing and worthy of imprisonment. Until you walk a mile in someone's shoes don't judge them.
Good insight. You said a lot in this message. Thank you 🙏🏽
As a jamaican with indiginous african and hebrew origins i feel if there was not racial disrespect for black jamaicans the recent chinese settlement would of been viewed differently.

Facts
Please keep your country in your hands . You make the rules
People have to remember that it’s China that is willingly spending money in a region that is extremely risky in terms of government investments. People can have an attitude to them or what not but they should not forget that they are accelerating the building of your country. The brits would never and to this day would never spend a single pound there because of the high risks incurred. Of course it must feel a bit uncomfortable since it’s happening so suddenly but China is a lot different to america or the Uk. China operates on a economic scale. They want to spend money and build trade links. This way they can secure allies in the future and trade partners whereas the country that is being invested in also benefits of being able to use that money to accelerate economic growth in their country. Don’t forget the last time governments refused to cooperate with the US, they’ve ended up going into civil war or economic depression. Libya, Iraq and afghanistan etc... China gives proposals for the Jamaican government for them to consider. If they do not like it, the Chinese come back with a new proposal. They aren’t forcing the governments to accept these plans. That’s the difference between Chinese investment and American investment
Thank you for watching D.
I do not know what you're talking about but Jamaica prime minister don't know how to build Jamaica economically. If he knew how to build Jamaica economically first thing he would have made Jamaica do more export that import. He would have made agricultural the main money earning in Jamaica than tourism. It doesn't make any sense for Jamaican government to import things that Jamaica can grow for themselves.
Secondly he wouldn't put Jamaica in so much debt, he should of take a book from the greatest prime minister that Jamaica have don't borrow too much money.
Thirdly since this man became the prime minister poor people are suffering more because everything raised GCT skyrocketed, taxi fare skyrocketed and minimum wage is $7,000 per week that is $48 US dollars per week. Do you think Jamaican people can live from that.
Lastly if Jamaica government did care, he wouldn't make Chinese people own so much supermarkets and shops and pay their worker so little money for that much work. Do you ever work in a Chinese supermarket before, they do not allow the workers to sit down for the 10 -11 hours per day they are working for.

Hmm A few years ago, Chinese workers moved into my mother's home, paying no rent for several months! Her brother was too embarrassed to say what had happened. Eventually he had no choice after she flew back there for a holiday.
Story was he only gave them the key's to view the property and they moved in without signing a contract 🤬 Let's just say once my mother mentioned 👮🏽♂️ was going to get involved, they paid up and signed a contract before she left the island.
Most of these companies barely employ locals. Majority of them choose to employ those from their own background and fly them in! 🤨

Whatever a man builds into his own character becomes his permanent possession, his indestructible riches, his everlasting treasures of boundless wealth. These treasures are beyond decay and destruction and the reach of thieves. All worldly treasures ( land ), that are accumulated in greed and selfishness and mis-directed energies, are outside of the individual and therefore are not his own. They are treasures he can lay no actual claim to, "For the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof." The worldly wealth one may lay claim to cannot possibly become his own. All that is his are the attributes and the selfish desires that were used in acquiring such outside possessions. These treasures of the earth are only a counterfeit, worthless collection of valueless, temporary duration. And for these worthless, impermanent possessions one may have forfeited his own soul. The only real, lasting treasures are the ones which a man has gathered into himself as he has enriched that divine "Kingdom of heaven -- which is within."

Well spoken Carlton Watson. I wonder if Carlton attended STATHS.
Jamaicans are mixed there are chineesejamaicans and indojamaicans who came since 1870s Era who came as indentured servants. Most Jamaicans have mixed background. There are ancient Chinese who have been in the country from back then who help build the country asindentured servants but I don't know where the new ones come from. I'm ok with the old ones who have been there for centuries and became chineesejamaicans but not the new ones.
Des Rankine 1935, I am not sure if you have thought about what you have said. But if you have ever heard anyone said that some Jmcns can be very intolerant of other groups of people, your statement is what they mean. Jmcns have traveled, lived, and accepted in many places like USA, Ca., & UK for centuries, but should these countries now reject new Jmcns coming in, especially with some of our flaws?
The new arrivals of Chinese coming in are coming with money & expertise to invest, not coming empty handed to learn expertise & make money as we Jmcns generally do when we go to other countries. Yet other countries accept us, despite all our many flaws. The point of the video is that we should learn from the solid business model of ethnic Jmcn Chinese & as well as the new investment class of Chinese coming in at the invitation of the Jmcn gov & the private sector organizations of Jmca. If we are suspicious of them - then keep our eyes open. But how can it hurt to learn from them? Don't let Google Search or posted videos instruct your undestanding of the world .... that's information not education. The only things holding up our economy are Chinese investments, money remittance from Jmcns abroad, tourism, & a growing manufacturing sector. Learn from the Chinese among us, and pay attention if we must. But Conservative America is not interested in us and neither is "backrah massa" Britain ..... our options are few so let's not be stupid thinking that we are smart.
The Chinese businessmen have direct access to production factories which gives them lots of leverage, that’s why they are able to move around the world the way they do. Watch and see what they do and just do like them. Economic jealousy will get no one anywhere. Buy low sell high. Learn skills that are needed, charge less and make money in volume. That’s their motto.
Absolutely! Skylar you hit the nail on the head. That is what I call "the uncomfortable truth".... Jmcns should learn from the Chinese in Jmca. Don't waste your time in online culture wars, holding grudges, spinning conspiracy theories, or spewing hate bcse that will not benefit Jmca. They have been classic examples of how to run successful businesses in Jmca for generation. Learn from them. Thanks for watching Skylar.
I agree with your content. Stop the hate; it doesn't help.
Thank you for watching Hortense.
You should look into the China "Belt and Road" initiative. China has gone into countries all over the world and made deals for infrastructure, building bridges,roads and buildings in exchange for loans. The cost is high, and the stuff is so cheaply built that it falls apart quickly, and the government is then indebted to China over loans that are larger than their national GNI. Then they seize infrastructure or land for themselves.
They're doing it all over the world, Africa, South America, Europe, Middle East.....
Play with them if you want, you'll get the short end of the stick.
Thank you Tess, but I am very familiar with the Chinese effort to gain Geo-Economic Advantage around the world over the US through their Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). They learnt this from the US, but have overtaken them bcse the US was distracted with war in Afghanistan, Iraq, & Syria for 20years.
But as to Jmca, Chinese will continue investing, living, & becoming Jmcn citizens whether you & I like it or not. Bcse they are effective business investors (quick-sale-small-profit), Jmcns across the board should learn from them. It's OK to have a healthy skepticism of the Chnse, but learn from them. That's it for me. Thanks for watching Tess.

There is a "cause and effect" element that we are largely missing because of the amount of misplaced anger (often times warranted).Those of us peddling "doom's day forcasts" must first explain the rudiments of a market economy to people listening to them and encourage local participation in our own economy, or else it will look like we just don't like the foreign presence of the Chinese.

@@madeinjamaica7025 There is a huge distinction between "local" & "foreign" investment for developing countries like Jmca. We "want" local investments, but we "need" foreign investments. Local investments shift the local money around, while foreign investments bring in fresh money on top of the local money supply. Governments "everywhere" offer "tax holiday" or "exemption" to attract this outside money because it is critical to national development. What ordinary Jmcns should not do is to be confused that govmnt is giving free money to foreign investers but not Jmcns. That's not true. The economy "wants" local investment, but "needs" foreign investments, which is why gov begs foreigners to bring their money & new ideas - the two things we severely lack. The Chinese were once where we are, depending on US foreign investment. Now the US cannot servive without China So let's stop obsessing about the Chinese and learn from them.

I feel that the negative issues between black and Asian people generally tend to only show up in America. Chinese companies do a lot of business in Africa and there are a lot of African immigrants in China as well as other East Asian countries. A lot of Asian people can be hateful towards African immigrants but it's mostly xenophobic in nature. They see them the same way right wing people do Hispanics in America. African Americans get better treatment because they're seen as being wealthier tourist or business people. I'm generalizing but you get the picture.

The problem is that many of the poorer African countries sometimes have corrupt leaders that may allow Chinese industry to abuse African resources and people the way that European colonists did.
However, African people can benefit if doing business with China if the profits go towards improving infrastructure, education and jobs. And i think that African leaders need to step up to ensure that happens.

Larome, on the contrary, I see that you don't get it. If the United States & Europe CAN NOT do without China's money & expertise, then poor lttle Jamaica also CAN NOT. The SIMPLE point of this video is that: If Jamaica is only attracting foreign investment from China (and not US, Ca, EU) then LEARN FROM THE CHINESE INVESTORS so we can grow. We don't need to love the Chinese to learn from them. If we keep talking these platitudes that are not grounded in any academic understanding of geo-economics, then we can't do a DAMN thing for Jmca except talk "malarkey". Again, I am simply saying to learn from them how to build roads, bridges, drains, sidewalks, retention walls, train lines, runways, shipping peers ... LEARN FROM THEM. That's how they got to where they are. It's not about defending China or being naive, because I am not. It''s about understanding the "The Uncomfortable Truth". And this understanding has to be informed by more than the likes of "Google Search", "RUclips" videos, or "FaceBook". As to the Chinese business investers, they are not doing well bcse government gives them "tax-free holidays", because every foreign investors gets this insensitive to bring their money to Jmca.

So if a Black yardie has a store in Parish A and they open up another store across the street who do you think will have the cheaper price? They will because of the seller... The Chinese will give their countryman a lower price to put that store out of business.... How can you compete with that?
It is unfair business practices that the JA Govt allow them to do....they are practicing racism, what is in that you can't comprehend?
Clair, on the contrary, I see that you don't get it. If the United States & Europe CAN NOT do without China's money & expertise, then poor lttle Jamaica also CAN NOT. The SIMPLE point of this video is that: If Jamaica is only attracting foreign investment from China (and not US, Ca, EU) then LEARN FROM THE CHINESE INVESTORS so we can grow. We don't need to love the Chinese to learn from them. If we keep talking these platitudes that are not grounded in any academic understanding of geo-economics, then we can't do a DAMN thing for Jmca except talk "malarkey". Again, I am simply saying to learn from them how to build roads, bridges, drains, sidewalks, retention walls, train lines, runways, shipping peers ... LEARN FROM THEM. That's how they got to where they are. It's not about defending China or being naive, because I am not. It''s about understanding the "The Uncomfortable Truth". And this understanding has to be informed by more than the likes of "Google Search", "RUclips" videos, or "FaceBook". As to the Chinese business investers, they are not doing well bcse government gives them "tax-free holidays", because every foreign investors gets this insensitive to bring their money to Jmca. It's bcse of their business model, and we can benefit from learning it. Thanks for watching.
This Bob Montego is a hypocrite
You share my sentiment
The older Chinese were family, to all Island in the Caribbean I an not sure about the most recent. China has employed a Global dominance do not be naive an out China's motives.
David, there is no mystery about China. They are now a global player who wants what America, Europe, Canada, & India wants, which is competitive economic advantage through global geo-economic positioning. That is a position currently held by the US and is jealously guarded, but loosing grip.
As for Jamaica, Chinese have been coming none-stop for almost two centuries. The difference is that, in the last two decades Chinese have not come as economic migrants as they use to, but as investors, engineers, & scientist bcse China is now rich. Because the wider Jmcn society has not learnt from the long successes of Chinese in Jmca, I am firm that we should learn from them instead of holding feelings of animosity & indifference for them, especially bcse they are leaders in small & mid-size businesses in Jmca. Thanks for watching David.
Really ask Hong Kong if they see it your way.
Don't want to overstate my point David, or speak in defense of China. My point is simply that Chinese investment & expertise is going to keep flowing into Jamaica, as it is everywhere else. It is fine to be cynical, but rather than showing indifference we should learn from them. Their money & expertise is the only ones flowing into Jamaica.
The issue of Hong Kong is different, the island has always been theirs. It was annexed & occupied by England, wiho agreed to return it after a 100years. I understand your misgivings of China for slowly returning the island to one-party rule quicker than agreed. I do too. But it does not mean that Jmca's economic dependence should move from UK, to the US, now China, and then India next without learning how to stand on our own? Learn from China. Thanks again for watching David.
I agree with you sir.
Me no like the phenotype dats all .If Black man nah invest someone else will
The only thing we can learn from the Chinese is not to deal with them don’t be stupid
The Chinese are peaceful people. I just love them .

Your thoughts are too idyllic for this Cruel World. You think they are putting in all of this infrastructure and investment for the benefit of Jamaica and Jamaicans🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They won't be in Jamaica as teachers but abusers of the people and the Country.
"T", Jamaica has been exploited economical by Britain (the logest), USA (the most), and now China. You honestly think Jamaica should not learn economic savvy from the Chinese? It does not matter what our iissues are with them, they have the skills, the smarts, the know-how, & the money. We need their investment money, their technology, their smarts, & their know-how. LEARN FROM THEM, or else the next emerging economy to exploit Jamaica (and leave us complainiing) will be India. China learnt from their exploiters, and so should Jamaica. And "T", you don't sit and wait for someone come and teach you look & learn. Jamaicans should begin by looking & learning how the Chinese turn a little "hole-in-the-wall" business into a large enterprise in no time, and that's "The Uncomfortable Truth". Respect "T".
lol we are Moors look it up
......and we are also Chinese, Indians, Lebanese, English, Irish, Scottish, Germans, and largely from multiple regions of West/Central Africa. I am sure there is a connection to the Moorish people across North Africa, they were a popular ethnic group. Thank you for watching Alramur.
@@bobmontego7328 don't forget syrian but Lebanese and syria are pretty much the sane ..my family came from Syria the same time as the Lebanese
Yusha, that's true. I tend to say Lebanese because most came after Lebanon aplit from Syria after the war. But you are right, many came when the conflict zone was still Syria. Thanks for watching Yusha.

Your very naive 😂🤣
You’re r either naive or you’re mixed with them I think it’s both y’all don’t listen to this lost hope
Corey why don't you just speak to the issue and drop the personal racial insinuations ("mix with them")?
Learn from Chinese what does a Chinese person ever teach us
Chinese-Jamaicans are the most successful ethnic group in Jmca since I was a boy. They created the templet for successful bakeries, supermarkets, wholesale, gambling, etc, in Jmca. Their concept of quick-sale-small-profit is still the fastest route to succeeding in business in Jmca. The new Chinese business class is no different. And Jmca's Jewish, Lebanese, & Indian business class all use the same business model to succeed, which is largely why they are not higglers on sidewalks or "bend-down" markets. Learn from them. Hope that answers your question Dotty 5000.
Have you seen the bribes they pay officials do you see our government even trying to get us locals in a position of power sure we Jamaicans have a lot to learn to run a business but a Jamaican would never sell meat they know that is spoiled to you a Jamaican would never treat even a Chinese as a slave their work ethic is to be admired but I rather die a free man than selling out my own to a notion that doesn’t even love themselves only money
This is so anti black... why assume we dont know how to advance? The issue is capitalism, corrupt politicians & anti blackness, theres nothing we need fi learn from them. Stop infantalizing black people
@@bobmontego7328 Why are Afro Jamaicans And Indigenous Jamaicans not working hard for there own people?
@@bobmontego7328 they never created shit they just come to Jamaica and live off the people.Jamaicans can open their own supermarket and break their own bread.People like you have self hatred.deep down you want to sleep with a Chinese and produce blasian kids.
You said the Chinese, they tell you what they want, you tell them what you want, they give you what they want
Sounds about right......
Jamaicans , don't be willing to sell more than half the island to live prettier. Thats what it sounds like to me
Lay, I think you fully understand what I was trying to say, it's a transposition error (but it's OK if you have fun with it). As to the claim of "Jamaicans selling out Jmca", Jmca is a Free Market Economy, so it don't reject investments based solely on resentment or prejudice for investers. If so countries like US, China, Canada, Erope & much of Asia, would not be rich. Lay, our understanding of this issue must be informed by much more than Google Search or personal resentments. And this doesn't mean that the Chinese doesn't have motives or anything to be concerned about. Appreciate you for watching & commenting Lay.

Investing, renting and buying are 3 different things brother
And completely understand your point I just don't like how you said it. Black people don't need anyone. Number 1 working with people that has our best interest at heart that's a good thing, but Jamaica is the black man land. Chinese people are coming to Jamaica and investing because it's a good business opportunity, land and resources make money. Jamaica the land the people/consumers
Jamaicans have more to negotiate with don't forget that, accept the investment accept the rent but don't sell / go to China and try to buy land ya ass can't. AND DON'T SAY WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM NO WE CAN LEARN DROM EACH OTHER BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE HAVE ALOT TO OFFER
Lay, just as a reminder, while Jamaica is of a majority West/Central African ancestry, it has a distinct minority ancestory of Chinese, Indians, Lebanese, British, Irish, Scotish, & Germans. Members of these ethnic minority groups make up the lion share of Jmca's rich business class, all of whom relied on thier ethnic values to survive & prosper when they came or were brought to Jmca. Of this group, one of the better business model I have seen is the Chinese bcse it is simple. They rent a place, live in the back, open shop in the front, make quick sales small profit, live simple, & in five years buy the property & build the largest supermarket in the town. It doesn't matter if it's generational Chinese or new arrivals, their business model is the same, with clear success. On the flip side, the greater portion of Jmca's largest ethnic group continues to struggle with the "streetside vendor" & "bend-down market" business model. When something works use it. Learn from the Chinese "quick sale small profit" business model. Forget the 'ism & 'sksm bcse that has no road map to a people's success. Thanks again for your time Lay.
@@bobmontego7328 have a nice day BROTHER
That dude is spillingout some serious FACTS...
But...
Just today, I was saying that in most African Countries, basically what China is doing, they are financially colonizing all of these POOR 3rd World Countries with super high interest rate, short term loans.
Then, they are also using that exact same loaned out money to build key infrastructure within the Country, that CHINA WANTS for themselves...
They are doing all kind of stuff for them, but also requiring that they can only use ALL CHINESE LABOR not any local labor or hardly any local Companies...
Then, when they can't pay back these loans, they own all that stuff...
STUFF that China really wanted in the first place, like power plants, gold and silver mines, farm land, shipping ports, airports, etc, etc....
Basically, they're doing the same thing that they did to COLONIZE AMERICA, after Nixon went to China and sold American workers down the river to Chinese workers for "30 pieces of silver"...
Now look at US today, with everything in Walmart that WE ARE BEING FORCED INTO PAYING FOR that was made by Chinrese slave wage workers...
Isn't that exactly what Great Britain wanted to do, when they first put colonies in Jamestown?
They wanted to reap all the financial benefits of this new land that they were investing in...
Now China has been the primary investor in Walmart... They are 5he main ones who are reaping most of the benefits from all their "Made In China" products that's in Walmart!!!
You can't even get Walmart to buy or sell hardly no American made goods, because the COMMUNISTS Chinese government will not ALLOW Walmart to stock American made products, unless those products are NOT currently being made in CHINA...
Why is that?
BECAUSE Walmart has also sold the American worker, and as a result the American economy and it's WEALTH down the river for "30 pieces of silver"...
ALL in the name of LOWEST PRICES...
China perfected this SCAM by paying off American Businessmen and American Politicians, and now they're doing the exact same thing all over the World...
That's why I truly believe only, under the Democrats, that's why the US and most major World ECONOMIES are purposefully being taken down to SHIT...
POLITICIANS all over the World, now know how much they have fucked up by NORMALIZING TRADE RELATIONS WITH COMMUNISTS...
That's what all of this high inflation is really all about... to bring China BACK down by the exact same almighty DOLLAR, that they allowed to be used to build China UP to become such a powerful RED DRAGON, over the last 40 years!!!!
Now, they all know,as a last resort before it consumes US ALL, they got to crash the entire World economy just to KILL THE RED DRAGON!!!
The US did the exact same thing to the Japanese way back in the late '80s and the early '90s, when it looked like Japan was going to become the #1 World economy, and they have NEVER RECOVERED FROM IT.... 💯FACTS!!!
BUT....
Here's what should make you SHIT YOUR PANTS:
Japan was NOT the most populated Nation on the entire Planet...
Japan was NOT at all a formidable military THREAT...
Japan did NOT have any nuclear weapons ...
Japan did NOT have a military alliance with the #1 most nuclearized Nation on the entire Planet, who just so happens to be America's #1 sworn enemy ... in RUSSIA!!!
So, boys and his let's all get ready, since it's going to be a BUMPY RIDE before things, hopefully settles back down😳☹️🧐🤨
